Ramin Djawadi (Persian: رامین جوادی‎; born July 19, 1974) is an Iranian-German composer of orchestral music for film and television. Djawadi may be best known for his Grammy-nominated, guitar-driven score for Iron Man and Pacific Rim and for the TV series Prison Break, Game of Thrones and Person of Interest.

Biography

Débuts et ascension (1998-2010)
Ramin Djawadi est né le 19 juillet 1974 à Duisbourg, en Allemagne. Son père est d'origine iranienne et sa mère d'origine allemande.

C'est à l'âge de 24 ans, en 1998, qu'il sort avec une grande distinction de la Berklee College of Music à Boston, aux États-Unis. Peu de temps après, c'est le célèbre compositeur américano-allemand, Hans Zimmer, qui l'engage dans sa société Remote Control Production, à Santa Monica, en Californie.

Musicien pour le studio Remote Control, Ramin a commencé par composer des musiques additionnelles sur des grosses productions, comme le film d'action La Recrue ou encore pour le film populaire Pirates des Caraïbes : La Malédiction du Black Pearl. Il a ensuite co-composé avec Hans Zimmer sur The Island et le film de super-héros Batman Begins, en 2005.

C'est aussi durant cette période qu'il prend son envol : il compose la bande originale de la comédie d'action Thunderbirds, puis travaille avec le scénariste/réalisateur David S. Goyer pour qui il signe la musique du thriller d'horreur Unborn, produit par Michael Bay, puis pour le film Blade: Trinity.

Il se diversifie par la suite : en signant les bandes originales de films d'animation : en 2006, Open Season de Roger Allers, puis en 2008, Fly Me to the Moon de Ben Stassen.
Mais c'est en 2007 pour son travail sur le thriller psychologique Mr. Brooks, avec Kevin Costner, qu'il décroche une nomination au World Soundtrack Awards "Discovery of the Year".

La révélation se poursuit en 2008, il compose pour Iron Man de Jon Favreau. Le succès critique et commercial du film le ramène vers un cinéma d'action et de genre. En 2010, il enchaîne ainsi avec Le Choc des Titans de Louis Leterrier.

Mais la télévision est aussi responsable de cette ascension fulgurante. En 2005, son travail sur la série d'action Prison Break de Paul Scheuring, est salué par une nomination aux Emmy Awards. Il enchaîne ensuite avec deux éphémères productions de David S. Goyer : Blade (2006) et Flashforward (2009).


Confirmation critique et commerciale (2011-)
Ramin Djawadi est le principal compositeur de la musique de deux séries populaires lancées en 2011. Il devient connu pour son travail avec les séries à succès Game of Thrones créée par David Benioff et Daniel B. Weiss, et le polar Person of Interest de Jonathan Nolan. Ce dernier le recrute aussi sur un autre projet : la série de science-fiction Westworld, lancée en 2016 sur la chaîne HBO.

Au cinéma, sa bande-originale pour Pacific Rim de Guillermo del Toro, sorti en 2013, marque les esprits et lui permet de s'imposer en tant que compositeur de prédilection d'œuvres de genre.
Le cinéaste mexicain lui confie d'ailleurs la musique de sa première production télévisuelle : la série d'horreur The Strain, lancée en 2014 sur la chaîne FX.

Il confirme son ascension durant l'année 2016 avec le film d'heroic-fantasy Warcraft : Le Commencement de Duncan Jones et avec La Grande Muraille de Zhang Yimou.

In the Middle Ages, Vlad Tepes (Luke Evans) is the Prince of Wallachia and Transylvania. As a child, he was a princely hostage of the Ottoman Empire and was trained to be a soldier in the Sultan's elite Janissary corps, where he became their most feared warrior. He was called Vlad the Impaler after slaughtering thousands by impaling them on spears. Eventually sickened by his acts, he put aside his past and returned to rule his domains in peace. One day in the forest, Vlad and his soldiers discover a helmet in a stream. Fearing that an Ottoman scouting party is preparing the way for invasion, they follow the stream to a high mountain cave called Broken Tooth Mountain. Upon entering the cave, they discover the ground of the cave is carpeted in crushed bone; and they are attacked in the dark by an unknown creature (Charles Dance) with shining red eyes, as well as inhuman speed and strength. While his men are killed, Vlad cuts the creature of the cave with his sword before being thrown to the ground. The blood on the sword he used to cut the creature dissolves when exposed to sunlight, and the creature does not pursue Vlad into the sunlight at the mouth of the cave. Returning to his castle, Vlad learns from a local monk that the creature is a vampire, who was once a man who summoned a demon from the depths of hell and made a pact with it for dark powers before being tricked by the demon and cursed to remain in the cave forever until he is released by someone who drinks his blood, then drinks the blood of a human. The person is welcome to share his power in exchange for the freedom to escape the cave.

In 2013, Earth's coastal cities come under attack from Kaijus, colossal beasts that periodically emerge from a dimensional portal on the Pacific Ocean floor called "The Breach." To fight them, the Pacific Rim nations build the Jaegers, equally colossal humanoid war machines. Each Jaeger is controlled by two or more pilots whose brains are linked, called "drifting" to share the heavy mental load of operating the machine. The Jaegers are initially effective, but many are destroyed as the Kaijus grow more powerful and their attacks become more frequent. In 2025, the participating governments deem the Jaeger program unsustainable and discontinue it in favor of building defensive coastal walls. The four remaining Jaegers are redeployed to Hong Kong to protect the coast until the walls are completed. Jaeger commander Stacker Pentecost resolves to make a last-ditch attempt to end the Kaiju threat by destroying The Breach with a nuclear weapon, even though past nuclear strikes on the portal have been unsuccessful.
