If you thought it was time for a little less conversation about the Mortal Engines film, you'd be wrong.
It would seem the guy that brought Elvis back from the dead is scoring the soundtrack to the film.
While I haven't seen an official source, there's plenty of internet whispering and the IMDB now says it's happening, so Junkie XL it is then.
Indeed, our friends at The Sheehab gave us a tip (and proof) that Conrad Pope conducted the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra playing Tom Holkenborg's score so it seems pretty legit.
Pope was involved with the Hobbit's Desolation of Smaug soundtrack so it all makes sense.
So who is Holkenborg person and why do they get to team up with Peter Jackson and company to make some sweet music together?
Junkie XL brought Elvis Presley's "A Little Less Conversation into the world in 2002 and it was a world-wide smash.
Having had a fair bit of success under that name in the first half of the new century, Holkenborg then turned to composing for the movie industry with scores on a variety of films which include Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, Kingdom of Heaven and the Justice League.
He is arguably most well known for his score of Mad Max: Fury Road. Which you just know is going to fuel comparisons between that film and Mortal Engines.
His next big release is Battle Ange Alita.
And what of the name?
"I called myself Junkie XL from the point of view that once you're completely overworked, you never want to go there again. The 'XL' stands for expanding limits; broadening up your vision."
