Skrillex (also known as Sonny Moore) and Cliff Martinez are co-scoring the upcoming comedy romance Spring Breakers. The film is written and directed by Harmony Korine and stars James Franco, Gucci Mane, Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine. The movie centers around four college girls whose Florida spring break gets completely out of control after an encounter with a rapper called “Alien”. Chris Hanley (American Psycho, The Virgin Suicides), Jordan Gertner, Charles-Marie Anthonioz and David Zander are producing the project Muse Productions. The project marks the film first scoring assignment for electronic music producer and singer-songwriter Skrillex who has received three Grammy Awards this year. Spring Breakers was shot earlier this year in Florida and is currently in post-production. A release in early 2013 is expected.
As previously reported, Martinez also has Robert Redford’s The Company You Keep and Nicolas Winding-Refn’s Only God Forgives, as well as the indie drama Arbitrage coming up.
