Update:
We called it! Jihae sings a Vera Lynn song in the trailer!

I had an idle thought while listening to some Jihae (as you do when you know she's playing Anna Fang in Mortal Engines) that she should probably do a theme song for Mortal Engines as most Peter Jackson productions seem to tack on a song in the credits - one or two may have even won Oscars!
So I posted this thought on twitter:
Notice anything?
That's right Jihae herself liked it. Well, if she's managing the account herself she did.
Either way, is this a subtle confirmation that yes, Jihae is involved in some capacity on the soundtrack?
It really should be a no brainer - Anna Fang is going to be a HUGELY POPULAR character as along with Hester, she's a bit of a book readers fan favorite, so why not have the actress who is already an accomplished singer, belt out a tune?
And this gets us wondering - who is composing the music for the movie? An old favourite of Peter's or someone new?
So who do I collect on my bet with?
We have a hunch Jihae is singing the Mortal Engines theme song
