Celine Dion to do Anakin and Padme Love Ballad In ATTACK OF THE CLONES'
Ok, Harry here, and I got this email:
Subject Line: Episode II & Celine Dion
Harry,
Is this true? My God...PLEASE save the last remnants
of my childhood from this man. Lucas CAN'T....I mean
he would have to know that people would laugh their
asses off at him and this movie...not that they
already aren't to some degree.
God help us....I am beginning to agree with Ewan's on
and off the record critcisms...
BritSo I did the most natural follow up move I could think of, I instantly clicked over to TheForce.Net to see what I could find out. Well, while it seems they started the rumor about this scary development, but then they cleared it up. Seems that there was a confusion over a title of an upcoming song for a TV show called O CLONE, and somewhere a mistake in translation was done. It's all been cleared up now. So panic not, there will be no Celine Dion musical interlude in Episode 2. Tragic loss or joyful absence.. that's all up to you.

Imagine Padme and Anakin in front of a super destroyer pouah very gross.

You've gotta be getting me. Send that egomanical bimbo back to Canada! Or better yet, tie 2 100lb dumbells to her sordid ankles and drop her over the final resting place of the Titanic. It seems only fitting!
-
The fairytale is over!!!
-
I'm telling you, that stupid song from Titanic is still ringing in my head, don't let Mr Lucas do this, it will ruin the hole star wars universe for me!!!

They're talking about some stupid soup opera here in Brazil, maybe she's doing something to the score. Imagine how good is to live here, watch this creep show about a clone that we don't get to see at all and you even get this canadian skeleton on the side... heheh Viva o Brasil!!!
-
Had a good laught at this. But as you convince yourself such a move is even beyond Lucas, remember the creative team now in charge of the prequels is the same creative team who thought it was a good idea to add "the scream" to luke falling down the shaft in the special edition of ESB, and the same people who thought it was good idea to make Greedo shoot first, not to mention Jar-jar.

In the words of Sam Kinison... "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AAAAAHhhhhh AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

...with a very silly love story, that somehow mixes arabs, clones, and wrestling. Utter crap, you knou... Guess they used some Celine Dion tune on the soundtrack.

ANAKIN SKYWALKER HAS A BEER AND CHEETS ON QUEEN AMIDALA
by turd ferguson
Please God no! This can't be true! I cannot stand the garbage that is Celine Dion music, and if I pick up the Star Wars Episode Two CD the week before the movie comes out, and I see a Celine Dion - credited song, I will not go see it... okay. I lied. I'll probably still go see it, but I won't be happy if I hear her music overlapping on an Anakin/Padme scene.
-
Star Wars officially dies if Celine Deon has ANYTHING to do with this movie -- or the NEXT ONE GEORGE! DO YOU HEAR ME?!
-
From what I've seen of Lucas' Episode II, I think a Celine Dion love ballad would fit perfectly with the "Attack of the Crap" motif that Lucas seems to be going for....
-
If it really was happening, I swear I would feel a great disturbance in the force as if millions of fanboys suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. slack
-
A couple of weeks prior to the release of the PHANTOM MENACE (which I loved, though I know it ain't cool to admit it here), Bill Amend's comic strip FOXTROT had as a Sunday strip a Webpage created by Jason (the geeky son) that divulged false PHANTOM MENACE rumours. One of them was that the music during the opening text crawl would be a ballad by Celine Dion instead of the Star Wars theme. But, if doing a song for ATTACK OF THE CLONES keeps her out of Montreal (where I am) for a few weeks, I'm all for it, as I wouldn't have to see any articles about her marriage or her f**king baby in the GAZETTE for a couple of weeks. _________________________________
Terrance:Oh Celine Dion, what have you done? I was going to make us a family again, but now you've slept with Ugly Bob.
Celine Dion:What do you mean? Why are you calling him Ugly Bob?
Phillip:Because that's his name you stupid bitch.
Celine Dion:You told me your name was Handsome Bob.
Terrance:Look at him Celine Dion.
Terrance removes the bag from Bob's head.
[Scream]
Phillip:Behold, his horrible face.
Celine Dion:Oh my God, he's heinously ugly, and I am pregnant with his child!
Terrance:What?!? Noooooo!!!!!!
Celine Dion:I'm going to have a freak-baby!
Phillip:Oh, the humanity!
-
Very funny, and very appropriate.
-
on and off record? I've heard that everywhere! I hear someone else said something critical of TPM and is not returning.
-
...as long as it wasn't in English... er... I mean "Empire Standard", nor in French. If she sang in Hutt, it would be pretty cool, you got to admit. No wait, it would be even cooler if she didn't sing a new song, they just play her original Quebec hit, "Icognito", 'cause then the cheesy, cheesy video would be all over MTV or VH1.
-
I think he played a General in TPM, was critical of Lucas and TPM in some recent magazine and is not in AOTC.
-
Anyway first-talkbacker-poter wars aside, if Lucas is really going to use Dion for a love theme or any Pop artist for that matter, I will loose all respect I have left for the guy. I mean c'mon this isn't Titanic here for Christ's sake. Hell he just as well have Jar Jar sing the love theme from Superman, have the main villian be Bozo the Clone, and call it a day!
-
If this had of been true, then world trade centre aside, this would have been the real instigation for war.
-
...I mean, ever hear the animated Princess Leia's version of the STAR WARS theme with lyrics from the Christmas Special? Well, actually, I haven't myself, but from what I understand it's pretty awful. What's the name of the place where you can buy a bootleg of the Christmas Special... Kim's Video or something? I got to see that for myself.

