The Thing About The Fantastic Four Soundtracks

Careful the first soundtrack album for THE FANTASTIC FOUR movie won't be the actual film score, but the obligatory exploitative song compilation release.

Released on Wind-Up records on July 5th, the "various artists" soundtrack, entitled Fantastic Four - The Album, features the usual assortment of pop tunes barely heard in the film, including new music from Velvet Revolver, Joss Stone, Ben Moody featuring Anastacia, Sum 41, Taking Back Sunday, Chingy, and Ryan Cabrera, plus the debut of two highly anticipated Wind-up artists, Megan McCauley and Omnisoul.

FANTASTIC FOUR Soundtrack

The real soundtrack music, however, will appear on July 12th from Varese Sarabande. The epic score for FANTASTIC FOUR was composed by X2 composer John Ottman. Scored for a huge orchestra and capturing the scope of the picture, Fantastic Four may well become one of the classic scores of the comic book genre. See the May/June issue of Film Score Monthly magazine for a short interview with Ottman about his FF score.

I'm hoping this movie doesn't suck. I've seen all the previews and I think they took too much liberty with everything. The Thing should have been CGI (though I'm hoping the Commish can overcome that), and they have tinkered too much with history and background and look of Dr. Doom. Comic book movies need an interesting villan, and he just seems to bland. That being said, the torch looks right on, and Jessica Alba looks hot.

Shouldn't the Human Torch have looked hot, and Jessica Alba have been right on?
Never mind
I think if you did the Thing as CGI he would have looked like "Orange Hulk" instead of the Thing.
They have tinkered with the histories of all the recent comic book movies. They only have 2 hours to do the most exciting movie they can. I would not have gone to see the X-men movie if it have the original 5 man lineup...They havn't even bothered to mention Angel, and as far as I know, no one minds.
