Superman Returns John Ottman on Superman Returns score

[SolidSnakeMGS]

I didn't know if this deserved it's own thread or not, but here is a blurb about why Williams actually passed on scoring SR.

The latest issue of Spanish film magazine Fotogramas fetures an exclusive article o*n Superman Returns, which cites Brandon Routh's resemblance to Christopher Reeve as o*ne of the reasons why John Williams isn't in charge of the score. "I could never have dealt with this score. He [Brandon] reminded me too much of Chris", admits the Maestro.

This is AWESOME news! I'm glad to hear the Love theme is staying in the score. I was actually somewhat disappointed when JO said a while back that the Love theme would no longer work -- but I was a little confused at the time because he referenced the 'pop' version (which was horrible even then). Sounds like he wasn't a fan of that iteration, but does love the theme overall.

i hope that he will update this themes fro mwilliams. because if it is the same than f... you ottman.i am afraid that i will not like this music. they changed metropolis and the suit. you can also change the music.

Uh, they already said it would be the same! And I -- like many others -- are GLAD that the music is the same. It should be. Ottman could never exceed Williams, so why try? Plus it's obvious if they're using the first two Reeve Superman movies as a starting point that the music should be carried over. It's the right thing to do and one of the best decisions the production has made.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

This sounds excelent..

he is basicly updating the original score..and the themes are going to be in there more than we think.

 

[Junfan]

Good listen. Sounds like he did the right thing.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Well it sounds like in the end he had no choice..because he could write around the score so easily.

not to mention Singer wants the score to be used.

 

[dark_b]

i hope that in the soundtrack he will give as musch of hes new music in there. because we already have the williams soundtrack.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

And that williams score is what makes it superman..to me anyway..that theme nails the heroic center that is the man of steel.

well i think that breaks a few prime directives.. but i will keep that in mind.

 

[Showtime]

Ugghh, dont go there.

I had to do it.

 

[Captain Kirk]

Hey, what about the all-important disco version of the love theme! Maybe its not too late to replace Richard with John Travolta. Superman would have to get down like its Saturday night to get Lois back!
