MUSIC NEWS - Brian Eno has signed on to write the score for the next film by director Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings trilogy). No, not his next Rings film (THE HOBBIT film, which btw has been delayed until a 2012 release), but instead, for The Lovely Bones, an adaptation of the Alice Sebold's novel. No elves, aliens or Tintin in it, but the film will have Rachel Weisz and Mark Wahlberg starring. Eno gets an "Original music by ..." credit in the film, making it one of his rare outings as a film soundtrack composer. He has appeared in many films, including Trainspotting and Boarding Gate, but he has rarely composed any scores. The last was in 2005 for The Jacket, starring Adrien Brody. The film is to be released in December 2009, giving Eno a bit of time between his work with David Byrne, U2 and Coldplay.
