He used to work with [director] Tim Miller at Blur Studios. With Tim and Jeff, at that time, I did Deadpool And after that Terminator: Dark Fate and then, that was the first time Sound and then the second Sound and now it is tuesday Sound . This is a really interesting movie. It’s really engaging.”

“I have two young boys, and it’s amazing for a composer when you can see a film that you actually worked on and they’re so excited about it. They’ve seen the first part and the second part maybe 20, 30, 40 times...So I really look forward to them seeing this movie later this year.”
