Well, those attending recent Film Music Prague festival heard the End Credits suite composed by John Ottman for the movie... and who also kindly provided with the blessing from MGM the the suite for the concert. Sadly, I don't remember seeing anyone familiar from here attending the concert...
so here you go... it's just a very short glimpse (which wasn't part of the suite) on the score... but you can at least enjoy 1 minute from the latest John Ottman's masterpiece over at Kraft-Engel Magament's website.
I am a big Ottman fan and have been looking forward to Jack The Giant Killer. I like what I hear. John Ottman is at his best when he is afforded the opportunity to write for a large orchestra.
I thought Ottman was going to be something special when I heard his excellent "Incognito" score a few years ago, but I've been proved wrong.
i was as excited about ottman 10 years ago as i was about giacchino 3 or 4 years ago. my interest in giacchino has more or less continued, whereas i forgot about ottman after X2.
I can see that Ottman's theme-writing skills haven't improved much from Fantastic Four. I like his smaller scores fine but I don't get why he gets hired for doing these large epics. They aren't his strength at all.

I can't imagine you typing yet another negative comment, how strange, Basil, writing something negative... Would it kill you to actually be nice once in a blue moon, lol?
This does sound pretty good but is a download only?
It seems to be right... possibly there will be another shitty CD-R on demand. Hey... it's only some little movie that cost only about 200 millions to make... Poor Warners can't afford to produce actual CDs within that budget.
You can listen to an interview on www.filmmusicsite.com with composer John Ottman. He talks about his latest score for Jack The Giant Slayer!! He also confirmed in that interview that he will be writing the score to Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past. He will also be editing this film!
