Given that both Davidge and Del Naja come from art backgrounds (Davidge was once a graphic designer and Del Naja is both an artist and a musician), it's no surprise that the pair have embraced film music to such a large extent.
Del Naja echoes this, and adds that writing for film is a very different process, because it is linked to a visual, which gives you a guide as to what works and what doesn't.
Del Naja has already recorded a few rough tracks, and they also have material from Grant Marshall, who took time out from Massive Attack while the band recorded 100th Window to fulfil personal commitments.

 JIVEMagazine.com - Massive Attack: 100th Window
Perhaps it’s the fact that the only actual member of Massive Attack to participate on this album is Robert Del Naja, but 100th Window ends up lumped with Sarah Mclachlan’s Surfacing and Moby’s 18 in the sad category of recent pathetic attempts at albums by formerly great musicians.
Instead, Del Naja fills the musical void on 100th Window with flecks of synths and semblances of bass, choosing ambience over music.
Robert Del Naja’s take on the Massive Attack sound works for a few shining moments, however; take “Butterfly Caught”, when slow and subtle grooves give way to an “Angel”-like strength.

 CLUAS Indie Gig Reviews: Massive Attack live in Australia (March 2003)
The controversy, surrounding drug and child pornography charges (which has since been dropped) against Robert '3-D' del Naja, Massive Attack’s front man, did not overshadow the show and he started off by dismissing them as bullshit, to cheers from the audience.
The opening songs were taken from the band’s latest release 100th Window and del Naja’s vocals sounded strong on 'Future Proof', echoing out over the electronic heartbeat of the synthesizer, which built up slowly to its powerful crescendo.
Given the current political climate and del Naja’s very public involvement in the anti-war movement it added the necessary sombre backdrop for a concert played out on the cusp of war.

Robert Del Naja has notched his second film score in less than a year, with the news that the reclusive Massive Attack stare has written the soundtrack to hard-hitting British production 'Bullet Boy'.
Both tracks were written and produced by Robert Del Naja and Neil Davidge (co-producer of Mezzanine and 100th Window), recorded last summer over three weeks in Bristol.
Bullet Boy is a drama dealing with the escalating gun crime epidemic gripping the UK, telling the story of two brothers growing up in one of London's most deprived neighbourhoods, where a minor street clash escalates into a cycle of violence that has tragic repercussions.

 Portishead-Massive Attack Interview (Venue Magazine) - Phead - A Portishead Fansite   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Sitting in a Stokes Croft cafe-bar, Robert Del Naja, Geoff Barrow and Adrian Utley (Beth Gibbons, being a 'recluse', disappears after the photo shoot, while Daddy G saunters away with a laid-back "D [Del Naja] can speak for me") lay down a ground rule: they won't answer any questions about Portishead or Massive Attack.
The resultant, wonderfully eclectic current line-up is Massive Attack, Portishead, The Coral, Robert Plant (who was in the process of planning his own fundraising gig in Bath when the call came) Fuzz Against Junk and various special guests.
This is a particularly appealing prospect for a manifestly tour-weary Del Naja.

 Massive Attack - 100th Window - Stylus Magazine
Daddy G’s deeply rhythmic ragga growl is missing, but the mysterious, childlike wash of Horace Andy’s delicious reggae lilt remains on a brace of tracks, albeit buried and confused almost to the point of being unrecognisable.
Even Del Naja’s own voice is twisted and altered, the laconic raps of yesteryear subdued and suspicious and verging on indecipherable, less lines of melody and tune than supplementary wafts of sound interpolated into the fascinating, precise and evocative mix along with everything else.
Future Proof is subdued and suspicious, Del Naja talking of lepers, ghosts and “warm pipes”, mistaken soul and absent friends.
