Is there really a need for a Shrek 4? As long as their is a need for gold-plated SUV’s, gargantuan-sized mansions and theme parks in your backyard, the answer is yes. As you’ve already heard, Sir Paul McCartney has been asked to write the soundtrack for the soon-to-be 4th edition of the animated excuse to print money. Apparently Macca is a big disciple of the Shrek series that featured his song Bond theme “Live & Let Die” in the 3rd installment. “I’m a huge fan of Shrek”, the Beatle told The Sun. “As is my little girl. I can do a really good impression of him – I put on my best Scottish accent!” Color us thrilled. [NME]
Why Tyler Perry decided to get married is anyone’s guess, but we’re sure the outcome is hilarious and touching (and probably soulful too). The soundtrack to “Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?” is due Oct 2 and features tracks by Beyonce, Babyface, Keith Sweat, French Canadian crooner Michael Buble, Tyrese and other contemporary R&B/soul singers. The film also stars Janet Jackson and Jill Scott.
The “Feel The Noise” soundtrack (we seriously didn’t even hear about this movie until the soundtrack was sent to us) is out today and features songs by Omarion, Wyclef Jean, Pras, Tego Calderon and other Reggatoneros and Latin Types [ed. very informative and well researched]. The film was produced by Jennifer Lopez. Of the Reggaeton genre, the director Alejandro Chomski said, “It’s an upcoming cultural movement that is extending itself worldwide.” How about that, who knew? The film also stars R&B sensation Omarion who has an excellent dress sense and takes photo direction more than amiably. Ghetto supersta, Pras also has a small role.
The mournful and lachrymose Nick Cave and Warren Ellis (Dirty Three) composed soundtrack to “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” is due for a digital release on October 23 and a physical one sometime in early 2008. No details yet, but we’re hoping the release has both songs sung in the film by Nick Cave and Zooey Deschanel.
