Lovely Molly gets a score from Tortoise

Blair Witch‘s director Eduardo Sanchez’s Lovely Molly (once known as Possession) is getting a score recorded by the Chicago-based post-rockers Tortoise, according to Pitchfork.

The film is pitched as the tale of a newlywed who goes back to her long-empty family home only to be overwhelmed by a childhood evil she would’ve been better off forgetting. “Tortoise’s music is able to morph and change in a way that really accentuates the twists and turns in the Lovely Molly story,” says the film’s producer, Gregg Hale, in a statement. “We had tried to work together in 1999 on Fox’s sort-lived Freakylinks TV series and it didn’t pan out, so I was thrilled to have another chance to collaborate with them.”

Lovely Molly is premiering at TIFF 2011, September 14th during Midnight Madness. No word on distro or a release as of yet, but keep it here as we find out, you’ll find out.
