A slightly revised version of Badly Drawn Boy’s “The Time of Times – taken from his Born In the UK album will be featured in the upcoming drom-com “Definitely Maybe,” according to the knit-capped wearing songsmith’s myspace page.
Due February 14 – Valentine’s day! how about that – the fromage-looking film stars Ryan Reynolds as a 30-something dad going through a divorce and in this process, has to retell his 10-year-old daughter (that four-eyes Abigail Breslin from “Little Miss Sunshine”) how he and her mother fell in love. The film also stars Rachel Weisz, Isla Fischer and Elizabeth Banks as Reynolds’ former love interests (Reynolds is rumored to be marrying Scarlett Johansson, btw).
The song will be available digitally on February 4th as a download and possibly on the film’s soundtrack. What’s on the rest of it? Who knows, details aren’t out there yet. Feel free to let us know.
Though according to IMDB, Coati Mundi (the stage name of Andy Hernandez, vibraphone player and member of Kid Creole and the Coconuts) sings a song he penned called, “Mighty Mambobique,” in the film.
The last film that Mr. Drawn Boy was largely involved in was the 2002 comedic drama adaptation of Nick Hornby’s “About A Boy,” which the Weitz Brother directors asked him to score in its entirety (to which he obliged). We were never huge Drawn Boy fans, but his ‘Boy’ work was something we always felt was a cut above his usual work (some samples below).
