Apocalypse Scoring Age of Apocalypse - The Soundtrack/Music Thread

[GuestStar2004]

I imagine they will want a new score for battles and stuff since they pick music to fit sequences

 

[By your Command]

Yeah, it's probably mostly new stuff and the main theme, at least I hope Singer's less afraid of using it this time around.

 

[Takato]

Can't wait, when I heard the X-theme in the cinema for DOFP it threw me back to seeing X2 when I was 11 or 12. I never find ottman's soundtracks out of place, I remember during Jurrassic World thinking the theme was awfully placed...

 

[EnDz0n3]

Since DOFP has come out, every time I see the 20th Century Fox logo I'm always expecting the X2 theme to pop up. And I'm always disappointed when it doesn't.

I love ottmans soundtracks but I would like some more stand out pieces dotted throughout the film. I only really remember his stuff from the beginning and end of each film whereas fc had Frankenstein's monster that really hit me and X1 had one somewhere in the middle that I loved too

 

[Great Mind(s)]

I kinda want the X2 theme to be for films with the OT cast only

I think the one you might be thinking of is the Cerebro theme:

Michael Kamen was great.

 

[GuestStar2004]

I think they will use the X2 theme again just for nostalgic value, plus ottman believes its good to keep the same theme for a franchise

Yeah me too!

 

[x-er]

I know I might be beating a dead horse here as well, as I was listening to the DOFP soundtrack today, I recalled feeling so thrilled when the original theme came on in that theater two years ago. I think I'd feel just as thrilled this time too.

My belief is that we will get the X2 theme again but we will see

 

[iacobusleo]

I think we definitely will, it's basically the X-Men theme at this point.

What I want is a reprise of Magneto's theme. It was in DOFP, but only in the beginning Sentinel scenes and not anything to do with Magneto.

A little music continuity is not too much to ask. Ottman repeated some of his motifs from X2, particularly at the end in the Mansion when Wolverine wakes up, and the emotional music that plays when Mystique drops the gun at the climax is a modified riff on her 'Would you date me' and 'To beast or not to beast' themes from FC. The lack of continuity in Magneto's theme stands out in comparison.

 

[Frankeh]

I hope Apocalypse's theme is as good as the ones he's had in animated series.

Hi t: newbie here t:

Anyways, I'm a big fan of this X-Men youtube show an' I was just thinkin' if maybe the xmen movies can use this as a theme as well, it really gives you the 90's TAS feel, but not too campy.

And that version would definitely fit in to the tone of X-men movies, thanks for fix up btw.

I hope so, but I hope they one day finally give us this one:

Sony Classical to Release ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Soundtrack

What Ottman did for Superman Returns was nothing short of AMAZING. So much emotion and tone in those tracks. The music basically made that movie.

For Apocalypse, I like what he did in the the end-credit scene at the end of Days of Future Past. It needs some sounds nodding to Egyptian themes and really go out there, epic choir-like music similar to the film Stargate, with a strong emotional core. It needs to be something new and original. Every X-men film doesn't need the same types of themes replying through each film nor should it try to emulate the soundtrack in the cartoons. The cartoons are its own thing. The film needs original score.

I'd like to hear Xaviers theme somewhere in this film, though... It was a highlight.

That's exactly what I'd like.

It's sounds like a slow subtle version of the X2 theme features in the first half of the second X-men Apocalypse trailer.

I love Xavier's theme. Won't even deny it brings a tear to my eye when I hear it but especially in DoFP when Older Charles tells younger Charles we need you to hope again. Breaks me down. I hope to hear it again too.

And one of my fav fav bits in DoFP was when Storm and Magneto worked together to blow the jet up. The score in that scene was epic. Hope we hear good music like that again in Apocalypse. Also DoFP was a bit of foreshadowing with Magneto and Storm working together. Hope they show them doing something epic again together.
