I didn't see a news post about this, so I wanted to give you guys a heads up in case anyone wasn't aware... I'm reviving my old username because I just had to share this with somebody.
Salma Hayek recently screened an early version of her pet project, based on "the Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran, at Cannes. It is an animated film and looks gorgeous.
Anyway, I was reading an article about the project when one of the animators commented that "the music is also going to be great on this film. Gabriel Yared wrote the score and there are songs by Damien Rice, Glen Hansard and Lisa Hannigan." Another animator commented that he animated to a rough track of one of Damien's songs and was looking forward to hearing the finished version.
Somebody also embedded (in the comments section of said article) an Arabic YouTube video about Hayek's project, and you can hear Damien singing in the opening seconds of the clip (which is what perked my ears to his involvement in the project in the first place!).

Hooray!
