Portishead multi-instrumentalist/founder Geoff Barrow will once again team up with composer Ben Salisbury to score the upcoming sci-fi thriller Ex-Machina, which is written and directed by Alex Garland (28 Days Later). The film is expected to appear at festivals this summer and then be released early next year.
The IMDb synopsis reads:
Caleb, a 24 year old coder at the world’s largest internet company, wins a competition to spend a week at a private mountain retreat belonging to Nathan, the reclusive CEO of the company. But when Caleb arrives at the remote location he finds that he will have to participate in a strange and fascinating experiment in which he must interact with the world’s first true artificial intelligence, housed in the body of a beautiful robot girl.
Salisbury and Barrow worked together previously on Drokk: Music Inspired By Mega-City One, which was originally meant to be the score to the 2012 film starring Karl Urban (you can read more about it here).
