Anahzul Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I wonder whose idea it was to put If the World in Body of Lies. If it was Azoff's idea then good riddance. Although I loved the movie, it was a huge commercial flop. Americans don't want to see movies about Iraq and 9/11. The Hurt Locker may have won best picture, but it made very little money. Spoiler alert, Rob Pattinson's latest film REMEMBER ME flopped because he dies in the 9/11 attacks. A GNR song needs to be in a movie with a more youth-oriented market that will be a mega-blockbuster like IronMan 2 or Avatar 2 or Eclipse. That is how buzz is generated in the industry these days to get airplay on the radio. Estranged would have been a great choice for Shutter Island.To put the song in Body of Lies was ok. But the part of the song used was so short that nobody knew it was a new GN'R song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonham Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 im pretty sure team gnr tried to get ITW in QoS. maybe by that time they were sold on the jack white song or whatever ,but every intro to ITW i saw on tour axl called it 'our own version of a bad bond theme' so im sure its exclusion wasnt due to a lack of effort. i just dont think it was in the cards so azoff pulled the BoL deal.its too bad there wasnt a MLK movie coming out around 08, madagascar would have made for a cool trailer."If the World" was supposed to be in The World is Not Enough.They used this one instead (by the band Garbage).http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvOeM1ffGF0&feature=player_embedded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the movie has commentary on it, they'd probably mention it in the beginning if GNR were ever considered for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iftheworld Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 This is silly. I loved Body of Lies and I thought If the World fit perfectly. Although, I thought If the World should have been a James Bond theme song instead of that Silly Alicia Keys and that Jack White kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little EMO Annie Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 I really liked BOdy Of LIes. I just don't think it was a good choice for promoting new GNR material. Russell Crowe himself didn't think it would be commercially successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl said he doesn't care about another album for the time being. He plans on touring and supporting Chinese. He made it very clear when Del James interviewed him.

highvoltage Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Pretty hard to turn down a spot in a movie that features Di Caprio and Russel Crowe. Its easy to look back and arm-chair quarterback. But at the time, there were huge expectations for this movie. And its not like every huge movie production was knocking down GnR's door for a new song for their movie.Definately. All signs pointed to awesome for that flick... Ridley Scott, Di Caprio, Crowe... It should have been a lot better than it was. I think GN'R were pretty lucky to get on at all; it's a shame that it turned out how it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) The big problem is where they placed the song. Axl didn't really kick in until the credits rolled and people were on their way out. It should have been used in a scene where Leo was banging some hot chick in the desert. Edited April 26, 2010 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 (edited) the promo so far has been a dry run. It was a basic multinational promotion.videos for Chi Dem, ITW, Scraped, Madgascar will hit MTV by late 2010.

My TWIHARD friends who nothing about GNR, agree with me.I watched New Moon the other night and towards the end of the film, one of the Volturi called Edward a "Soul Monster."It seems like a match made in Hell.I don't know how the saga ends yet - I haven't read the books - so I can't give my opinion on THIS I LOVE capturing the essence of E & B's relationship, but I'll take your word for it.
