After an eight year sabbatical, coinciding with the release of their new album Wonky, Orbital lend their signature machine-made symphonies to the soundtrack of PUSHER, the new adaptation of Nicholas Winding Refn's cult classic.
'Working on PUSHER was a great opportunity to create a score that draws on both moody thriller styles and dance music in equal measures.
Full of anthemic film noir moments. Brilliant.'
Paul Hartnoll, ORBITAL
The much anticipated PUSHER, from director Luis Prieto and released by Vertigo Films, boasts a best-of-British cast with star performances from iconic international supermodel and actress Agyness Deyn, Brit superstar Richard Coyle (W.E., Prince of Persia), Bronson Webb ('The Tudors', 'Robin Hood', Dead Man Running) and Paul Kaye (It's All Gone Pete Tong, Match Point) in a reimagining of Nicholas Winding Refn's cult classic of the same name.
An East London dealer (Richard Coyle) grows increasingly desperate after a botched get rich quick scam leaves him with a large debt to repay to a ruthless drug lord.
Fast-paced, visually striking, witty and with some of Britain's finest acting talents, PUSHER will have you gripped from beginning to end.
Nicolas Winding Refn takes on the role of Executive Producer, with Rupert Preston from Vertigo Films and Christopher Simons and Felix Vossen from Embargo Films producing.
To celebrate the release of Wonky, Orbital's first studio album since Blue Album (2003), Orbital will be playing a 6-date UK tour commencing in April 2012.
