The Clash Making Movies
The new Martin Scorcese/ Robert De Niro flick King of Comedy will feature an actionpacked soundtrack including the Clash, 8.8. King, Bob James, Ray Charles, Rickie Lee Jones, Talking Heads, Tom Petty and Rick Ocasek. The soundtrack is being produced by Robbie Robertson, formerly of the Band. Members of the Clash, portrayed as a tough, streetwise rock' n'roll outfit, actually get to deliver a few lines alongside the stars. Seemingly enthused with the idea of film-making, Joe Strummer has been filming his own home movie in the area around his house. It's got a plot and everything and apparently Paul Simenon heads a cast made up of various Clash personnel. The band is officially a threepiece again, after drummer Terry Chimes left after their American tour was completed. They will go
into the studio soon to record a single and will begin on a new album soon after that.
