John Ottman (born July 6, 1964 in San Diego, California) is an American film editor, composer and director.
He is best known for his collaborations with film director Bryan Singer, editing and composing the scores for The Usual Suspects, House of Wax, Apt Pupil, X2: X-Men United and most recently Superman Returns, adapting themes originally composed by John Williams. Because of a similar style in scoring, the results were generally well accepted. He performed both duties in addition to directing the horror film Urban Legends: Final Cut.
Ottman also scored the 2005 Marvel superhero movie Fantastic Four and the sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Ottman also modified John Carpenter's original Halloween theme for the sequel Halloween H20: 20 Years Later with new technology. He also worked on the 2007 film The Invasion, starring Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig. He was also in Finding Kraftland for his agent Richard Kraft.
