Looking for an lesser-known John Carpenter Film

[Juice Box]

Looking for the movie "Stealth Bomber" by John Carpenter. It stars Kurt Russell.

reason I am looking is one of my favorite bands (65daysofstatic) did the soundtrack for the movie, and I kinda want to see it and see how their music fits with film.


So far no luck

Taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/65_days_of_static

The band was originally formed in 2001 as a three-piece, consisting of Joe-Fro, Paul Wolinski, and Iain Armstrong (bass guitar) to provide the soundtrack for the unreleased and little known John Carpenter film 'Stealth Bomber' starring Kurt Russell. The film was set over '65 Days of Static' a period of time after some unknown global breakdown in communications and infrastructure, from which 65daysofstatic took their name.

edit: Here is a sample of their music; 65daysofstatic - A Massive Star at the end of its Burning Cycle

you should be looking for an grammar class

I can't believe I've never even heard of this movie. I am a big John Carpenter fan, too . . .

EDIT: The only references I can find to this movie ever even existing relate to that band, and call it "unreleased and little known." I imagine it was never finished, or you'd think it would at least have been released to video.

John Carpenter

Kurt Russell

IMDB doesn't have an entry named "Stealth Bomber" for either John Carpenter or Kurt Russell. I think you may be mistaken about some of your facts.

I was given a tip that it may in fact be the JC film "Escape from New York"

Anyone seen this film before?

That wouldn't make any sense. That movie came out so long ago it would be likelier that U2 had formed to create its soundtrack. IIRC it came out in the early '80s, probably around the time the members of this band were born.

Just because it says something on Wiki does not make it true....

I'm a big John Carpenter/Kurt Russell fan too and I've never heard of this movie.

Yeah, you'd think IMDB would have something about it even if it had been scrapped during production. It almost makes me wonder whether band is making some kind of joke - doesn't Carpenter normally score his own movies anyway?

Yup, usually. Speaking of Carpenter/Russell I just watched 'The Thing' again last weekend. I love that movie.

I'm gonna go with shens.

This whole thing makes no sense...but then again, i don't know why a band would make something like that up, when it can easily be proven false

Again, it sounds to me like it might be a joke. It doesn't really make sense that JC would hire a then-nonexistent (or at least unnamed) band for his soundtrack, and they they would then name themselves based on the plot of the movie.

The only movie I can think of with Kurt Russell and a stealth is Executive Decision.
