The pairing of Nick Cave and British writer Warren Ellis are back for another movie soundtrack, this time a crime drama starring Daniel Craig and Halle Berry, focusing on the L.A. Riots surrounding the infamous Rodney King Trial in 1992.
As Pitchfork reports, Kings will detail the lives of a foster family in South Central L.A. who are forced to live through the atmosphere of violence, anger and fear that gripped the city at the time, and is set to make its debut in September at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The duo have most recently scored the Brad Pitt-starring War Machine, and have been collaborating on soundtracks for years, including 2016’s Hell or High Water and the 2014 Viggo Mortensen flick Far From Men.
Nick Cave was also recently involved in an adorable PETA campaign with Iggy Pop, with his track ‘Breathless’ providing the perfect backing to a cartoon depiction of the always-shirtless Iggy Pop.
If you’re looking for something else Cave-related to watch until then, his recent doco One More Time With Feeling was released earlier this year, and deals with the creation of that album in the wake of the death of Cave’s son, providing an incredibly candid glimpse into not only Cave’s recording process, but also the man himself.
Anything involving Nick Cave is always going to be an incredible, enthralling watch from start to finish
