Radiohead Scores There Will Be Blood

.

Well, sorta. Jonny Greenwood, the guitarist for Radiohead, scored the music for PT Anderson's new film, There Will Be Blood. From atease:

"Jonny Greenwood has scored the music for the upcoming Paul Thomas Anderson’s movie ‘There Will Be Blood’. The movie will be out in theatres on December 26th 2007.

Director P.T. Anderson is known as a Radiohead fan. And years ago (Los Angeles, 2002) Radiohead attended a private screening of Anderson’s last film ‘Punch Drunk Love’. Who knows if the collaboration already started there. Anderson recommended the Bodysong documentary, which also featured Jonny Greenwood’s score: “I remember seeing Bodysong and feeling like I was in a trance. A wonderful collection of the two simple things a film has to work with: pictures and music.”

Bodysong is pretty terrific, and Jonny's tremendously talented, and I think y'all know how much I love PT Anderson, so I can't wait to hear what they come up with together. Will it be, perchance, music to my ears? Agh, couldn't help myself, sorry.

ETA Oops, I meant to mention that atease also says that Radiohead's next album is 100% finished, in the can, done, but they aren't sure what they're doing with it yet since they're between record deals. I hate this world.
