Jonny Greenwood has written the score for Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog, which Film at Lincoln Center today named the Centerpiece of the 59th New York Film Festival. He is also scoring Pablo Larraín's Spencer, with Kristen Stewart, announced in January.

Campion wrote and directed the film from Thomas Savage's 1967 novel, set on a Montana cattle ranch in the 1920s. Benedict Cumberbatch plays a bullying rancher, with Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons and Kodi Smit-McPhee. It has its premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September and plays the New York festival at Alice Tully Hall on 1 October, before a Netflix release in the autumn.

The festival's notice singles out the music, calling his score mercurial and destabilising.
