Johnny Marr's Epic Soundtracks

Anyone who's been to see Christopher Nolan's current movie Inception will realise the importance of Hans Zimmer's soundtrack and the key role played by Johnny Marr's "churning" guitar. Suitably impressed, MOJO's resident soundtrack nut Andrew Male quizzed Johnny.

Johnny Marr 'Inception' Soundtrack Couldn't Have Happened Without Johnny Marr

MTV news has an Interview with Johnny and Hans Zimmer.

"What happened was I kept writing this tune, and I kept hearing Johnny Marr play it," Zimmer told MTV News' Kara Warner at the premiere of "Inception" last week. "Finally, I said to Chris [Nolan], 'What do you think of this idea? I'm like channeling Johnny Marr by now.' And he said it was a great idea." Had Zimmer and Nolan not brought in Marr (who declared the project "a dream come true"), the entire film might have felt different. "I don't think anybody else could have done it," Zimmer said of Marr's work. "It wouldn't have worked otherwise, and I was willing to throw out the tune if he said no."
