Have you ever been dancing your friggin' heart out at a Dan Deacon show and thought to yourself, "Man, if only this guy could soundtrack a film made by the guy who directed The Godfather"? If you have, then consider yourself on some insane Cassandra-type shit, because guess what: Dan Deacon is scoring legendary director Francis Ford Coppola's next film, Twixt Now and Sunrise. This is perhaps the most surprising artistic choice that Coppola's made since he chose to direct that movie where Robin Williams was the kid inside a grown man's body.

Twixt Now and Sunrise will come out later this year and stars folks like Val Kilmer and Bruce Dern. According to a press release, Deacon and Coppola are also "collaborating on a larger level, details of which will be announced soon." Mysterious!

Deacon's got some non-film-scoring gigs lined up for the near future, too, including collaborations with So Percussion and Ontario's Kitchner-Waterloo Symphony. Check out those dates below.
