Los Angeles, July 1, 2015
– FOX International Studios (FIS) today announced that Atticus Ross,
Grammy, Golden Globe and Academy Award-winning composer, producer and
electronic musician
is on board to score Robert Kirkman’s upcoming exorcism drama, Outcast,
produced for Cinemax by FOX International Studios (FIS). This marks
Ross’ television series score debut.
Ross’ acclaimed film work includes the
score for David Fincher’s The Social Network, which earned him the Oscar
and the Golden Globe, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Gone Girl
with long-time collaborator Trent Reznor. He
also composed the music for Hughes Brothers’ The Book of Eli, Bill
Pohlad’s Love & Mercy and Michael Mann’s Blackhat among others. Ross
first garnered attention in the mid-1990’s as a programmer for Tim
Simeon’s Bomb the Bass, and later for co-producing and
programming five Nine Inch Nails albums with Reznor: With Teeth, Year
Zero, The Slip, the instrumental Ghosts I-IV and Hesitation Marks.
“Who can’t recall the shrieking violins
in the Psycho shower scene or the repetitious two-notes that play before
a shark attack in Jaws?” said Kirkman. “A haunting and epic score is
critical in the telling of horror on any screen,
and we’re privileged to have Atticus on board to help illustrate Kyle
Barnes’ story.”
“I'm excited to be working with Robert
Kirkman and the whole Outcast team. Hopefully we'll be able provide
sonic justice for Robert's depraved and brilliant vision.” said Ross.
“Outcast is an incredibly special series
that requires a measured and distinctive sound. Atticus’ musical genius
will take the show to a whole new level,” added Sharon Tal Yguado, Head
of FOX International Studios.

Outcast, the TV adaptation of
Kirkman/Skybound’s comic book by the same name, was developed by FIS and

Channels (FIC) outside the US earlier this year. The
