Sigur Ros Score Movie

2009-11-23 by Prophet178 | 24 Comments
Seven Sigur Ros tracks and one Jonsi and Alex track have been used in the British film "The Boys Are Back," comprising the entire score for the movie. Director Scott Hicks has said:

“initially, i used their songs as a temporary score, but it was working so perfectly that i decided to approach the band directly to see if we could licence the music. i was forewarned that they were extremely picky about what they would allow their music to be used for, but i went to iceland to screen for them and they simply loved the film.”

So are the seven tracks used new songs?

This is a good find by the way.

I figured some might be interested in the movie if Sigur Ros is involved in some way. Weird that it took this long for a director to use Sigur Ros as a muse for a film.

I always thought that if I were to make a movie I would want either Sigur Ros, M83, or Portishead to do the music.

looks like a bit too much of a melodrama for me, but Clive Owen definitely has the potential to a make it worth seeing.
