Jarvis Cocker Writes Songs for 'Fantastic Mr. Fox'
Filed under: Animation », Music & Musicals », 20th Century Fox », James Bond », Harry Potter »
Further ensuring that the band Pulp should have new fans in the future, front man Jarvis Cocker continues to seek younger listeners. This time, in an interview with Time Out Chicago, he claims to have written a few tracks for Wes Anderson's stop-motion-animated film The Fantastic Mr. Fox, which is based on the novel by Roald Dahl. He says there are three or four songs and then some music that could become part of the film's score. Additionally, in response to questions regarding his solo track "Disney Time", he notes that writing music for a kid's movie is his chance to "do better" than Disney films, at least in terms of corrupting young minds.A few years ago, Cocker contributed to the soundtrack for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and even appeared in the movie as a member of the fictional group The Weird Sisters, performing the songs he composed, "This is the Night", "Do the Hippogriff" and "Magic Works." Pulp has also written songs specifically for movies in the past, including a rejected theme song to the 007 movie Tomorrow Never Dies (both the original version of "Tomorrow Never Dies" and a retitled version called "Tomorrow Never Lies" were later released as a bonus track and a B-Side, respectively). In the interview, he suggests that Quantum of Solace could now use his solo effort "Quantum Theory", to which he'd change the lyrics appropriately.
When QOS arrives in theaters this fall, don't be surprised if Cocker's song isn't heard. As for Fantastic Mr. Fox, we'll have to wait until November 2009 to see if the man's music makes its way to impressionable ears.

Bond girl rumor #899 - Michelle Yeoh doesn't know what "prequel" means
Filed under: Casting », RumorMonger », James Bond »
Yesterday, Martha reported that
Australian actress Rose Bryne probably has the role of Vesper Lynde in Casino Royale all wrapped up. But
that's not stopping Michelle Yeoh from babbling a little bit of nonesense in an effort to get the producers to change
their minds. The star of Memoirs of a Geisha is actually a 007 veteran – she played Bond Girl Wai Lin in
1997's Tomorrow Never Dies. Apparently not getting the whole prequel aspect to Royale, Yeoh told
reporters that she'd love to work with Daniel Craig (she called the blonde Bond "a dish") and would
"jump at the chance of doing another Bond movie, it was so much fun." This was then reported
down
the wires with zero
attention paid to the fact that an encounter between Yeoh's character and a Casino-era Bond would make exactly
zero sense.
