PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS PRESS QUERY TO THE REPORTER AT HER PHONE OR INTERNET ADDRESS. NEEDS INFO SOOOOON. --Peter Rollins [log in to unmask] ______________________________________________ Two recent films -- A Knight's Tale and Moulin Rouge -- feature modern music used in a period setting. I'm searching for comments regarding this creative license: *Does using modern touches make the story more accessible/enjoyable to a younger crowd? (for example, in A Knight's Tale, the jousting seems more like a modern sporting event with the crowd singing "We Will Rock You" by Queen) *However, does the entertainment value overshadow historical value in the film? Are certain people, such as students, likely to believe the elements which are put in purely for entertainment? *Many classic tales have been updated with both setting and music -- such as many Shakespeare works including Romeo & Juliet, etc. -- but mixing the modern (music) with the old (setting, customs etc.) seems to be a new twist. Is it? *Is this a trend/will it continue? Thanks for your help. Send responses to me via e-mail or you can reach me by phone at (203) 574-3636 ext. 451.
