Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy and Mark Hoppus from Blink 182, have teamed up for a musical collaboration that will end up featuring on the soundtrack for Tim Burton’s “Alice In Wonderland.”
“We did a song for ‘Alice in Wonderland,'” Wentz explains. “[We] might do a few more depending on when [Mark] goes in with Blink. [It] sounds nothing like Blink or Fall Out Boy. Mark understands songwriting on a completely different level. It’s awesome to have a chance to sit in a room with him and watch him work out a melody.”
Pop-punkers All Time Low were previously also revealed as contributors of original music to the film’s soundtrack. But with Danny Elfman on board as the film’s scorer, does this mean these songs will only feature on some sort of complementing ‘Inspired By’ soundtrack? God, we hope so.
Meanwhile, a new image of Johnny Depp’s potential children’s-dream-haunting Mad Hatter has also debuted. Of the look, Depp explained that the hatter “was poisoned — very, very poisoned. And I think it just took affect in all his nerves. It was coming out through his hair and through his fingernails, through his eyes.” The poison Depp refers to is that of the mercury kind which was used in the manufacture of felt, often leading to the actual poisoning of hatters in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The film hits theaters March 5th.
