60s pop star turned darling of the avant garde Scott Walker has joined with Australian pop singer-songwriter Sia to score Vox Lux, the forthcoming second feature by director Brady Corbet, starring Natalie Portman.
Vox Lux stars Portman as a pop singer who is negotiating chaos in her personal life, and co-stars Jude Law as her manager.
Sia was already announced for Vox Lux; Mica Levi, who was Oscar-nominated for her score to Portman’s film Jackie, was originally rumoured to be writing the score.
It marks the second time Corbet and Walker have worked together, after Walker penned the tense, oppressive score for Corbet’s debut film, The Childhood of a Leader.
