www.savedmovie.com/New movie coming out this weekend I think. Produced by Michael Stipe, starring Macauley Culkin and Mandy Moore. I think it's abotu some Christian high school where a girl gets pregnant and they shun her but it looks like a comedy so I'm not real sure. But someone who saw a screening sent me a note that they use Mats songs -- At the prom, the band plays "We'll Inherit the Earth." And then Mandy Moore gets up and says something like "We WILL inherit the earth!" Maybe she'll cover the Mats on her next CD. "Skyway" is also used in the movie.

Actually doesn't look all that bad. Hopefully will be a little like "Election".

Very cool but didn't Paul sell the publishing from his replacements days awhile back? If that's the case I think its a travesty in the same sense that Paul Mccartney owns Buddy Holly's catalog of perfect songs!. Paul wrote the music and others will benefit from it being included in a movie 15 years after it was released. [Rant over]
Funny they're using 'We'll inherit the earth", I just listened to it for the first time today since cassette tapes and figured it out on guitar...
D-C-G-B# verse (I think its played with a capo on the 2nd fret).
What a great song...Flo

I'm looking forward to this too. Michael Stipe and Mandy Moore do a duet of the Beach Boys' 'God Only Knows' on the soundtrack. Weird indeed. Cool that a Mats song is in the film.

It looks pretty good from the trailer but I am a sucker for a movie dripping with sarcasm and with an edge. The inclusion of the Mats stuff would make it that much better.

Wasn't "Skyway" just in a movie last year?
Saved was featured a few weeks ago on Anatomy Of A Scene, (the scene featured was when the jewish girl starts speaking in tongues during the assembly.), and it seems like it's pretty funny.

"Skyway" was in a movie called CAMP about a theater camp. It's played when the lead kid has to take his obsessive compulsive disorder pills. It didn't really seem to fit. Odd flick, but interesting.

I saw a trailer for this film and I thought it looked like it could be great. Now that I hear they are using Mats songs it sounds even better. My only concern about it is that Mandy Moore has about as much of an edge as a volleyball. It looks like a dark comedy and I don't know if she can pull it off. I'd like to see it at this point though.

I saw the trailer for this and thought it looked really stupid and obvious, but maybe I'm wrong. Tentative props for using Mats tunes, though.
