One of my favorite films of the last 30 years is Kiss Kiss Bang Bang from 2005. I won't bore you with the details other than to say see it if you haven't yet, but based on that film alone, I am psyched for The Nice Guys, due out May 20th, based on the music heard in the film's two trailers. What's the connection? Both films were written and directed by Shane Black. In between the two, he co-wrote and directed the 10th highest-grossing film of all time worldwide, but it was absolutely dreadful, so we're hoping for a return to form for Black, who is also known for creating Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, and rewriting the script for The Last Action Hero.
The Nice Guys soundtrack is scheduled to be released the same day as the film hits theaters and has fifteen songs, none of which appear in those two trailers. The vibe from both the music and the posters is Boogie Nights Lite, don't you think?
As has been the recent trend, The Nice Guys soundtrack is also being pressed on vinyl in a super deluxe double album edition with all sorts of bonuses. The "naked" cover appears below.
