Uhm, Avatar wasn't based on anything. And actually also the only film he directed after Titanic. At least, I wouldn't imagine he'd admit it if it was. But it is a lot like... https://www.slashfilm.com/lol-james-camerons-avatar-is-disneys-pochontas/ I'm pretty sure we, as an internet, agreed that it's straight-up Ferngully. Great film, fine score. Has a little bit of Horner going on. That settles it: Junkie XL for Aquatar, Astrotar, Ferngullytar, and Tartar Sauce.

Question off topic about Tom Holkenborg. How does he decide if he is going to be called Tom Holkenborg or Junkie XL when he gets attached to a movie? Why not pick one and stick with it. I did not know if this has been explained somewhere and I missed it.

Haven´t seen the film - but I discovered Holkenborg´s score. And I must say: I love it! Holkenborg started out, for my classicist taste, as a noise sampler, bombarding me with dissonance and computer tricks. But then he persuaded me with his THE DARK TOWER score and the fantastic main theme. I graduated to like and even love his TERMINATOR: DARK FATE score - and now I gave ALITA a chance and MORTAL ENGINES. And damn, he really can write great themes and seems to go much more orchestral than before. I expect to love even more of his scores in the future.

His first works are, to me, mix bag, i like 300 and BvS (is better than MoS), but hate Deadpool and Paranoia, such terrible work. But he start with Run All Night, Black Mass and Brimstone, specially this one, I start to like it more, even Tomb Raider, The Dark Tower, Mortal Engines and Alita, are amongst my most played albums of him. His last stuff: Terminator, Sonic and Scoob are all enjoyable and very interesting stuff. Can't wait for ZSJL and GvK.
