Mike Patton Scoring Ryan Gosling Movie, ‘The Place Beyond The Pines’. Dude-Crush Gland ‘Splode.

Mike Patton is scoring a Ryan Gosling flick. This is going to push me into full, stark-raving dude-crush bliss. There’s a God, he knows who I am gay for, and he is pushing them together for my glory.

Indie Wire:

Today it’s been announced that Patton will score Cianfrance’s upcoming “The Place Beyond The Pines,” which should add an interesting texture to film already brimming with tension. Starring  Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, Rose Byrne, Eva Mendes, Ben Mendelsohn, Ray Liotta, Dane DeHaan, Max Martini  and  Emory Cohen  the story centers on Luke (Gosling), a motorcycle stunt rider who turns to robbing banks to support his son, but winds up crossing paths with a police officer-turned-politician (Cooper), kicking off a simmering generational feud that will also include their sons (Cohen and DeHaan) who are mixed up in a clash of their own. And now Patton will provide his always singular musical take on the proceedings.

Patton, who you’ve likely heard via his many musical projects including  Mr. Bungle, Faith No More  andTomahawk, is no stranger to film scores and is something of a movie buff. He provided the backing for “Crank 2: High Voltage” and the Italian film “A Solitude of Prime Numbers,” and released via his  Ipecac  label one of the best  Ennio Morricone  compilations around,  In Crime And Dissonance. And that’s not to mention of course,  Fantomas, his excellent project whose second album  The Director’s Cut  was an astounding collection of covers of horror theme music.

Hell yeah.
