Robert Plant to Appear in Terence Malick’s New Film

Ryan Gosling, star of Terence Malick’s forthcoming film about intersecting love triangles in Austin’s hepcat music scene, let slip in a recent interview with Indiewire that none other than Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant will be making his feature film debut in the as-yet-untitled picture. Given the film’s music-centric subject matter, and in light of the fact that Plant actually lives in Austin part-time, we’re assuming the former Led Zeppelin frontman will be playing himself.

According to Gosling, other musicians appearing in the film include Patti Smith, Johnny Rotten and The Black Lips. They will be sharing screen time with the likes of Michael Fassbender, Rooney Mara, Cate Blanchett, Natalie Portman and Val Kilmer.

But wait! There is more breaking news from the Plant camp.

Yesterday brought word that Plant and his new band, the Sensational Shape Shifters, will be appearing at this year’s Forecastle Festival, which will take over Louisville, Kentucky’s Waterfront Park from July 12th through July 14th. According to a press release, Plant and his band will be performing songs from every era of Plant’s career.

This week also saw the release of Patty Griffin’s “Ohio”, which features Plant (who happens to be Griffin’s paramour) on harmonies. According to Griffin, her rock star boyfriend assisted on the song’s arrangement as well. “I had the song in an odd shape and couldn’t really figure out how to use it,” Griffin explained. “He came in and arranged it so that it became what it is. He came up with the tempo and the mood on it.”

Listen to the lovebirds croon together here.
