Even though it was just this past January that Nick Cave announced he would be scoring a documentary about West Memphis Three (not to mention that 3D stop-motion Pinocchio project), the Grinder/Renaissance man already has a new project in the works, according to TwentyFourBit. Cave and frequent collaborator, Bad Seeds/Grinderman/Dirty Three multi-instrumentalist Warren Ellis, have contributed their prodigious talents to Australian director John Hillcoat’s film Lawelss. The cinematographic adaptation of Matt Bondurant’s prohibition-era novel The Wettest Country In the World is the third in a string of Hillcoat/Cave collaborations, including 2005′s The Proposition and Cormac McCarthy adaptation The Road in 2009.
Starring Gary Oldman, Shia LaBoeuf, and Guy Pearce, Lawless will hit theaters in the fall after premiering at Cannes in August. That gives you the spring and summer to catch up on Cave’s long, long list of film scores, not to mention his other side projects (including waiting for that rumored new Bad Seeds record). While you’re at it, check out a trailer for the film below.
