More Godspeed news...
Apparently Godspeed you Black Emperor! have their music used extensively in the new movie from Trainspotting director Danny Boyle. The movie, entitled 28 Days Later is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie wioth an original screenplay by Alex Garland. I'm not sure how much GYBE material is used in the movie, or even if it will be exclusive tracks, but it will receive a UK cinema release in early November. More details are found here, including some reoprts from test-screenings. One comment is The first twenty minutes are absolutely superb, including some amazing footage of an empty and ravaged London set to the music of the Canadian group Godspeed You Black Emperor. Judging from the first 20 minutes, this film has the potential to be the best British science fiction film in many, many years. Can't wait to see the whole thing!". I'm certainly looking forward to it.
