The two most iconic things about Dario Argento’s Suspiria are probably the lighting and the score. We already know that Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino is going dark rather than bright and colorful, but what about the score for his upcoming remake? The original film was scored by Goblin, and we’ve just learned that Radiohead’s Thom Yorke is on board for the remake!
Variety reports today that Yorke will compose the score for Guadagnino’s Suspiria, which recently completed production. This will be the first time Yorke has ever scored a feature.
Said Guadagnino:
[Working with Thom Yorke was] a dream come true. Our goal is to make a movie that will be a disturbing and transforming experience: for this ambition, we could not find a better partner than Thom.
Dakota Johnson, Chloe Grace-Moretz, Tilda Swinton and Mia Goth star. Jessica Harper, who played Suzy Bannion in the original film, will be popping up for a cameo appearance.
In Suspiria:
A young American ballet dancer travels to a prestigious dance academy in Europe, only to discover it is something far more sinister and supernatural. She becomes increasingly terrified after a series of gruesome murders ensue and she slowly unravels the dark history of the academy.
David Kajganich wrote the film, co-financed by Amazon Studios and K Period Media.
