Eccentric multi-instrumentalist Mike Patton has found his next project, and once again, it’s a film. Writer and director Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine) has tapped the former Faith No More frontman to score his latest film, The Place Beyond the Pines. Set for release later this year, the film stars Ryan Gosling as a motorcycle stunt rider, who considers turning to crime in order to provide for his family. Bradley Cooper and Eva Mendes also star.
If you’re familiar with Patton, you’ll know he’s well versed in scoring. His past work includes the recent Italian drama A Solitude of Prime Numbers and the Jason Statham action vehicle Crank 2: High Voltage. According to a press release, Patton is also at work on a new Tomahawk album, due for late summer.
