Nick Cave and Warren Ellis Will Score Netflix’s War Machine

Today, Pitchfork reports that Nick Cave and Warren Ellis (of the Bad Seeds and Grinderman) will compose the score for Netflix’s forthcoming feature film War Machine. The project, directed by David Michod, will also feature Michod and Jake Jackson on the soundtrack.

Cave and Elllis have co-scored quite a few projects together, including 2016’s Hell or High Water, 2015’s Far From Men, 2012’s Lawless and 2009’s The Road.

War Machine, coming to Netflix on May 26, looks to be a pretty promising addition to your summer Netflix queue: It’s based on journalist Michael Hastings’ 2012 expose The Operators, and the film boasts a pretty terrific cast, including Brad Pitt, Topher Grace, Emory Cohen, Tilda Swinton, Anthony Michael Hall and Ben Kingsley.
