Back in December, we brought you this scoop about Radiohead possibly doing the score to Richard Linklater's A SCANNER DARKLY. Afterwards I received a lot of e-mails saying, "It's never gonna happen!" or "Radiohead is too busy working on their next album!" Well nanny-nanny-boo-boo to you. Entertainment Weekly confirms today that Radiohead is indeed doing the score for A SCANNER DARKLY. Warner Independent confirmed to EW that Radiohead would provide original music and the score to the film, which is set for release on July 7. While it isn't the first time that Radiohead has contributed music to a film (Baz Luhrmann's abhorrent ROMEO AND JULIET featured "Exit Music (For A Film)") it would be the first time they composed an original score for a film. No telling yet if Radiohead will use any of the music they had already been working on for their forthcoming album. Coincidentally Radiohead is set to tour this summer with Beck, who just so happens to be doing his first original score for a film on NACHO LIBRE.

Glad to see Beck's continuing with that Mexican theme. :roll:

WTF?

Richard Linklater + Radiohead = awesomeness.

Since I saw the preview for this, it's pretty much the only movie i've been looking forward to the most.

BeeOK: Got PM. Answer it or else ... :-)

Actually, it was "Talk Show Host," though I think "Exit Music" was written for the movie.

Looks like they're not writing a new score: http://www.ateaseweb.com/news/archive/2 ... r_dark.php

A day after telling EW that Radiohead would be scoring A Scanner Darkly, director Richard Linklater's film adaptation of the Philip K. Dick sci-fi novel, Warner Independent Pictures is singing a slightly different tune. Instead of a full-blown original score, the film will feature music by Radiohead, including a brand-new track from lead singer Thom Yorke's upcoming solo release. Warner Independent is still working out what music will make the cut, and couldn't say if the tracks would be all new or a mix of old and new.

Why is Thom Yorke doing a solo album? This makes me afraid.

jonny greenwood did one, so why can't thom do one? *shrug*

although i MUCH rather have a new radiohead album. good lord i'm jonesing.

well Johnny did one because he is slightly more creatively limited in Radiohead by being a non-singing guitarist. But why the fuck is Thom doing a solo album?

Like John Popper before him, lead singer just for some reason, need to make a solo record chock full of guest artists.

This is kind of lame. I mean sure it could foreshadow some of the tunes on the new album, but this rumor has been around for months. I'll believe it when it happens.

here we go again with the John Popper/Thom Yorke comparisons.
