The original music is both luminous and ominous with rich. Its organically inspired flourishes inhabit a pronounced place in the folk horror film. Lakeshore Records will also release the album digitally in the Americas and Invada Records in the rest of the world. The NEON film, written and directed by Ben Wheatley, and produced by his ROOK FILMS production company, will also hit be released in U.S. theaters on April 16 and also in the UK in June. The rest of the world’s dates will be determined.
In the Earth Synopsis:
As the world searches for a cure to a disastrous virus, a scientist and also a park scout venture deep in the forest for a routine equipment run. Through the night, their journey becomes a terrifying voyage through the heart of darkness, the forest also coming to life around them.
Joel Fry stars in In the Earth with Ellora Torchia, Hayley Squires, Reece Shearsmith, John Hollingworth, and also Mark Monero.
Wheatley notes: “It’s always a treat working with Clint. In The Earth is our fourth soundtrack together and the most experimental. I often write scripts with actors in mind but this was the first script that was written with the music specifically in mind. From the start I knew I wanted a Soundtrack that would be both Diagetic and Non Diagetic. That would allow Clint to stretch his legs sonically and have the score front and foremost. This film is partially a concert movie, with Clint being the sound of Doctor Wendle’s experiments. This is also pure Mansell sound from his studio. There’s little arranging in the traditional sense. No orchestra to interpret it. This is from his hands. I love this score. Play it LOUD.”
