Bunnymen cinema films?

Postby Dr Evil » Fri Apr 16, 2010 6:13 am

Apparently, "Urgh-a Music War" with EATB's "The Puppet" is available on DVD at last.Are there any other films by the band that have actually been shown in public cinemas?
I'm making my own cinema film of my favourite new bands (Red One digital movie cameras give the quality of 35 mm without the horrific costs) and I wonder if the Bunnymen would be interested in doing a few tunes on it as the support act?
Alternatively, Will could do a few guitar riffs with the main act.
The Chameleons UK would be a good support act as well, if they can stop fighting long enough, or at least Mark Burgess and John Lever if they can't.
Since illegal downloads are destroying the income of all bands, actually getting paying customers into a movie theatre might be the only option-stadium concerts give poor value, the venues cost a lot of money and there is no guarantee that they will be filled. If the Bunnymen attempted a world tour on the scale of a worldwide film distribution, Mac's voice would be shot after a fraction of it. U2's 3D film worked for them financially, though the costs of the UHDTV 3D technology have come down to realistic levels since then so that instead of needing to be a millionaire band, even a private fanatic such as myself might (just) be able to afford it. Mac would have to be on top form to star in this movie-some of the bands in the film could slaughter even the original Bunnymen. Probably have to get Les back and do some of the best Reverberation/Porcupine/HUH/Ocean Rain songs to compete. It would all have to be filmed in a day at a live venue to keep costs down.
