Best Use of Prog in Film

TheLambMovie wrote: And when is your movie coming out? There's always gonna be critics and negativity with any project someone does in life. Like I said before, this gives me enjoyment making the film and if others also get enjoyment out of it that's great too, it's actually coming out real good and I hope people at least appreciate the effort of me trying to put an ambitious project such as this together.

An effort that approaches the heady weight of The Lamb' should be budgeted at least as much as, say, Quadrophenia. It shouldn't be some backyard venture expected to garner interest simply because someone has attempted it at all but on a lowly scale. Spread the good news when you have a two-hour plus film event with major studio interest. That's the goal here and not some lowbrow vanity piece done for peanuts.

He's not kidding at all, he gave to us an exclusive photo from a new spectacular film based on a prog album, lol If that's a photo from the upcoming film, let's expect another Tommy. I mean, pretty weak! Is that the little brother of the actor from the Karate Kid franchise? Check, please!

If only Owner of a Lonely Heart was prog.

Livin' Thing the song by ELO (from A New World Record, 1976) appeared on the soundtrack to the 1997 film, Boogie Nights (Boogie Nights the film also featured Fat Man the song by Jethro Tull but sadly it was not included in two Boogie Nights soundtrack albums), the 2005 film Tjenare kungen, the 2007 film, Chaos Theory, and the 2011 film Hunky Dory.
Early prog song God Only Knows from Beach Boys' masterpiece album Pet Sounds is also featured in Boogie Nights the film from 1997.

I did not know that, and I've seen the movie. Beautifully filmed, and Gibson looked impossibly young. Note to self: Take another gander.

Tangerine Dream's Firestarter is another of their scores that I hoped would receive the remaster treatment, but apparently the (excellent) remaster of Wavelength sold too few copies to justify the expense.
