So it was a very natural fit, and as you know, and everybody at Collider knows, film is a very collaborative medium, and for somebody in a band, one of the many things I love about the creative process of film is the collaborative element.
And the director, Jaume Collet-Serra, is a Spanish gentleman who has obviously made some incredible films, and Metallica has also been part of his journey.
"I got a chance to meet James before we did this, and he's such a generous, collaborative spirit. Howard is an eight-time Oscar nominee, having been recognized for films such as The Fugitive, Michael Clayton and The Village, and working with him was a big part of the appeal for Ulrich - a major film buff, as you'll soon learn. This was the right fit, with Sean leading the calvary, and with James Newton Howard and his track record, and what he's done." My wife and I are big Disney fans, so there's a great friendship there, and he's always looked for the right match where there was a way that Metallica could contribute to some project of theirs. "I think he's always been a Metallica fan, and we've gotten to know each other well. "It really goes back to Sean Bailey, who is a lifelong rock fan, and is just all-around one of the greatest, most friendly, generous, warm, and embracing people you'll find in the music business," said Ulrich. The idea of Metallica working on a Disney movie is sure to raise some eyebrows among longtime fans of the band, but it makes a lot more sense when Ulrich explains how it all came to be.
Metallica is working with Jungle Cruise composer James Newton Howard on an orchestral version of "Nothing Else Matters" that will play a key part in next year's Dwayne Johnson- Emily Blunt movie, and the band's legendary drummer Lars Ulrich offered his first thoughts on the collaboration in an upcoming interview with Collider pegged to the recent release of S&M 2.
