Opeth's Music as a soundtrack of a movie

[duvix]

Is there a movie that has Opeth's music as its soundtrack?

If there isn't there should be, casue with Opeth you cannot go wrong with expresing feelings.

 

[Slunk]

Its funny you bring this up. I was just watching a trailer for the Swedish horror movie "Let the right one in", which by the way, will be a complete horror classic.
Anyway, its a really dark Swedish movie, so what better soundtrack than really dark Swedish music?

 

[Savern]

I don't know of any film with Opeth's music in - but when I listen to stuff on the train or bus, I'm always picturing a film in my head which fits along with the music.

Still Life should be made into a film - would be awesome.

Hell yeah, Still Life would be very awesome as a movie....the part of the movie that comes up during Serenity Painted Death would be insane. I could just imagine a dude waking up in a forest clearing or something, dark red sky outside, and then finding his woman with her throat slit open. Then him just going apeshit and killing like 10+ dudes with his barehands and falling into a puddle of blood/water and going unconsious.

played by Heath Ledger!

Or Mikael Akerfeldt and his wife.


(even thought i know what you said couldnt happen)I wouldnt really want anyone who was well known to do the movie if it were to happen, i'd rather have characters who i didnt know so well.

Shit, i just realized........its alot like the movie Braveheart..............cause i was just thinking Mel Gibson could play the guy in Still Life, since he did so well in that movie.

I know this maerican Tv show called riminla minds used "death whispered a lullaby" one time.....so taht was cool.....i would persinally love it,,,,,if tey were used un a epic battle movie....that would be sweet.....PEAC EOUT

 

[EkstatikParataxis]

I just thought it would be awesome if mike would actually write film-music...

Imagine his musical abilities in combination with the imagery a good filmmaker creates...

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

I think it'd be pretty good if Opeth wrote a film score

I thought "riminla minds 2" was a better show .

 

[BefriendedUnit]

No thanks. The band's dabbling in film has been pretty meh so far, and I'd rather picture the imagery subjectively anyway.

hmmm, are you basing that off of TGC orrrr?

 

[BefriendedUnit]

I didn't really care for either of the videos. Yeah, I didn't mean the live stuff, I own Lamentations and it's great.

 

[Twelveby5]

I'd love to see Opeth do music for a Coen Bros. film

 

[HemeHaci]

I have a scenario in mind for Face of Melinda with Adriana Lima playing Melinda and Mikael as the narrator (though I would gladly take the role as well )

 

[chasepw133]

Yeah definitely, maybe if someone else directed it with Opeth's input it could be pretty

Roman Polanskis' film the ninth gate is very Opethy, I'd check it out if you haven't. I'm sure they'd have laid down a cool st for that

I saw that a few years ago. It starts off all right, but by the end it's just one big messy puddle of shit.

As for Still Life being film-worthy. HA!

Well it is. For me its got a stronger storyline than MAYH, and its a classic reworking of Romeo and juliet in a way. You could easily flesh it out, add extra characters, use lyrics as part of the dialogue! It would be jawesome.

It's a good storyline in terms of a concept album, but for a film you'd have to flesh it out so much that it probably wouldn't be recognizable as the same storyline. Not enough happens in the concept of Still Life for a full-blown film. A very short, short film possibly, but not a full-length feature or anything like that.
