Wha--? Good idea or not?

Not particularly fond of Bono myself but I'm sure Pixar will/would use him in a context that fits well with the movie.

I have no idea, but no Pixar movie will ever be bad, so I'm sure this is okay.

That's sort of weird, I doubt it. Besides, they probably wouldn't be writing the music so early into production. I think Cars 2 would be more plausible.

If thats true thats certainly different. I'm not sure how much I'd want a complete Bono soundtrack (if thats what would happen) but thats still a long ways away and anything could change before then

He's a professional. Whatever he writes, it will be appropriate. It doesn't have to be a rock anthem.

A lot of people wondered what Annie Lenox was doing with a song In Return of the King. Turns out, it was a great piece of work.

I don't really know! Bono is really good but it's just hard to pick, Maybe Bono should just stick to maybe his band U2

Lennox is indeed a beautiful singer. However, if The Hobbit does ever make it to the big screen, I'm still hoping they'll use "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" by Leonard Nimoy as the end-credits song (seriously, I'll be disappointed if it doesn't show up somewhere). ;-D

On topic, I'm not a huge fan of U2, but I don't have any problem with this.

Well, he wrote the music to Spider-Man: The Musical, so he has the experience.

Hmm, well that's really random. I can't really hear his music used in a movie about ancient Scotland, but maybe it's one of those weird things that work?

First off, after reading the story and some comments at the link:

I thought it was said some time ago that Thomas Newman was doing the score for Brave (some of the comments at the link seem to think it's Randy Newman).

My guess is that Bono would be doing an end-credits song, like Peter Gabriel doing "Down to Earth" for Wall-E. (And, considering that Thomas Newman scored Wall-E, that would kind of make sense.)

Why does the article say "... most likely Brave"? Isn't Bono Irish?
