Mad Max: Fury Roadbrought the work of electronic music veteran Junkie XL, AKATom Holkenborg, to the attention of a lot of people, and Holkenborg has since booked a variety of gigs scoring high-profile movies.
The musician, who has made plenty of records under his moniker over the years, didn’t start as a film composer until 2014, but he has a bit of a history adding additional music to films and scoring video games likeNeed for Speed; his original tracks have been used in movies likeBladeandGinger Snaps, as well.
But now he’s in the big leagues, and his first big post-Mad Maxgig,Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, has seemingly secured him an equally massive project:Justice League.

During our recent set visit,we found outthat Junkie XL will indeed be providing the score toZack Snyder’s next grim-as-fuck epic, which is kind of a big deal.
Though I can’t say I remember much about what anyone talks about inBatman v Superman, I most certainly remember the noise that accompanied and occasionally overwhelmed the dialogue.
That film, for me, is all about noise: metal breaking and bending, machines powering up and malfunctioning, walls demolished and hammered against, buildings being incinerated and collapsing, and so on and so forth.

In a way, Junkie XL was, for me, the most memorable element of the entireBatman v Supermanproduction.
