In movies yesterday...

While waiting for "sideways" to begin, the screen showed slides of different movie/music trivia. The one that struck me as something I didn't know, was the fact that Michael Jackson was asked to do the soundtrack for the original "Batman" movie, but Prince wound up doing the music. Hmmmm.I didn't know that.

I wonder where they got that information from. Because I recall another interview with Tim Burton where it mentioned he hounded Prince to do the soundtrack, despite Prince not being interested in it at first.

I heard that before they could convince him they would rehearse certain scenes with 1999 playing

I heard that Jack Nicholson lobbied Prince to do it.