Glad that was a mixup! Celine Dion should be tied up and forced
by fredman73
I'm Canadian and everyone I know (I'm in the local music scene) HATES her. She is a lousy clone of Barbara Streisand (that's NOT a complment!) and no matter what you think, the only Canadians that will admit she exists are the frogs from Quebec. If I had it my way, Dion would be strapped to a chair so I could chainsaw her ugly little head off and shit down her neck. If Lucas wants to save his movie, he needs to make sure he doesn't go the cheesy-ballad-route with any songs. That's making Star Wars into sentimental shlock (a la Disney) rather than what it is now (not that it's gotten any better since ROTJ).
-
Listening to 'The Last Dictator' Cycle from Crime & The City Solution's 'Paradise Discotheque' album. Now this could be a cool soundtrack for 'AotC'. I suppose that's probably not gonna happen.
-
Finally, Americans and Canadians can agree on something, that Celine Dion sucks.
-
i don't care that that nauseating, warbling canadian arsewit isn't going to be in AOTC: I still think she should be summarily executed.
-
When Ewan was asked about Episode I before its release, he was quoted in different places as criticizing the script. I believe his estimation of it was "it could be better." You're right about another actor--Ralph Brown, the guy who played the queen's starship captain Ric Olie, said that the movie was one of the worst experiences of his life. Terence Stamp also has said that he will never bluescreen act or do anything related with Lucas again after what he called miserable experiences. He played Supreme Chancellor Valorum.
-
Ever since Star Wars Episode 1 I've been counting the days until Episode 2. I mean, as far as I was concerned, it couldn't come fast enough. But now that it has a stupid title, a bad plot and Celine Dion, is it really worth seeing anymore? All you people who blindly follow hype think about that.
-
Lets face it! Do you remember how much we were looking forward to episode one? Then the trailers began coming and things started to feel wrong. The slapstick iguana (read Jar-jar), a wizkid taking out a battle cruiser, the droids being built by Anakin and the force being some sort of bacteria (midiclorians?). It sucked big time and we all know it. Now similar things are happening with episode 2. Boba Fett is the prototype for the stormtroopers, his "father" Jango Fett with a crappy blue-silver version of the suit, Anakin whining like a teenager (have anyone seen the Harry Enfield sketch? "That's sooooo unfair"), Senator Jar-jar?!?! (no wonder the republic fell) and seriously overplayed love scenes (in a green field, jesus, where's the white horse). How is this boy going to become Lord Vader? They should have cast Leonardo DiCaprio, added some flying pink ponies and marketed it towards teenage girls. George has lost it (if HE ever had it) and surrounded himself with asslickers. "Yes, that's a great idea Mr Lucas, lets have a Celine Dion song in the middle of the movie!"
-
Shock Horror: Is celine dion appearing on star wars sound track?...err no it would seem. Slow news day perhaps? lack of genuinely interesing information?...I doubt anyone was aware of this rumour before you guys reported it. Any panic that the story would have caused would have been from reading your article headline.
-
He was at some awards show and while on the red carpet a reporter asked him about the title for Episode 2. He hadn't heard it so the reporter told him. He started to laugh and said it was a "terrible, terrible title."

