Composer Ottman pays homage to John William’s iconic SUPERMAN theme, incorporating Williams’ music within his own thrilling, emotionally-charged orchestral score to this re-imagining of the Man Of Steel legend.

I cannot wait for mine to arrive. I've had various copies of the [rather unofficially version] but that doesn't make me any less excited. All of those were somewhat lacking in audio quality, so I'm certainly looking forward to having the complete score in lossless. Oh, and the "Return To Krypton" music. How exciting is THAT?

The answer is: Very.

 

[Micromind]

Looking forward to this.

And I hope that WB releases an extended version of SR too.

Posted on the Film Score Monthly forums back on 11/29.

Superman Returns is really a special treat for us since it's such a recent film score as well the one missing element from that fantastic FSM box set! An extra special thanks goes out to composer John Ottman who juggled overseeing this project while editing and scoring the upcoming X Men film (the man never sleeps. lol). He is truly one of the nicest guys I have ever met and absolutely adores his fans. Btw... Happy birthday, Superman!

Superman is flying the highest, though with nearly 2000 units out the door.

I got this as a gift for Christmas... although I did sadly miss out on a signed copy.

What an absolute treasure this score is. It has always been one of my favorites and to have a complete version of it is amazing.

I somehow don't think history will be kind to Superman Returns, but at least we can say the score was a downright triumph.
