When composer Bobby Krlic joined director Justin Tipping to score HIM<\/a>, there was one question: What does power sound like? Together, they factored in the use of the term \u201chim\u201d and its omnipresence in Hip-Hop and sports culture. As described by Tipping in the exclusive clip above, the film is \u201cmusical wall to wall.\u201d<\/p>\n Outside of music itself, Krlic\u2014also known by his stage name \u201cThe Haxan Cloak\u2014made use of unconventional sounds to amplify the intense thriller. As explained in the behind-the-scenes dive, the BAFTA Award-winning composer imagined the sound in images, sampled MRI sounds, and composed the actual score for a trap beat.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I composed the score, we kept talking about the idea of this being Cameron\u2019s (Tyriq Withers) childhood dream, to be the best on the planet, but then how could we musically twist and subvert that dream?\u201d he detailed. \u201cI thought to myself, this is the best thing I\u2019ve ever done.\u201d<\/p>\n From Oscar-winning Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw Productions<\/a>, Tyriq Withers stars as Cameron Cade, a rising-star quarterback who has devoted his life and identity to football. The night before a professional football player\u2019s annual scouting Combine, he is attacked by an unhinged fan and suffers a potentially career-ending brain trauma.<\/p>\n With Marlon Wayans leading as his hero, Isaiah White, a legendary eight-time Championship quarterback and cultural megastar, things take a dark turn and push the athlete to his limits.<\/p>\n The additional cast <\/a>includes Julia Fox, Tim Heidecker, and Jim Jefferies. MMA heavyweight fighter Maurice Greene and Hip-Hop phenoms Guapdad 4000 and Grammy nominee Tierra Whack make their feature film debuts.<\/p>\n HIM is set to release in theaters on Sept. 19, 2025.