Entirely off-topic but nonetheless important: Has everyone hear
by llghtst0rmer
Sorry this is so out of left field, but anybody that finds this important should really check it out. Apparently, Blockbuster Video has been refusing to stock widescreen copies of DVDs when there are Pan and Scan versions available. Movies like Mummy Returns, The Grinch, Cats & Dogs, American Pie, and several other Universal titles are NOT available in widescreen in many (if not all) Blockbuster stores. If you value the studios continuing to present DVDs in the films' original aspect ratio, P L E A S E go to http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?widedvd and sign the petition being submitted to Blockbuster's corporate HQ. (For further info on the matter, you can check out TheDigitalBits.com.) Personally, I refuse to ever rent from Ballbuster just on general principle, but the fact remains the bastards have way too much clout in the industry and they call more shots than you might think, making demands on the studios that only benefit them and screw over smaller, independent stores and chains, and of course, the DVD public. (Did you know Lackluster is trying to demand a 3-month window where DVDs will only be available for rent, and you'll have to wait to buy them?) At any rate, I'm begging you guys to please join in on this one. I don't think there's anyone here that would like to see pan-and-scan continue to rear its ugly head into the DVDs we buy or rent. It took forever for the studios to get it right, let's not get them thinking they made a mistake! Thanks, all. --Lightstormer

Whoo....don't EVER scare me like that, Harry...I was two seconds from going to work on Lucas with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch...anyway, though, while Celine Dion is thankfully not even an option here, we can't entirely count Lucas out on having a ballad created for AOTC either. So, with the floor open, i say we need to come up with VIABLE names who can actually pull off a Star Wars ballad without us wanting to perform the ancient ritual of hara-kiri while she sings. Right now, I got one name....Lara Fabian...yeah, she's poppy, yeah, she's French, which ain't strayin' that far from the whole Celine debacle...but, she has a great voice, and anyone who was able to clear their minds or quit their angry rambling at the end of A.I. can testify to the fact that she and John Williams can do something beautiful with enough work. Also, check out Final Fantasy:The Spirits Within...say what you will about the movie itself(i liked it, dammit), but her song at the end was beautiful, even if it was written by Elliot "So what if it sounds like the 60's TV show?" Goldenthal...so, long as she's not allowed to write the song herself, it could work. Revolution is my name...Blame Canada!!
-
Lucas doesn't owe you anything buddy boy. It's his story, and if you think that he has betrayed you by not having Boba Fett not be Master Jareel from Concord Dawn, saying midichlorians are really the force, and including a character named Jar Jar Binks in his movies, then you need to get out more.
-
Lucas couldn't have Celine doing a song for Attack of the Clones because it's not a "Lawrfe" story. Although I'd pay cash money to see Celine as a mohawked bounty hunter.

Qui-jon: '(They)...are microscopic lifeforms...they tell us the will of the force'.
When did anyone say they are the force ?!!!
They are simply one method of determining the strength of the force in that person, and help the jedis connect with the force.
So the force is still a mystical energy field.
I agree it was unnecessary, but it doesn't negate the previous concept of the force.
At least that's the way I see it.

Hear my word LOTR fans. Kill the infidel. She must be erased from the Earth (middle or any other of your choosing). This abomination cannot be allowed to further torment the souls of billions. The line must be drawn here and now. This evil is far greater than Sauron. This thing embodies the very darkness striving to overtake everything in existence. Basically, she needs to be stopped. I suggest that some sort of taskforce consisting of nine individuals should be assembled, call it a fellowship if you will. Then they must hunt out the beast and finish it once and for all. Otherwise i'll piss in your popcorn when you go to see my precious...i mean FOTR. See you in the afterlife, J.
p.s. does anyone know where i can find J.R. Hartley's "Fly Fishing"? -
We all know that Lucas and his film can be...er...a little hard to defend sometimes. Having Celine Dion warbling on the soundtrack would just make the fucking job impossible !
-
Terminate her, immediately !!

