I think Benjamin Button may have suggested it...

It looked like a "comedy" and I remember there was some sort of spirit in an urn which had to be kept in.

I've tried to find it again but to no avail. Just want to check it out.

Thanks

Give us a clue - how long ago? Animated? Any stars in it? American?

I have spent quite a lot of time trying to get music off films. Because they didn’t have Denis Hopper in them! The last one I saw was The Brass Teapot. They took the music for Giving Ground, sampled the riff, put a rap tune over it and put it on the film without asking me, paying me or telling me. That’s the bad news. The good news is that it was Juno Temple in a spanking scene. So I can’t be too upset about that but they should have asked me, they should have told me and they should have paid me.

But seriously, I can't believe Eldritch got "This Corrosion" taken off Wayne's World and doesn't realise that was a huge blunder that cost TSOM the chance of becoming pop culture immortals

I'd say he does now. At the time, he probably read the script and thought it sounded like a truly awful film.

I'd assume it is, though I've never seen it. But I've seen bits and pieces of that particular scene on TV over the years (it is the scene where they play Queen, right?), and I just can't imagine This Corrosion being used at all. Yeah, he probably missed out on a massive payday, but... I can't imagine he regrets it.

I'm currently working on scores for three films at a time. I'm having a lot of fun with it.

And what films are you working on soundtracks for?

"For 'Judge Dredd', which is a comic book character very popular in England, very, very funny and overly violent, very beautiful, played by Sylvester Stallone; for 'Johnny Mnemonic', also a kind of science fiction story; and then for the next film by Paul Verhoeven who did 'Basic Instinct' and 'Robocop' [that would be Showgirls. - ed.note]

It's not at all sure if my music will be accepted for that, there's always competition, but the good thing is that I'm into all three films and that people asked me if I would like to do it and not the other way around. This year I was lucky, for example I turned down 'Wayne's Worid' because it wasn't really my type of film, it sucks, I think. And 'The Crow', that disgusting goth story, is terrible, absolutely terrible. I would never do it again. But this year I have three at once that I like."
