About This Soundtrack
Directed by John Patton Ford and distributed by A24 and StudioCanal, the 2026 satirical comedy-thriller film How to Make a Killing is a modern adaptation of the 1949 British classic Kind Hearts and Coronets. The story stars Glen Powell as Becket Redfellow, a blue-collar worker who discovers he was disowned at birth by his obscenely wealthy biological family. To reclaim his rightful inheritance, Becket conceives an elaborate plan to eliminate the eccentric relatives standing in his way, leading to a series of dark and suspenseful encounters with a cast featuring Margaret Qualley, Jessica Henwick, and Ed Harris.
The movie's musical framework is anchored by an original score composed by Academy Award-nominee Emile Mosseri and a licensed soundtrack coordinated by music supervisor Nick Angel. Mosseri's orchestral score balances whimsical elements and murder-mystery tension, released officially under Lakeshore Records. The soundtrack features a diverse mix of licensed tracks, including Shirley Ellis's 'The Clapping Song', Papa Roach's rock anthem 'Last Resort', Young Thug's hip-hop track 'Drippin'', Augustus Pablo's dub classic, and Juca Chaves's vintage Brazilian track 'Take Me Back To Piauí'.
