While whipping myself into a Geekasm about MAD MAX: FURY ROAD last night, I stumbled across this rather interesting interview with the film’s composer - Tom Holkenborg (aka Junkie XL). This via Collider.
So, yeah, this interview isn’t exactly ‘new’ - it was posted back in March. But I just learned about it, there’s some rather interesting insight into FURY ROAD’s production here (around 25:50), as well as some discussion about working with Zack Snyder on MAN OF STEEL and BATMAN v SUPERMAN. And, as neither FURY ROAD or BvS are have been released yet, this discussion remains strangely insightful and timely.
Also, here’s an official sample of some of Holkenborg’s score for MM:FR - which features prominently in some trailers we’ve seen for the picture, but works remarkably well on its own here. Could be a tremendous soundtrack release…
