Idles frontman Joe Talbot wants to make a film.<\/p>\n
After scoring the new Darren Aronofsky crime thriller Caught Stealing – which stars Austin Butler, Zo\u00eb Kravitz, Regina King, Matt Smith, and Bad Bunny – the singer for the British post-punk band fancies releasing his own blockbuster.<\/p>\n
Speaking to GRAMMY.com, he said of the “once-in-a-life-time” collaboration with one of his favourite filmmakers: “I wrote all the songs based off the script. I don\u2019t know how any other band would\u2019ve done it \u2014 it doesn\u2019t really matter \u2014 but for us, it was a huge opportunity to do something creative for someone we love creatively.<\/p>\n
“I set myself new challenges. I wrote nine songs for the film, and four were included. I eventually want to make a film myself \u2014 I studied film, I like writing dialogue and things like that \u2014 so I think really visually when I\u2019m songwriting. As I read the script, I pictured the pace in my head, and from that, got a sense of the songs\u2019 rhythm and tone. I also started referencing films that felt similar just from reading it.”<\/p>\n
Heaping praise on Aronofsky, Talbot, 41, added: “It was a huge gift. There are maybe one or two other directors who would be as much of a dream to work with, but Darren is in my top three \u2014 maybe my favourite. He\u2019s a very smart man and understood that we were perfect for the job. He\u2019s a fan of us, but more than that, filmically and creatively it works really well \u2014 there\u2019s humour, there\u2019s violence, and there\u2019s a sense of subversive friction and disdain for fascism. And we love cats.”<\/p>\n
The band’s contributions included Rabbit Run and a cover of The Clash\u2019s version of Police and Thieves.<\/p>\n
Aronofsky hailed Idles as the “orchestra” of the film, comparing their work to Queen\u2019s contributions to Flash Gordon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
