Renowned video game composer Akira Yamaoka, who is widely recognized for his work on the Silent Hill franchise, has tweeted that he will be writing a song for the upcoming Dario Argento film The Sandman, which is currently raising funds via Indiegogo. The composer has not given any other details, aside from saying that he’s, “So excited!”
The Sandman‘s synopsis reads:
Our film tells the story of Nathan, a young student in the city who struggles to forget his childhood trauma at the hands of the serial killer dubbed “The Sandman”: a masked killer who murders his victims with a lethally jagged melon spoon (yes, you read that right!), and claims their eyes as trophies. Nathan killed The Sandman years ago, on Christmas Eve, after he witnessed the murder of his mother, and the nightmare seems to be buried in the past … until he sees the beautiful woman who lives in the apartment across the way dying at the hands of that very same masked killer. This brutal murder plunges Nathan into an odyssey into the night country of his past, his dreams…and the buried secrets of… you guessed it!… The Sandman, who’s on the hunt again.
