Fri Apr 20 2012 | Help needed for new Sting documentary on German TV

Sting CDs at eBay USA | eBay UK | eBay DE

Dear (German) Sting fans,

A German TV production company is currently working on a documentary about Sting for one of the biggest public German broadcasters. Our aim is to provide an insight on his career and life and portray the artist from his very first steps in the business to his greatest success. As we want our music documentary to be as versatile as possible we are looking for footage or photos of Sting. Maybe you have some remarkable pictures of him (it's important that you own the rights though), old newspaper articles you could scan or rare live-recordings you would like to share. Please send us a mail to stingdocumentary@gmail.com. We are looking forward to it!

Thu Apr 19 2012 | Sting’s suppressed Disney documentary leaked online

Sting CDs at eBay USA | eBay UK | eBay DE

A workprint of a lost documentary about the tumultuous making of Disney's 2000 animated The Emperor's New Groove appeared on YouTube some weeks ago, but was subsequently removed. The back story, via MousePlanet's Wade Sampson, prominently features Sting.

In 1997, musical performer and composer Sting was asked by the Walt Disney Company to write the music for a new animated feature called Kingdom of the Sun. It was to be directed by Roger Allers who was basking in the success of his work on The Lion King. Sting agreed, on the condition that his wife, filmmaker Trudie Styler, could document the process of the production with their own production company, Xingu Films.

The Sweatbox, whose title refers to the air-conditioning-bereft screening room Walt Disney set up to evaluate his employees' work, premiered at the 2002 Toronto Film Festival but has gone virtually unseen by the public ever since. Disney owns the rights and never officially released it.

It's basically a too-many-cooks-in-the-kitchen story about sensitive creative types and the people in charge who have to tell them, "No." Anyone who's been edited knows the story. And, spoiler alert, even Sting, who ends up the loudest voice of displeasure in the whole movie, comes around: "As much as I've bitched and moaned about having to write for a committee, and having a censor, an artistic censor, every time I've had to go back and work it, it's better...So, if I'm being honest, I have to say the process does work."

We watched and enjoyed it.

Note: The film "The Emperor's New Groove" received an Academy Award nomination for Best Song for "My Funny Friend and Me" performed by Sting, but lost against "Things Have Changed" by Bob Dylan from Wonder Boys.

Thu Apr 19 2012 | Sting at Newsies musical

Sting CDs at eBay USA | eBay UK | eBay DE

Sting and Trudie Styler attended the Broadway production of the new musical Newsies at the Nederlander Theatre this past weekend.

Set in New York City at the turn of the century, Newsies, with music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Jack Feldman, and a book by Harvey Fierstein, tells the story of Jack Kelly (played by Jordan), a charismatic newsboy and leader of a ragged band of teenaged 'newsies,' who dreams only of a better life far from the hardship of the streets.

A nice picture of Jeremy Jordan and Kara Lindsay posing with Sting and trudie can be found here.
