3	Brian Theodore Tyler (born May 8, 1972) is an American film, television and video game composer who primarily creates scores for action adventure films. Tyler pursued a film career in high school, and was eventually tapped to compose the soundtrack to ''Film/SixStringSamurai'' in 1998. From there, Tyler went to score a number of critically-acclaimed scores for such films as ''Film/{{Frailty}}'', ''Film/DarknessFalls'', ''Film/{{Constantine}}'' and ''Annapolis''.

5	In addition, he has scored multiple installments of major Hollywood franchises, including the 3rd-5th, 7th-10th ''Film/TheFastAndTheFurious'' films, the fourth and fifth installments of ''Film/FinalDestination'' and the first three installments of ''Film/TheExpendables''. His works blend heavy symphonic work with bombastic musical cues.

7	Outside of Film, he has composed the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52khlKOl1do current official theme song]] for ''UsefulNotes/FormulaOne'' of all things (in use since 2018, [[https://youtu.be/52khlKOl1do?t=189 which also makes him a]] PromotedFanboy, to that effect.)

9	Tyler has also proved to be very good at melding past themes created in older franchise works with his own musical motifs (to ensure a sense of continuity). These include ''Franchise/{{Rambo}}'', ''[[Franchise/AlienVsPredator Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem]]'' and ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty: VideoGame/ModernWarfare 3''. Tyler seems to be following in the footsteps of the late, legendary composer Music/JerryGoldsmith as he is now working with adapting some of Goldsmith's scores (''Rambo'', ''Alien vs. Predator'', ''Timeline'') with the latest being that of adapting the new Creator/{{Universal}} logo fanfare for its centennial anniversary. He is has also shown signs of being just as eclectic as Goldsmith, using a collection of instruments from various ethnic backgrounds and more strange devices such as retro cars, and has proven to be just as prolific.

11	Although he didn't score ''Film/{{Skyline}}'' (his colleague Matthew Margeson wrote the music for that one), he was one of the executive producers.
