Following circulating rumors last night, Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling has confirmed via Twitter that Hans Zimmer will be composing the score for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. This is his first work on a video game, but he’s well-known as a prolific composer for Hollywood films. His resume includes over 100 movies going back 25 years in the industry, and he won an Oscar for his work composing The Lion King.

Other notable contributions from Zimmer include Thelma and Louise, Gladiator, and both of the recent Batman films. Alongside Modern Warfare 2, he’s also currently working on Sherlock Holmes and Inception. Apparently he doesn’t sleep. [1up]
