 Music editor Scott Stambler (I) (qv) was involved in the  theatrical cut, and was brought in to try and reedit  Chris Boardman (qv)s music from that version of the film into the  Directors cut. When it was decided by director  Brian Helgeland (qv) that music simply didnt match the tone of  his film, he asked Stambler to write a new original score for his  film which was recorded in late Feburary 2006.
