Which film am I thinking of?

Asked by judypraze (6points) December 16th, 2008

What was the movie that played in Sundance with lots of Beatles songs, but had to change their soundtrack for theatrical release because of clearance issues?

Are you thinking of “Across the Universe”?

Ooh, just got an answer on the phone – it was the Royal Tenenbaum’s! From the IMDB page on “alternate versions” it says:

- The version shown at the New York Film Festival and some other pre-release screenings used the original Beatles version of “Hey Jude” for the opening introduction.

- Three different songs were used for the final sequence at various points. Some advance screenings (including the New York Film Festival version) featured the Beatles’ “I’m Looking Through You.”

Well glad you found out what the film was. I recommend checking out Across the Universe. It has a lot of Beatle’s music in it and it’s a little “out there”.

It was the Royal Tenenbaums (cool flick), but I do highly recommend Across the Universe, as well.
