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.
