Tom "Junkie XL" Holkenborg will score
Sonic the Hedgehog, the artist confirmed in a recent interview with Film Music Magazine. When it comes to crafting the score to a big budget film, Holkenborg is no newbie, as has been making a name for himself with film scores over the past six years, scoring major productions such as
Mad Max: Fury Road, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and
Divergent.
Considering that Tim Miller is producing the hybrid between live-action and CG, it's hardly surprising that Paramount Pictures has decided to hire Holkenborg, as he scored the Miller-directed
Deadpool.
Sonic the Hedgehog is helmed by Jeff Fowler
(Gopher Broke, Where the Wild Things Are), starring Ben Schwartz (
Modern Family, DuckTales), James Marsden (
Enchanted, X-Men: The Last Stand), Tika Sumpter (
Ride Along, Think Like a Man), Neal McDonough (
Captain America: The First Avenger, Band of Brothers), Adam Pally (
Californication, Taking Woodstock), and Jim Carrey (
Liar Liar, Bruce Almighty).
The live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie will be released in US cinemas on November 8, 2019.
