Eddie Vedder has reportedly written several original songs for a film directed by Sean Penn that is due out this fall.
The Pearl Jam frontman wrote almost an entire album’s worth of songs for ‘Into The Wild’, which also features contributions from Academy Award-winning composer Gustavo Santaolla (Brokeback Mountain, Babel), reports the Playlist.
