Radiohead Worked On Music For New Ed Norton/Robert De Niro Movie

The wait for that new Radiohead album seems to be growing ever longer, and one likely reason for the long silence is all the other projects the band members are involved in. The latest of these involves writing music for a new movie starring Ed Norton and Robert De Niro, which is titled Stone.

“I'm friends with the guys in Radiohead, and Jonny Greenwood, who did the incredible score for Paul Anderson's There Will Be Blood, met me in London a while back when John (Curran, director) and I were developing the script," Norton said in an interview for Variety.

"So given the spiritual ties in this film, I started talking to him about this idea: 'What would you use to record this divine-like tuning sound?' And he and Thom had been playing a lot of weird ambient stuff at the time and so, amazingly, they just unloaded tons and tons of files to us of these sound experiments that they had been doing.”

It's not clear yet whether a soundtrack album bearing these tracks will be issued for the movie, but with Stone set for release on Oct. 8 in the U.S, it's likely we'll find out sooner rather than later.
