The concept behind this summer’s Danger Mouse album Rome was a neat one, especially for Collider readers. Danger Mouse and Italian composer Daniele Luppi were inspired by the music from spaghetti westerns. They recorded the album using vintage equipment, often with musicians from the era who worked on spaghetti western soundtracks. The process is about to come full circle, as Rome will soon be turned into a movie. First, though, things will take a sharp left into a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Music video director Chris Milk will helm the project, based on the Alden Bell novel The Reapers Are the Angels. The story centers on a young girl who “can’t remember a time before the zombies”; she struggles to survive as she wanders the desolate landscape, plagued by inner turmoil.
VRFocus- Film production and development company, Annapurna Pictures recently created a virtual reality (VR) division in partnership with VRSE.farm. Megan Ellison, the company’s founder has already partnered with artist Chris Milk, renowned for his music videos from large artists like U2, Audioslave and Kanye West to experiment with VR.

You need someone to play vulnerable and grizzled? Call up Nick Nolte. At 71, the actor's voice has never been more gravelly, nor his face more worn and he's been using it to great effect. He was outstanding in last year's unfairly slept on "Warrior" and in many ways, he was emotional heartbeat of Micheal Mann's canceled HBO series "Luck." He's been working at a clip lately, bagging supporting roles in Robert Redford's "The Company You Keep," "Gangster Squad" and "Parker" but now he's going to take the lead.
I've always been a fan of Nick Nolte even when he was younger but I saw some of his best work in Warrior. He should have won that Oscar.
