Originally, director Bryan Singer contacted Williams on scoring the film, but Williams declined due to being busy scoring Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds.
In 2013, La-La Land Records released a 2-disc limited edition of the soundtrack with an expanded track list.[1]
