They ended up reshuffling the placement of John's cues to the point where they needed additional music to "bridge" the gaps.
Beltrami's music fom SCREAM and MIMIC had been used in the temp score, and they asked Marco (who had a very good relationship with Dimension/Miramax) to rework the music and remove the themes.
It was easier for them to do that than ask Ottman to rewrite his score (as he wasn't happy with the sitation anyways, I doubt he'd have done so willingly!)

Thanks for the info. Did Beltrami write any new material for H20?
My understanding is that he just modified his existing cues to fit.

I'm giving up on Ottman. Not a note of his does anything for me. Seriously, I get more out of Trevor Rabin.
It doesn't feel like music from a film. It feels like music that's supposed to sound as if it might come from a film; music that's supposed to sound like film music.

Does anyone know the full listing of Beltrami tracks used in H20? I wanted to create a CD which has Ottman's PORTRAIT OF TERROR CD and throw the Beltrami tracks on as "bonus" tracks. I know that "Tatum's Torture" and parts of "The Cue From Hell" from SCREAM are also used in H20. What cues from MIMIC were used?

I wrote an article for FSM about this several years back and interviewed everyone concerned. Here's the link for subscribers: http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/fsmonline/issue_detail_print.cfm?issID=32&page=2
Ottman sent me the cue sheets from BMI and ironically, the majority of the score in the final film is his, albeit heavily edited. Ottman's stuff amounts to about 36 minutes; Beltrami wrote about 7 minutes of original material as "bumper cues" to smooth out the transitions between Ottman's music and the other pretracked cues that were also used. (The pretracked cues added up to about 9 minutes.)
The cue sheets (included in the article, by the way) did list Beltrami's original cues as well as his preexisting cues, but they were listed only with slate numbers and not given actual titles. If memory serves, the same few bars from "Race to the Subway" from MIMIC were used two or three times. SCREAM, SCREAM 2, MIMIC and even the original HALLOWEEN score were all incorporated in the final edit.
The cue sheet is actually pretty fascinating to look at; many cues in the final film incorporate five or six different pieces from both Ottman and Beltrami, with some pieces sometimes as short as a few seconds. Generally speaking, I tend to side with the filmmaker's edict of "whatever helps the film", but this was a particularly disheartening case of a score being completely dismantled and edited into incoherence.

Thanks for some cool info and samples! I dusted off my Portrait of Terror CD and had forgotten that the tracks are not in the intended film order. Does anyone know what the film order on the CD would be?
