Josh Brolin. However, in the upcoming second opus, all this will change…

“When the second film came out, he said, “I want you and Hans to collaborate on a song.” I sat for a month and a half, writing poems and sending them to Dennis and Hans. And Hans was on vacation, so he’d send me pictures of icebergs or sunsets, and I’d say, “Dude, I need to work on a song, send me the music for the song.””

“So he sent me music periodically and they were bad and became so regular that I wondered if Hans was right for this film“, he joked. “And then I saw the movie and the lyrics are good, and the music is brilliant, genius!“It’s promising.
