Paramount Pictures has confirmed to Upcoming Film Scores that the music for Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson's new film, The Lovely Bones, is by Brian Eno. The ambient music icon gets an "Original Music by" credit in the film, according to Paramount, who are distributing the film in the US next year. 60-year old Eno (who started out as a keyboardist in Roxy Music, worked with artists such as David Bowie and John Cale, and produced albums by U2 and Coldplay) is perhaps not best known as a film composer but he has indeed scored several feature films, including the 2005 thriller The Jacket starring Adrien Brody. The Lovely Bones is based on the Alice Sebold novel and stars Mark Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz and Susan Sarandon. It's Peter Jackson's first feature as a director since King Kong.

A crying shame Jackson didn't ask Shore or even James Newton Howard to come back and score this one. Either of those men could've written something truly amazing. As for Eno... meh. We'll see.
Well, you don't know for sure that Shore and JNH weren't asked...... you're just assuming!
As for Eno, his score (sadly unreleased) to THE JACKET was great....
WHO in the world could ever find Eno as, '...meh...' ?!?! Obviously someone quite, 'meh' themselves.
