Ronson wants to make more movie soundtracks
April 26th, 2011 - 7:17 am ICT by IANSLondon, April 26 (IANS) Musician Mark Ronson wants to work on more movie soundtracks after working on his new comedy movie ‘Arthur’.
“The original ‘Arthur’ is one of my favourite movies. When I moved to the US when I was eight there was one station where it was like the only movie they played, pretty much on loop. I haven’t got any plans to do another film at present, but it’s something I would enjoy doing in the future at some point,” Ronson told BANG Showbiz.
The 35-year-old had a great experience working on his first film which was a remake of the 1981 comedy in which Russell Brand takes on the lead role originally played by Dudley Moore, reports femalefirst.co.uk
Mark’s initial involvement in the project came when director Jason Winer wanted to use one of his old tracks in the film.
“I did four songs for the film. They were using a song that me and Daniel Merriweather had, an old song, and I met the director and said, ‘Well, we could make a new one. So we wrote two or three songs, one with Guy Chambers, one with Eg White, and they liked all three songs and put them all in the film, and I ended up doing the intro too, so it’s cool, especially for my first experience,” he added.
