Brian Eno will compose the soundtrack to the new Peter Jackson film, 'The Lovely Bones'.

The film is based on the book of the same name by Alice Sebold, and tells the story of a young girl who is raped and murdered, who watches her family from Heaven as they struggle through their grief.

Eno most recently released an album with David Byrne entitled 'Everything That Happens Will Happen Today', and has also produced some of U2's forthcoming new album.

The Lovely Bones is set for release in December 2009.
