“A Better Place” Soundtrack On The Way…

July 5th @ 5:59 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Vincent Pereira

  • The “A Better Place” hoopla is heating up with a pleasant surprise, a brand new SOUNDTRACK for the film from Gig Records! Way cool. Here’s Vincent himself with the info:
Gig Records is doing the soundtrack album, and they have a website – www.gigrecords.com. If you click on “sound clips” and look under Amazing Meet Project, the song “Stupid of Me” can be downloaded, and that’s one of the new songs on the soundtrack to A BETTER PLACE. Also, the main man behind Amazing Meet Project is Michael Ferentino, who is none other than “View Askew’s own Amy Noble”’s brother – he also has a solo album on that site, plus the Amazing Meet Project album itself which is very good, and of course the upcoming A BETTER PLACE soundtrack album which is about half his music and half the old music from the film – they even have an A BETTER PLACE soundtrack page under construction.

Check out the slick new tune for yourself at www.gigrecords.com!

  • Rumor has it that Kevin’s involved in a new special for the Sci-Fi Channel on George Lucas, featuring a few Lucas-related shorts (including THX 1138’s short original version), and more. We hear that Kevin may be conducting some interviews and introducing the shorts, which would be great, though we’ve yet to verify this.
  • IFC’s gonna be showing their Clerks Special Edition again later this month, on the 27th of July to be exact. Those of you who still don’t own the DVD or laserdisc copies of the film can watch IFC and catch the commentary, deleted scenes, and other extras. Tune in.
  • Cameron Crowe‘s new flick has been titled (we’re sorry to say) “The Uncool”. We were still hoping for “Stillwater”, which just seems to have that 70’s feel to it, but it looks like it’s not gonna happen. The film’s bound to bring even more notice for Jason Lee, and is set to make its public debut at the Toronto Film Festival this September.
  • Those of you looking for an actual paper copy of “Fletch Won” or any other Fletch books might be happy to know that Amazon’s UK site (amazon.co.uk) is selling them.
  • Wanna catch all four of Kev’s flicks at the San Diego Comicon this year? Here’s the final schedule:
Thursday (July 20th), Convention Center, Room 4

7:45 p.m. Clerks
9:15 p.m. Dogma
11:25 p.m. Room closes

Friday (July 21st), Convention Center, Room 4

7:45 p.m. Mallrats
9:20 p.m. Chasing Amy
11:15 p.m. Room closes

  • DOGMA will be shown in this year’s Jerusalem Film Festival in Israel on the 17th and 18th of July.
  • Matt Damon will appear on Jay Leno tonight at 11:30PM EST, perhaps to plug “Titan A.E.”
  • Another Chasing Amy DVD review has popped up online courtesy of DVD Verdict. Wow, lots of people weighing in on this disc. Anyway, if ya wanna keep track of what everyone’s saying, be sure to check it out.
  • And last, but certainly not least, scooper Steven Legge got a little bored working over the holiday weekend and whipped up a pretty slick little Shockwave Flash animation for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
