Schizoid Man Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 ...surely the greatest match up ever...One of my favourite, most genuinely disturbing books of all time (read it I beg you) that I'd frequently curl up with with Radiohead's Amnesiac and Kid A going in the background, now turned into a movie with the most incredible cel-shaded yet somehow photoreal look going on ever, the only Phillip K. Dick adaptation to be approved by his family... And after swiftly denied rumours going round that Radiohead had been approached to do the score after test audiences said the initial, music was a letdown, W.B. have confirmed it, and Radiohead are doing it as well as their 7th album. Now people who have been reading their Dead Air Space blog will make sense of Thom's recent message. What could possible go wrong..? Oh right, Keanu Reeves , pah, nothings perfect. July 7th people, I expect awesomeness. Discuss.
Dan_Dare Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 so whats it about? latter day radiohead score sounds amazing but whats the film supposed to involve?
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 I might try and hunt this book down. I need a new book to read, just finished 1984 last night. Also hyped up for the new Radiohead album. Loving the true love waits sig as well.
gaggle64 Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 I'm not a huge Radiohead fan, but Terry Gilliam on the other hand... now there's a guarantee of quality. Looking forward to this now. All hail the big TG. :bowdown: :bowdown:
Schizoid Man Posted March 18, 2006 Author Posted March 18, 2006 Indeed Fierce Link. The book is set 6 years in the future, (although the future Dick imagined was a little more likely 20 or so years ago when he wrote it) and concerns an illegal drug, Substance D, that separates the two brain hemispheres and causes irreversible brain damage. Etc....Aintitcool.com has got a better synopsis. I dunno if Radiohead'll do compose the whole soundtrack or chuck in some newies off of LP7 but it'll sure make for an awesome film/music marriage.
AshMat Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 My favourite radiohead song was Idioteque. This book sounds good, might read it sometime.
Wesley Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Radiohead are my favourite band and any new material is welcomed with open arms!
Schizoid Man Posted March 19, 2006 Author Posted March 19, 2006 Don't I know it Also, I can't be fucked for another thread but Muse have a new album ready for May 19th or so I heard. NME's preview of it was shit, but NME are shit.
Dan_Dare Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 oh new muse. cool. not that i give much of a shit, but what did nme say?
Schizoid Man Posted March 20, 2006 Author Posted March 20, 2006 Erm..there were some pretty embarassingly daft song titles and snippets of lyrics (never mind matt bellamy's never been the best lyricist), exciting talk of a song being the Stroke's 12:51(?)'s warped cousing and another song having Ennio Morricone style choir work, less exciting talk of a romantic ballady typa song. Matt said something about the Franz alternative guitar + disco sound beeing cool. Some weird stuff about the 'pressures' of partying in France. I'd love a more jazz inspired direction frankly but meh. Also, exclusive announcement from Radiohead next week apparently.
