Interview: John Ottman (X-Men: Days of Future's Past)
Composer John Ottman shares about returning to the X-Men franchise after a decade-long absence. He shares about his new theme for Professor X, composing the score for the opening action sequence twice, the apparent relationship between Magneto's theme in X-Men: First Class and his theme for Wolverine in X2: X-Men United. He also talks about how using source cue/song can be more effective in a scene than an original piece.
