Alex Turner, is composing a movie score with James Ford one half of Simian Mobile Disco and producer for bands including Florence & the Machine, Peaches and Klaxons. It won't be the first time the two have collaborated Ford has produced albums for the Arctic Monkeys and Turner's side project The Last Shadow Puppets.
The film, called Submarine, is being helmed by Richard Ayoade best known as the bespectacled Maurice Moss from the tv series The IT Crowd, and is based on the 2009 novel of the same name by Welsh writer Joe Dunthorne. The book has been compared to Martin Amis' The Rachel Papers and Salinger's Catcher In The Rye.
Turner's adept knack for slinging sharply observed, decisively British narratives and street poet lyrics ("oh the boy's a slag, the best you ever had") provides that mix of self deprecating sarcasm and tenderness that is perfectly suited to a coming of age tale for an overcast setting.
