MTV News has reported that Mark Hoppus of Blink 182 and Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy have collaborated on a track for the soundtrack of Tim Burton’s upcoming film Alice In Wonderland.  Says Wentz:

We did a song for ‘Alice in Wonderland,’ [and we] might do a few more depending on when [Mark] goes in with Blink. [It] sounds nothing like Blink or Fall Out Boy. Mark understands songwriting on a completely different level. It’s awesome to have a chance to sit in a room with him and watch him work out a melody.

No official announcement has been made yet on the official tracklist or release date of the soundtrack.
