Zack Snyder Shares First Junkie XL Track From JUSTICE LEAGUE Score
Zack Snyder recently shared a track from the score that Junkie XL created for his four-hour cut of Justice League. Snyder originally hired Junkie XL for the film, but when Joss Whedon took over he replaced him with Danny Elfman.
Now fans finally get to hear what Junkie XL has been working on since he has returned to complete his score for the film. The first track from Junkie XL's score is titled "The Crew at Warpower," and you can listen below.
During a previous interview, Snyder praised the composer’s work on the film, saying:
"It's cool because he's really done an insane job. We recently just screened the movie for publicity and some other guys on the lot, and the music supervisor from Warner Bros. was saying, he was like 'Holy smokes, the music is unbelievable. Junkie has just crushed it.' And yes, he really has, I mean it's wall-to-wall. I was asking 'Are we doing an album? Because I want a box of those vinyl, four hours of music.' I don't know if we're doing it, I want to, but who knows."
After Junkie XL learned he was initially replaced by Danny Elfman, he expressed his thoughts, saying:
"As my mentor Hans Zimmer told me: you haven't made it in Hollywood as a composer until you get replaced on a project. So I guess I finally graduated this week. It pains me to leave the project, but a big thanks to Zack for asking me to be part of his vision, and I wish Danny, Joss and Warner Bros. all the best with Justice League."
Little did he know that years later he would be asked to return to complete his work on Justice League. This first track that was shared is great. I’ve always enjoyed Junkie XL’s work.
