Two things writer/director Richard Kelly (Donnie Darko, Southland Tales) wants you to know:

1. He has nothing to do with that Donnie Darko sequel people have been talking about.

2. He is currently editing his new movie The Box, a thriller starring Cameron Diaz and James Marsden. "We're starting to work with a very famous band who is honoring us with being the first filmmakers they've ever scored a film with."

One thing Kelly doesn't want you to know:

1. Who that band is.

Well, thank goodness for the website of producer/engineer Markus Dravs, who has worked with Brian Eno, Coldplay, Björk, Depeche Mode, and others.

Under the heading "currently working on," it says, ".... having finished Coldplay's forthcoming album VivaLaVida - now off to Canada to work with Arcade Fire on a Sound-track for the forth coming Richard Kelly film....."

Sweet! This is gonna rule.

Thanks to Jonah Moulin for the tip!
