How Spike Lee Got An Unreleased Prince Song Into BlackKklansman

How Spike Lee Got An Unreleased Prince Song Into BlackKklansman

While the film world is currently dominated by thrilling franchises and shared universes, there are certain filmmakers who are essentially living royalty. One of them is director/writer/producer Spike Lee, who has made hyper stylized dramas that often explore the black experience in America. While he's been busy with his Netflix series She's Gotta Have It, a new Spike Lee joint will soon hit theaters with BlackKklansman. Based on a crazy real life story, BlackKklansman follows an African American detective in the 1970's who infiltrates a violent Ku Klux Klan chapter. Like all Spike Lee joints, the soundtrack is a character within itself, and the credits have a particularly exciting track: an unreleased Prince cover. I recently spoke with Lee about the film's soundtrack, where he revealed how that previously hidden song made its way to BlackKklansman.

This is something I've not really said, so you'll be the first to hear it. Me and my brother Prince were close. And while we were in post-production, my good friend Troy Carter at Spotify said, because he's worked with Prince's estate, they had found a cassette in the vault. And he said 'I think I have a song for the end credits' And it was that song. The end credits 'Mary Don't You Weep', which is a Prince rendition of an old negro spiritual. And me and Troy talked and said 'I believe Prince wanted you to have that song.' Because he had 10,000 cassettes in the vault in Minnesota at this place. And for them to discover the cassette with that song on it, that is not a coincidence. And that song just so much captures the movie.

This is some serious movie magic. While music and style icon Prince tragically passed away in 2016, there are still tons of unused songs and footage of the legend at work. And since Spike Lee had a colleague who could connect him with the Prince estate, Spike Lee was able to bring a new Prince song to BlackKklansman, no doubt providing a cathartic bookend to the politically charged project.

Spike Lee joints always have iconic soundtracks, with the director often hand picking the songs used in his film and TV ventures. BlackKklansman actually has much fewer songs than Lee's fans are accustomed to. But each song is used purposefully, and Lee's restraint makes the choices feel more deliberate and focused. And adding an unheard Prince track at the last minute is just the icing on the cake of another visionary project by Lee.

You can see my conversation with Spike Lee below.

Ultimately, the use of Prince's unused "Mary Don't You Weep" is the final coda to an emotional, funny, and political movie. And while there's no big post-credits scene a la the MCU, hopefully Prince's track will entice moviegoers to sit through the entirety of the credits.

Spike Lee's BlackKklansman will arrive in theaters on August 10, 2018. In the meantime, check out our 2018 release list to plan your next trip to the movies.

Why Shazam!s Villain Needs To Be Terrifying, According To Mark Strong

Why Shazam!s Villain Needs To Be Terrifying, According To Mark Strong

Shazam! is something of a departure for the DC film universe in that it's a much more lighthearted story. This is fitting since the hero is ultimately a 14-year-old boy. However, just because our hero is a kid doesn't mean that he won't be faced with some grown-up problems. In the case of Shazam! that problem will come in the form of Mark Strong as Doctor Silvana. I had a chance to interview Mark Strong on the set of Shazam! last year and he feels that because the film has so much humor in it, it's that much more important for his villain to be terrifying. According to Strong...

I don't think it could ever be too dark. I think especially the more lighthearted the rest of the film is, and this one is. I mean there's some great comedy to be had with that idea that a 14-year-old boy in a grown up man's body doesn't really understand or is able to cope with his powers. I had this discussion with [director] David [F. Sandberg] and Peter [Safran] the producer very early on and said I think Sivana should be like heat seeking ballistic evil. The more frightening you make him, the more you feel that the kids are in jeopardy, and therefore the more that morality term of balance of good and evil plays out satisfacually. I think if he ever steps back and takes his foot off the gas of being dark.. it doesn't serve the purpose of the story, which is he needs to be a terrifying nemesis.

In order to balance out the humor that comes with Shazam!'s premise, Mark Strong's job is to be a force of true, dark evil in the story. If he's not, then there's no real sense of jeopardy for the heroes of Billy Batson and his friend Freddy. In short, Shazam! is still going to feel like a superhero movie, as the hero will be going against a truly dangerous opponent.

