Future Ruins‘ future is ruined.
Founded by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross (Gone Girl, The Social Network), the new music festival dedicated to film and TV composers has been canceled.
Announced back in May, the event was scheduled to take place at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center on November 8.
Future Ruins shared an official statement on social media:
“Unfortunately Future Ruins will not move forward this year. The reality is, due to a number of logistical challenges and complications, we feel we cannot provide the experience that’s defined what this event was always intended to be. Rather than compromise, we’re choosing to re-think and re-evaluate.
“Meanwhile, we are sorry for any inconvenience and appreciate all the interest and support. Refunds will be automatically issued and ticket holders will receive an email with more information.”
In addition to Reznor & Ross, the event was set to feature John Carpenter (Halloween, Escape from New York), Danny Elfman (Batman, Edward Scissorhands), Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin (Suspiria, Dawn of the Dead), Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein (“Stranger Things”), and Howard Shore performing the score of David Cronenberg’s Crash.
The line-up also included Cristobal Tapia de Veer (“The White Lotus,” Smile), Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow (Ex Machina, Annihilation), Hildur Guðnadóttir (Joker, “Chernobyl”) , Isobel Waller-Bridge (“Fleabag”) , Mark Mothersbaugh (Thor: Ragnarok, The Royal Tenenbaums), Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe (Candyman), Tamar-kali (Mudbound), Terence Blanchard (Inside Man, Primal Fear), Volker Bertelmann (All Quiet on the Western Front, The Old Guard), and Questlove presenting the score works of Curtis Mayfield (Superfly).
Whether Future Ruins will attempt to relaunch next year is unclear at this time. Canceling the inaugural event a month in advance will be hard to recover from, but if anyone can do it, it’s Reznor.
