Bono And The Edge To Score Pixar's Brave?

This could be intriguing.

According to Bleeding Cool (via The Playlist), both Bono and maybe even his right hand man, The Edge, are apparently writing some new tunes for Pixar’s upcoming film, the film formerly known as The Bear And The Bow, now called Brave.

While nothing is confirmed, or even close to it yet, this does seem like a possibility. The report says that Bono is working on a score for a Pixar film, that is most likely Brave, but with only Cars 2 really confirmed to be on the way out of the Pixar camp, it looks like Brave is most likely the film in question. The film follows a royal daughter who hopes to become a legendary archer, and one day unleashes a new terror amongst her kingdom, which she must stop.

The film is being directed by one of The Prince of Egypt helmers, Brenda Chapman, and is currently looking at a June 15th, 2012 release. Personally, not only am I a rather massive U2 fan, but the idea of the dynamic duo of Bono and Edge getting behind the music of a Pixar film just screams amazing. Hopefully this isn’t an unfounded rumor; as this would be too good of an idea to really waste.

Go see something good!

UPDATE: Pixar's BRAVE...

Late last week, sources reported that during an interview with ComingSoon, Pete Docter, director of Pixar's new film Up, hinted at a title of a film that no one had known about, Brave. Some people speculated that it may be an in title for an adaptation of The Brave Little Toaster, which Pixar head John Lasseter was originally working on before the film adaptation left his hands.

Well, The Pixar Blog has seemed to have cleared things up, and it was what many of us expected. Brave is simply an internal name for Pixar's Winter 2011 feature, The Bear and The Bow, from writer/director Brenda Chapman, who is most famous for doing the Prince of Egypt. Starring Reese Witherspoon, the film is considered Pixar's first fairy tale, and tells the story of Merida, a daughter of royalty who strives to make her name as a great archer. She is the "Brave" character hinted at in the in title.

“A clash of wills with her mother compels Merida to make a reckless choice, which unleashes unintended peril on her father’s kingdom and her mother’s life. Merida struggles with the unpredictable forces of nature, magic and a dark, ancient curse to set things right."

Well, that was a bit anticlimatic. But still, the film sounds interesting, and of course everyone should be looking forward to it, as it's a Pixar film, and their first fairy tale. What do you think about this project?