We learned a great deal about who Silvana will be in the new Shazam! film while on the set. While he's still truly a bad guy, his motives will likely be understandable to the audience, even if his actions won't be condoned.

You can get the most recent look at Mark Strong's character in the newest trailer. Check it out below.

A character like Doctor Silvana would be dangerous to an adult hero, but to one who is technically a teenager, even though he looks like Zachary Levi, Silvana will likely be even scarier. Billy Batson will need to fight Silvana with powers he doesn't even completely understand, stacking the deck against him even more.

Properly combining comedy with moments of suspense or action that are designed to feel truly harrowing can be a delicate balance. Your villain can come across as too comical and thus not feel like a true threat, and make no mistake, while Mark Strong has played some vicious characters in his today, he's perfectly capable of bringing humor to a role when necessary. However, in this case, it looks like Shazam! plans to play to Strong's, well, strength, and make Doctor Silvana the sort of villain who could seem dangerous to any of DC's heroes.

We'll see the final result when Shazam! arrives this spring.

How Liza Minnelli Helped Rami Malek Play Freddie Mercury In Bohemian Rhapsody

How Liza Minnelli Helped Rami Malek Play Freddie Mercury In Bohemian Rhapsody

Compared to playing a made up character, portraying a real person in a movie always presents a unique challenge. Playing legendary Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, who was uniquely talented and with incomparable physicality and stage presence, is something else entirely. To play Freddie in Bohemian Rhapsody Rami Malek knew he had to learn to move like Freddie, and for that he enlisted the help of movement coach Polly Bennett and Liza Minnelli, as he explained:

[Freddie] was very elegant in his footwork and he got a lot of that from Bob Fosse and Liza Minnelli, so we watched Cabaret quite a bit. At one point Polly [had] me do 'Killer Queen' as a Shakespearean soliloquy as performed by Marie Antoinette. Essentially, she was getting me to be as spontaneously Freddie as possible.

To become Freddie Mercury, Rami Malek watched all the archive footage of the singer that he could find, but he knew he couldn't just mimic or impersonate him. To do so would run counter to the spontaneity and creativity of Freddie Mercury. To get himself where he needed to be he had to go deeper and do more.

Instead of just looking at what Freddie did, Rami Malek and his movement coach looked at what inspired Freddie and that meant turning to musical director Bob Fosse's 1972 film Cabaret and Liza Minnelli. Liza Minnelli won an Oscar for the film where she starred as an entertainer at a club in Berlin and performed multiple musical numbers where she sang and danced.

Freddie Mercury's movement and footwork on stage was influenced by Liza Minnelli in that film, so Rami Malek focused on her work as Sally Bowles to try and match Freddie Mercury's elegant footwork on stage.

Rami Malek's preparation wasn't just watching Liza Minnelli in Cabaret either. Polly Bennett tried to instill a quintessential Freddieness into the actor, so that in any given scene, on stage or otherwise, he could be Freddie. As he told ScreenDaily, that meant some interesting exercises like performing a Queen song in the style of Shakespeare while pretending to be an 18th century French monarch. Though, I'm not sure whether or not he was supposed to be Marie Antoinette pre or post-beheading.

It sounds like it worked too because his spontaneity and unpredictability in the role kept the cameramen on the film on their toes, never sure what he was going to do next.

Beyond just moving like Freddie, Rami Malek also had to look and talk like the singer and that meant singing lessons, a dialect coach and of course, a false set of teeth to really become the Queen frontman. He also had an intense diet and exercise routine to have the necessary cardio for the performances in the film.

Some of what he did may sound untraditional, but whether it was watching Liza Minnelli or Shakespearean soliloquies that got him there, it is generally agreed that Rami Malek's performance as Freddie Mercury was fantastic and the highlight of Bohemian Rhapsody.

The film has been a huge success too, as the enduring popularity of Queen's music and Rami Malek's performance helped propel Bohemian Rhapsody to become the most successful musical biopic ever.
