Jarvis pens new songs for Wes Anderson movie

jarvis cocker connect

Jarvis Cocker is working on new songs for the next film by celebrated director Wes Anderson, reports NME.com.

Anderson is working on an adaptation of Roald Dahl's children's favourite Fantastic Mr Fox, which oddly enough I actually read again for the first time in about 20 years the other week. In about five minutes. Well, it is a kid's book.

Bulldozers, tunnels, badgers, cider: brilliant.

Cocker commented to Time Out Chicago:

"I’ve been doing some stuff for a children’s film Wes Anderson is doing, an animated feature. I’ve written three, four songs, and some of that might become bits of the score."

Anderson's last film, The Darjeeling Limited, was apparently pretty good. I'm up to speed on Mr Fox, but am yet to see this particular flick. Any good?

  • <£ Wes Anderson

    This looks great!

  • Rushmore

    is the BEST!

  • why don't you want ox. eagle. lion. man. at in the city?!

    the darjeeling limited was pretty good, 8/10

    • Yeah, it was a lot of fun

      I'd be a little more generous, maybe an 8.5

      • Rushmore is brilliant

        as is The Royal Tenenbaums.

        I'm pretty damned excited about this news

  • wow

    this is going to be fun

  • This is very exciting, but

    does it also mean that he's not collaborating with Mark Mothersbaugh at all now? Wes Anderson films don't even seem like Wes Anderson films without Mark Mothersbaugh scores behind them. :(

    I'm all for change, and everything, BUT SERIOUSLY WES. Stop fannying about and make another Rushmore/Royal Tenenbaums/Life Aquatic plz ok? His films were so definitive until The Darjeeling Limited and I really don't condone him experimenting like this. DON'T BREAK WHAT INT BROKED, KNOW WHAT I MEANS?

    p.s. ilu forever max fischer bb.

      Darljeeling Ltd is an amazing movie, his best I would say and I like his earlier ones a lot.. and also Wes Anderson does Fantastic Mr. Fox : - ) : - ) all smiles for me!

    • Fear not

      Mark Mothersbaugh is on board for this one too. Its too good a partnership to break up it seems.

  • yes!

    The Darjeeling Ltd is great. What a soundtrack. Funny as hell...actually made me want to go to India.

    Anyone been? anyone want to go???

    • I have been

      But only to one of the southern states, no where near the real big cities.

      Can't recommend it enough. Had a great time and the locals were really lovely by and large.

  • love jarvis

    more please!
