Bowie Songs On Life Aquatic Soundtrack

Looking For Water...

Wes Anderson's upcoming comedy, The Life Aquatic, (which we first pointed you at the original online trailer of yonks ago) features a few David Bowie songs on the soundtrack.

There are whispers from our BowieNet spy in the field, (who has already seen a screening) that there are some interesting foreign language covers (Spanish/Portuguese?) by one of the actors in the film, Seu Jorge. We think that was him in the original trailer performing the acoustic guitar riff of Starman.

You can view the latest trailers (which also include snippets of the original Bowie songs, Queen Bitch, Starman and Rebel Rebel) on the revamped site by clicking on the image above. Have a good look around, as the site is still under construction, with new stuff being added all the time.

The Life Aquatic will be released in Los Angeles and New York theatres on December 10th and it will go nationwide in the US on Christmas Day. I'll keep you updated with other territory release dates and any more information on Bowie songs used in the film, and, indeed, on the soundtrack album, as the information becomes available.

The film, which includes an impressive cast of Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Owen Wilson, Anjelica Huston, Willem Dafoe, Robyn Cohen, Bud Cort, Michael Gambon, Jeff Goldblum, Seu Jorge, Noah Taylor and Pawel Wdowczak, is also being advertised in cinemas now.
