Theres some FF music on the official site. Sounds a little like the theme from the first music but different. Wonder if this is a sneak at Ottman's stuff?

No...actually it's a snippet of Track 1 on the 2005 score release.

No word yet since Ottman is just wrapping things up. Most likely a few days before the movie hits.

Oh, thanks. My mistake.

This probably belongs in the other board but is there any news on the score in the director's cut version of the film? That seems to be the perfect place to put in the full score that was cut.

*Edit*

For the record, I think John did some terrific work on Superman Returns and X2. It's been his most iconic that I've heard so far which left me disappointed in his FF work but realizing that it was cut makes me want to hear the official score. Hopefully FF2 won't receive the same problems, otherwise I would get a different composer.

I'm so glad. His X2 score is some of the best movie music out there. It's had some serious workout on my iPod.

Warhammer · May 22, 2007

John Ottman is my favorite composer out there after John Williams.

:up:

Btw, I never knew that Ottman looked so young.
Him being 40-something was not what I thought. I thought he was 60-something.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer [SOUNDTRACK]
John Ottman (Composer)

Will be released on June 19, 2007. http://www.amazon.com/Fantastic-Fou...6940068?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1179897385&sr=1-1

I love the reprise music being used on the myspace page :up:

Can someone do direct links to the audio that won't spoil the film? I know it's a silly request, since this is the "Spoilers" board.

MattC · May 23, 2007

I edited my post, hope that works for you.

bosef982 · May 23, 2007

YEah. Can't hear much with the clips. The Silver Surfer theme is nice though, quite soft and sad.

And yes, Ottman has truly exploded his range as a composer as of late. The Usual Suspects and Hide and Seek were mediocre scores with some great moments. Then X2 just evolved his form, giving soem great cues and riffs and pushing in some great themes that would be abandond by Powell, though Powell did a good job in X3.

But Superman Returns was simply amazing. I don't know what he took or shot up with before writing that score, but that score is amazing. Everything from the new Superman theme, his emotional theme, the plane sequence music, to the new "Reprise" take on the Love Story...was amazing. I listen to this soundtrack routinely.

However, I will say that it looks like Story told him to not make it too mature with Fantastic Four 2, as the seriousness of SR is not entirely present. Which is okay, different films with different tones.

TheComicbookKid · May 23, 2007

Man this guy is good. He samples a lot but does just enough to add to his orginal score. So amazing.

Agree about SR. Man I hope he can take it up to another level with the supervillain fights in the sequel!

Oh yeah, Thanks MattC, couldn't get it to work from the original site.

wobbly · May 23, 2007

I still don't care for the main FF theme (that 'dah-dah-da-dum-dum' beat which seem to have remained intact going by these samples and was one of the varied things I rather disliked in the first film) but the Surfer's theme is a winner for me: suits the character very well.

I think Ottman also said that he enjoys these Fantastic Four films because of their lighter content, he can approach them on a lighter basis unlike Superman Returns which was a lot more serious and somber.

With FF, the tone is decidedly lighter and dare I say more fun, so I think Ottman plays with that, and quite well if you ask me.

I liked the main FF theme. It was adventurous and fun :woo

Wow. That's a damn good score. Gotta love this guy's work. I'm gonna go watch Fantastic Four right now. :up:

Creed0831 · May 23, 2007

Any word yet on a Fantastic Four 2 song album like the first movie? I know Wind-up did the first album but I haven't heard anything for the 2nd movie.

GoblinScrier · May 23, 2007

That is perhaps some of the best soundtrack scores I've ever heard....the theme for

Doom's Doublecross

is phenomenal.

Kelly · May 23, 2007

GS, that one was my favorite......that is exactly the type of music I thought of as I was reading the novel.....it goes perfect with those scenes....

I've always wanted epic music like that for Doom....that type of thing could be the new "Imperial March" for Doom like that music was for Vader....

Music clips sounded great. :up:

So far 2 things have happened with the novel and the tv spots and now the music....

The 2 scenes the Johnny/Sue switching scene and the Sue/Surfer were EXACTLY as I had them in my mind....and that very seldom happens when I read the novel before hand.....and then the music I heard for Doom was PERFECT......so I'm feeling pretty good about the movie right now...lol

Seen · May 23, 2007

I love how Ottman incorporates his original themes but interweaves them in a way that makes them seem more fresh and exciting.

I can't wait for this CD. After the disappointment that was Spider-Man 3 and how Young's score release was delayed until the end of this year, Ottman's FF2 score will be the first I purchase this year and it just feels right. I hope the movie and the score delivers like I suspect/hope it will. :word:
