IT’S been revealed that Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme is set to to score new film ‘In The Fade.’

Largely inspired by the director’s love of the band and even named after a track from their seminal Rated R, the new feature length production from Fatin Akin will see Diane Kruger (Inglorious Basterds, Troy, The Bridge) star as a woman who sets out to gain retribution on a neo-nazi group that were responsible for her husband and son’s murders.

Speaking as to how the desert rock pioneer came to be involved in the project, she stated that “”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.”

Outwith this announcement, Homme has spoken candidly about the new album and provided a sought after insight into what we’re likely to hear when it emerges:

“I’ve always been a believer that right now is all you’ll ever get. In that respect, I don’t get too nostalgic; I think the most difficult thing is to make your last record your best record. And the only way to do that is to concentrate on the one that you’re on and make it full of risk and be vulnerable and take a chance. At the end of the day, this is just a musical way to explain a lifetime.” The most important record I’m making is the one I’m working on. For the lack of better term, I bet my life on it. If you don’t risk anything, you’re not gonna get anything. I don’t wanna copy myself, I just wanna take another chance at it; it keeps it always exciting that way. The new record is more like — you’re sort of like a panther in the trees leaping out of the darkness. We’re ready to pounce, everyone is really ready to go. I feel like we’re just leaning on the gate waiting for someone to open that sucker up so we can move. I think the record feels that way too — it feels uptempo. While last thing […Like Clockwork] was about making it through, this time we’ve made it through the other side and we’re ready to roll.”
