Queens Of The Stone Age mastermind Josh Homme has scored the upcoming German film, ‘In The Fade‘. If the title for the film seems familiar, it’s because it borrowed it from a song on Queens Of The Stone Age‘s 2000 album, “Rated R“. The film stars Diane Kruger (‘Inglourious Basterds‘, ‘National Treasure‘) and finds her going after a neo-nazi group that murdered her husband and son. Director Fatin Akin spoke to Variety of Homme‘s involvement:
“When I was writing this, I was listening to a lot of music by Queens Of The Stone Age. I had the feeling that this could be the music that the character was listening to, It has a self-destructive attitude and somehow the film is about self-destruction. I sent him a very early version of the film. He immediately called back saying he loved it and was blown away and that he would like to put his hands on it. We phoned maybe four or five times, sent 10 emails back and forth and then I had the music. It was a very uncomplicated, fast and very clean process of working.”
