As someone who was once a producer on a movie, the movie was cut with an awesome soundtrack, but when the movie was sold the buyers realized they couldn't afford to distribute it because the soundtrack was too awesomely expensive and so all the music got replaced with lame shit. I wonder how often music is downgraded in movies because a good royalty deal can't be negotiated for certain tracks?
- kevbin 5y agoThe original version of Donnie Darko was “downgraded” from INXS to Echo and The Bunnymen, among others. The director’s cut replaced or repurposed several tracks. The original was better, a little too much tinkering, I think.
- kingcharles 5y agoOoo, and I remember that the movie of 1984 had a much better soundtrack on its original release on VHS, which I have somewhere... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_(For_the_Love_of_Big_Brother) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_(For_the_Love_of_Big_Brot... Seems more of a creative dispute than royalty issue, though.
