If Mozart were alive today, what kind of films would he write music for?
I was just thinking about this the other day... most composers, nowadays, look at the movie industry for work contracts - at least in the US... If Mozart were alive today, I wonder what kind of music would he compose, for what kind of films, and whether he'd establish an affiliation with any particular director (as some compsers do)...
What's your opinion?

If Mozart were alive today, he'd throw himself out a window once he realized that more people these days recognize the work of William Hung than they do Joseph Haydn.

If Mozart were alive today, he would probably be a rock star, to be honest.
But to answer the question, most film composers don't work within a genre. And I imagine Herr Mozart would be no different.

Wasn't his music the "Pop" of it's day?

Groucho nailed it. I imagine "Wolfie" and Brian Wilson might have been wonderful collaborators.

And, from what I've heard, Paganini was the Marilyn Manson of his day.
