Same music used as Madonna movie W.E?


During the abdication scene from Edward it seems they use the same music as Madonna (golden globe winning) W.E a movie about Edward and Wallis simpson. I think the abdication scene is W.E was much stronger.

No. I don't think so. I was sure it was all new material

To give you a more complete answer: no, there was no repeated use of the score. W/E.'s score was composed by Abel Korzeniowski which is very romantic in style, utilizing piano and violin heavily. Rupert Gregson Williams, working for Hans Zimmer's Remote Control studio's (hence Zimmer doing the main theme) composed The Crown's score. While Rupert also employs piano and violin throughout his work, hence probably a somewhat similar feel at times, his score is also a lot more modern, using more electronics (synthesizers), less organic instruments. There was no tracked in music from Abel's score.
