Guardians of the Galaxy intergalactic soundtrack 2014

-


 
The soundtrack to the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie really is an awesome collection of songs. They didn't choose the obvious "space" songs. This is what it could have been if they did. I chose twelve songs, the same as on the actual soundtrack, and I stayed with songs between 1969 and 1979 like what was in the movie. David Bowie's "Moonage Daydream" was on the original soundtrack and even though it has a "space" theme I went with the more obvious "Space Oddity". The sequel started with E.L.O.'s "Mr. Blue Sky", for this project I used another song from the same album. I tried to choose a variety of styles like the actual soundtrack as well as ones that might work in the film.

WHAM! Sons of Jack and Albert 1990

  Wham! were huge in the 1980s. When they broke up George Michael's career soared. Even though Andrew Ridgeley was half of Wham! when I would mention his name people would ask "Who?". If I replied he was "the other one from Wham!" people understood. The same year Michael released L isten Without Prejudice Vol.1  Ridgeley released his solo album Son of Albert . I chose three of Ridgeley's songs for this: "Shake" (which was a single from the album), "Baby Jane" and "Red Dress" (which has Michael on backing vocals). https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCHnLE0OxajFoVCvBXRdUERbUvRqe2RNk&si=JrjyUkQfyxejE1Dl

Panic Room Nicole Kidman 2002

  Panic Room is another movie that could have been quite different looking than what we know today. Before Jodie Foster was cast in the led Nicole Kidman had already filmed for three weeks but had to leave because of an aggravated knee injury. Before she became from the tv series "Heroes", Hayden Panetierre was set to play the daughter but was replaced by Kristen Stewart before she made it big with Twilight . One other surprising bit of original casting is that Dwight Yoakam's role was originally offered to Tool's lead singer Maynard James Keenan. Director David Fincher had wanted him after directing Keenan in a music video.

Breakfast at Tiffany's starring Marilyn Monroe 1961

          It is hard to imagine the movie  Breakfast at Tiffany's  without Audrey Hepburn. Her image as Holly Golightly has been on posters, t-shirts and just about anything else you can buy. However when the author of "Breakfast at Tiffany's", Truman Capote, heard that she going to be cast in an adaptation of his book he thought she was terribly miscast. He had wanted Marilyn Monroe to play his lead character. She was offered the role but was advised against it. A young Steve McQueen was offered the male lead but was unavailable. The role that I would like to see recast is Mickey Rooney as Mr. Yunioshi. Couldn't they have gotten someone more appropriate like Alec Guiness or Marlon Brando? The original director was to have been John Frankenheimer.      If they had gone with those original choices the film could have been quite different. I believe Hepburn was responsible for Givenchy designing her character's wardrobe. Henry Mancini was ...
