James Horner is gone, but more of the late Hollywood composer’s music is on the way.

“Southpaw” director Antoine Fuqua revealed during an appearance on NPR’s “All Things Considered” that Horner not only composed the score for the boxing drama for free, but already composed music for Fuqua’s “Magnificent Seven” remake starring  Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Matt Bomer, Vincent D’Onofrio and Peter Sarsgaard.

“I just found out a couple days ago his team flew out here to Baton Rouge, and they brought me all the music from ‘Magnificent Seven,’” Fuqua said. “He had already wrote it for me based on the script.”
