The Gustav Holst Estate is suing him for plagiarising The Planets Suite in his score for Gladiator. Although Zimmer admits he uses the same musical vocabulary as Holst, I do think they'd have a much better case against Bill Conti's The Right Stuff or Cliff Eidelman's Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

Oh yes, that's right - they didn't sell as many copies as Gladiator...

and that comes to their minds after 6 years!!!????

I think it has more to do with the fact that Holst went out of copyright two years ago and they're obviously in need of new cashflow!

James Horner had better watch his back at this rate!
