If you're intrigued by recent reports that Goldie may be providing the score for director Stanley Kubrick's next film, "Eyes Wide Shut," you're not the only one.
Goldie himself is rather excited about the news, as he told us recently during a visit to our Times Square studio.
"This is freaking me out, because I've been hearing a lot about this now," the jungle music maven told MTV News of reports that he may get to work with Kubrick, the visionary behind films like "2001: A Space Odyssey," "Dr. Strangelove," "A Clockwork Orange," and "The Shining."
"I'm waiting to speak to his people, because I'm trying to get my hands on Stanley," Goldie said.
Reports of the possible union first surfaced last month (see "Goldie A Possibility For 'Eyes Wide Shut' Score"), and Goldie's camp kept mum on the news at the time. However, Goldie seemed optimistic when speaking with MTV News about the chance to score "Eyes Wide Shut," which stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.
"He obviously doesn't film out a lot," Goldie said of the notoriously secretive and demanding director. "He doesn't go out a lot to do anything, but they've been doing the film and stuff. Hopefully that'll be a good thing. I mean, I grew up on a lot of those Kubrick films. They were like cult films to me... '2001' and that sh** really freaked me out. The last 15 minutes and sh**, the monolith and stuff... [700k QuickTime] that would be real good because he's very cutting edge, very very cutting edge, and a perfectionist at what he does. I'll just take that in stride. If it happens, it happens, but I'm really into that whole... for him to sit and make a film for as long as he's been making it, man. That's got to be a good project."
There's no word from Goldie's camp if the partnership has come to pass, but we'll keep you posted.
