| October 13, 2004 - Everybody's favorite Scottish rock band of the moment, Franz Ferdinand, may be shifting their raucous, hip gears a bit and getting into the wild world of Hollywood filmmaking. At least on the soundtrack side of things, that is.
The band--Bob Hardy, Paul Thomson, Alex Kapranos, Nick McCarthy--have been approached to write some music for the upcoming fourth installment of the popular Harry Potter film franchise. And in a move the eerily mimicks the N'Snyc/Episode 2 rumors of the past, the band could potentially end up with a cameo in the film, as well.
According to an interview with VH1, frontman Alex Kapranos hinted that he and the rest of the FF gents have "been asked to write some music. There's a section where there's a band of ugly sisters playing and I think, well… some members of Franz Ferdinand may be the ugly sisters in the band."
This will not be the first time that the Harry Potter films have featured popular musicians in cameo spots. Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Azkaban
He continued: "There's an excitement and innocence about those films. I like how there's good and evil, and that's a clarity which is quite refreshing."
The most recent film, 'Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Azkaban', featured a cameo from Stone Roses' Ian Brown. | |
