In a weird way Clint Mansell has become the next Danny Elfman, a key figure in a cult band that has gone on to become one of the most sought after film score artists in the world with strong associations to a small cadre of directors. Elfman rose out of Oingo Boingo, Mansell out of industrial tinged act Pop Will Eat Itself. Elfman will always be linked to Tim Burton, Mansell to Darren Aronofsky.
And now Mansell will be plying his trade to the English language debut of Oldboy director Park Chan-wook, the Requiem For A Dream and Black Swan composer tapped to score Park's Stoker. Mansell is one of he absolute best in the game right now and his pairing with Park makes all kinds of sense. This is very good news indeed.
