Mike Patton to Score 'Blue Valentine' Director's 'The Place Beyond The Pines'

Mike Patton (Faith No More, Tomahawk, Mr. Bungle) has been selected by writer/director Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine) to provide the score for The Place Beyond The Pines, which stars Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper and Eva Mendes.

Patton, who rose to prominence as a teenager as the front man for Faith No More and is known as one of music's most eclectic musicians, has done a series of scores over the past few years including the Italian drama The Solitude of Prime Numbers, Crank: High Voltage and the short film "A Perfect Place."

Mike Patton is also currently working on a new Tomahawk album with a projected late summer release date.
