Explosions In the Sky, along with composer David Wingo (of Ola Podrida), have scored David Gordon Green's new film Prince Avalanche, starring Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch. The soundtrack is out August 6 via Temporary Residence, with the film out August 9 in theaters and via iTunes and on demand. Prince Avalanche is the story of two men who leave the city to spend their summer repainting traffic lines on a country highway in Texas. According to a press release, Explosions in the Sky's Chris Hrasky suggested the film's location, Texas' Bastrop State Park, to writer/director Green. The band previously worked with Green when they gave him permission to use a song in his 2003 film All the Real Girls. Wingo scored that film, as well as several other Green films, including George Washington, The Sitter, and Snow Angels. Explosions in the Sky also scored the 2004 film Friday Night Lights.

It was shot in Bastrop, Texas after the Bastrop County Complex fire. Plot[edit|edit source] An odd couple of sorts, meditative and stern Alvin (Paul Rudd) and his girlfriend's brother, Lance (Emile Hirsch), dopey and insecure, leave the city behind to spend the summer in solitude repainting traffic lines down the center of a country highway ravaged by wildfire. As they sink into their job in the remarkable landscape, they learn more than they want to about each other and their own limitations. An unlikely friendship develops through humor and nasty exchanges, leading to surprising affection. Release[edit] Prince Avalanche premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival on 20 January.[1] Then it had its international premiere in competition at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival on 13 February 2013[2] where David Gordon Green won the Silver Bear for Best Director.[3] It subsequently screened within such U.S. festivals as South by Southwest and Maryland Film Festival. Production[edit|edit source] Production for Prince Avalanche was done in secret and was only announced to the public after its completion. This was at the request of the director, David Gordon Green, who wanted to get back to his independent roots after his last three films were completed by a major film studio.
