Arcade Fire are reportedly recording the soundtrack to director Richard Kelly’s next movie, titled “The Box” and intended for release later this year. The movie stars Cameron Diaz and James Marsden.
Producer Markus Dravs, who most recently worked on Coldplay’s new album, is working with the band on the soundtrack.
