Tom Holkenborg (aka Junkie XL) has been scoring films for almost 20 years, although he’s now entered the major leagues with films like MAD MAX: FURY ROAD and BATMAN V SUPERMAN under his belt. You may or may not have already been aware that he scored the upcoming DEADPOOL flick, and if you’d like to get a taste of how it goes down, he’s uploaded the track Maximum Effort to Soundcloud. Give it a listen!
Holkenborg’s music is kind of hit or miss for me. I think it worked wonders for FURY ROAD, helping to drive the pace and intensity, but this track doesn’t do too much for me. Then again, I wouldn’t exactly expect a movie like DEADPOOL to have one of my favorite scores of the year. In any case, I’m sure it’ll get the job done!
DEADPOOL arrives in theaters on February 12, 2016.
