John Ottman comments on SUPERMAN and John Williams!

Hey folks, Harry here with a question that's been on a lot of minds. Now, we've known that Williams' score would be somehow involved in the new film by Bryan Singer - we heard that from Bryan himself, but having John Ottman acknowledge it is an even cooler thing. Can't wait to see this!

Dear Harry--

I got to hear John Ottman speak tonight after a screening of "The Usual Suspects" at my school. First off, I have to say that he's a real down to earth, cool guy. He fielded a few questions about his role on the upcoming Superman film as both editor and composer. Of greatest interest to all the film geeks present was whether he plans to use any of John Williams' classic score. He said that while he fully intends to write his own score for the film, he knows he'd be crucified if he didn't pay homage. So I think it's safe to say we'll at least get a hint of those great themes.

Here's to a speedy recovery, Harry!
