PetePan 163 Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 From Dutch Bruce Springsteen fanclub page Be True (www.betrue.nl):Bruce en zijn kinderen mogen dan wel grote Harry Potter-fans zijn, de liefde wordt niet 'beantwoord' door de schrijfster van de Potter-boeken, J.K. Rowling. Het schijnt dat Springsteen een nog onuitgebracht nummer met de titel 'Stand By You Always' aanbood om in de eerste Potter-film te gebruiken. Maar Rowling en John Williams (de maker van de muziek bij de film) wilden niet dat de film 'te commercieel' werd. En muziek mocht niet al te aanwezig zijn.Nu zou Springsteen zijn song voor deel twee opnieuw hebben aangeboden en zou zijn aanbod wederom zijn afgeslagen. Potter-platenmaatschappij Warner zit met de handen in het haar, de marketingmensen zouden maar al te graag willen dat het Springsteen-nummer in de film komt. Nu hopen ze dat de schrijfster bij deel drie overstag gaat.That was for our Dutch friends, now translated (in my best English):"Bruce and his kids can be big Harry Potter fans, their love is not 'answered' by writer of the Potter books J.K. Rowling. It rumored that Springsteen offered an unreleased song called ' Stand by you always' to use for the Harry Potter movie. But Rowling and John Williams (the composer of the filmmusic) didn't want to become the movie 'to commercial'. And music wasn't allowed to be 'too present'.Now, Springsteen would have offered his song for part two again and his offered he was refused again. Potter record company Warner are a bit troubled with this, since the marketingpeople would like to have the Springsteen song in the film very much. Now hoping, the writer will go for it in part 3. (24 Oktober 2002)I just saw this while I was getting some more info on the ticketsale for tomorrow. Yes! The Boss is coming back to the Netherlands again!But funny that is is related to Williams.

Ollie 1,059 Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 There was also an article on yahoo: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...satoday/4550554It was mentioned in a thread at moviemusic.com.I give J.K. Rowling a big thumbs up for not caving in. Let Williams do his magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