You might try looking in the Yellow Pages.

Don't they know Celine Dion was releasing records 50 years before Enya?

by brooklyn bred
You folks act like he created this over 60 years ago and now he's to far gone to run the company and should be voted off. I trust George will make the right choice.
-
...thought this was some bizarre counterpunch to Enya's back up of the LOTR soundtrack. Thank heavens it was all a misunderstanding. Still, I think there are those among us who wouldn't put it past ol' Lucas to try a desperate move like that. Regardless of whatever flaming Ep.II might be due, I'll wait until I actually see the film.
-
"If Lucas was brilliant enough to create this saga shouldn't he have the insight to choose the correct vocalist for the love theme in HIS movie franchise?"
I got two words for you: Jar Jar. -
Featuring new music from Tonic, Britney Spears, NSync, Goo Goo Dolls, and Smash Mouth's 'All Star.' And the extended dance remix of John Williams' original score, including such tracks as 'Scene Where Anakin Learns Palpatine Is Really His Father.' In stores everywhere Spring 2002.
-
that was kinda scary for a moment there. i REALLY REALLY REALLY want to LOVE this movie. i love the title, i love all three teasers, i love the storyline of this installment, i think CGI Yoda just might actually work, and well... the inclusion of Celine Dion, even if her song played only during the credits, would be a HUGE STEP IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. so i'm glad the rumour has been shot down. and PLEASE LUCAS!!!! MAKE THIS MOVIE RULE!!!!
-
Actually this wouldn't surprise me. Nothing George does surprises me anymore... unfortunately.
-
Isn't it already confirmed that Moby WILL be doing a 'techno' version of the Cantina theme for the nightclub scene in AOTC? Hope not, because that scene (Obi-Wan lopping off Zam Wessels arm, and if thats a spoiler to you, you ought to get out less often) otherwise threatens to be cool. As for TPM, get a little bit of what's called PERSPECTIVE, willya?! Is it inferior to the OT? Absolutely. A disappointment? Sure. But, face it, TPM still dances on the grave of the likes of Pearl Harbor, Tomb Raider, Mummy Returns etc. etc. Why are so many talkbackers 'glass is half empty' types?

Every cheesy mega-singer has a beginning...every American uber-star has a cheesier double...now, for FIRST & LAST TIME EVER, Celine Dion stars in.."ATTACK OF THE CHEESE CLONES"!...All the way from Canada, the country that barely notices her existence out of sheer embaraasment, comes the worst excuse for an entertainer since Carrot Top! SEE hair-raising special effects as Celine Dion tansforms into a frog to save her old, fat, bald husband...I mean PRINCE. SEE them make sweet love untiil you have to vomit as Celine produces an army of Dion offspring! HEAR obnoxious ballads sung so overpoweringly that only dogs can hear it! Join Celine and her pals KENNY G, JOHN TESH and the mysterious master YANNI as they destroy mankind with their god awful "music". You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll shoot yourself in the eye!

Hi I'm Celine and Lara Fabian's worst nightmare and I and my good friend Anna made the rumor up that they will sing the song "The Man In My Life" from the Star wars movie. It was not made up by some nerdish website.
And it looks like we achieved our objective. We got all the Lara fans wound up and excited that their nobody singer was gonna be a somebody and we got all the pathetic Celine fans excited cos what else can they be excited about?
We also achieved an added bonus... Getting so many Star Wars nerds with no lives upset.
Life is good!
Let the crap be with you! -
You people are bigger dipshits than I previously thought if you think this Celine is true.
Do not go to AOTCs, please stay home and clean your basements.
You are too stupid to live.
I thought Harry was suppose to print real stories instead of hearsay and gossip?
Hey Harry, why not just rename this site "The Enquirer 2" and be done with it.

The Star Wars franchise is pretty much finished, done, unsalvagable. It's now about the same level of mediocrity as all those 'Jurassic Park' and 'Jaws' sequels. Sigh. Anakin, we hardly want to know ye.
