Superman-V.com recently talked with composer John Ottman about some of his upcoming projects, including SUPERMAN RETURNS directed by Bryan Singer.

Rumors are swirling about in terms of John Williams score for SUPERMAN being used in some form. Ottman said, "Well, the intent right now is to use at least a version of the main theme or make a very respectable nod to it. But it's so early in the game. Films tend to evolve in ways one would never expect." He also added that, "There's no ego here, especially in the shadow of The Master!"

When asked about the story Ottman stated "To tell you the truth, I haven't read the script yet. I do know that Bryan holds the original Superman movie in very high regard, as do I. It's just a great film. I have to assume he's going to want to resurrect much of the root of what made that film great while offering a new story. Whatever his take, what I like about Bryan is he takes whatever world he creates very seriously."
