The soundtrack borrows elements from Elliot Goldenthal's 1999 score for Titus, giving rise to some controversy in the film composer community. "Remember Us," from 300, is identical in parts to the "Finale" from Titus, and "Returns A King" (300) is similar to "Victorius Titus." On August 3, 2007, Warner Bros. Pictures acknowledged in an official statement, "a number of the music cues for the score of "300" were, without our knowledge or participation, derived from music composed by Academy Award winning composer Elliot Goldenthal for the motion picture "Titus." Warner Bros. Pictures has great respect for Elliot, our longtime collaborator, and is pleased to have amicably resolved this matter."

Famous quotes containing the word issues:
“Your toddler will be “good” if he feels like doing what you happen to want him to do and does not happen to feel like doing anything you would dislike. With a little cleverness you can organize life as a whole, and issues in particular, so that you both want the same thing most of the time.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
