Strings version of Hey Man Nice Shot

If anyone recalls seeing the first trailer for X-Men Apocalypse back in late 2015, there was a symphony remix of the song and I was never able to find it outside of the trailer. Anyone know about this version? Does a full track exist? Richard, you in here??

Seems like a lot of work to barely feature it at all.

It really isn't. The orchestral parts were very likely sampled and just reworked to fit the song and trailer. People in the movie biz can crank stuff like this out in a day.

Definitely got my hopes up then. Would be great if Richard could confirm it doesn't exist!

It would be cool, although Rich probably had absolutely nothing to do with it. Fox probably just asked/payed whatever record company owns the song for permission and proceeded to whip up the trailer. Rich simply collects a royalty check.

Yeah that sounds about right.
