Radiohead Leave Ed Norton in Awe With 'Stone' Score

The future of Radiohead's forthcoming album may be uncertain, but the group's involvement with the atmospheric score of the forthcoming Robert De Niro and Ed Norton prison film 'Stone' was made clear this week when Norton spoke to attendees at an L.A. screening.

"I'm friends with the guys in Radiohead," Norton told the audience during a post-screening Q&A sponsored by Variety. "And Johnny Greenwood, who did the incredible score for Paul Anderson's 'There Will Be Blood,' met me in London a while back when [director] John [Curran] and I were developing the script."

"So given the spiritual ties in this film, I started talking to [Greenwood] about this idea: 'What would you use to record this divine-like tuning sound?'," the actor explained. "And he and Thom [Yorke] had been playing a lot of weird ambient stuff at the time and so, amazingly, they just unloaded tons and tons of files to us of these sound experiments that they had been doing. We just listened to them in awe."

The Detroit-set prison drama, which also stars Milla Jovovich and Frances Conroy, opens on Oct. 8.
