Attention @ everyone who finally watched Saltburn over the holiday break (prayers to those of you who made the mistake of doing so with your parents) and now has "Murder on the Dance Floor" stuck in their head:
Sophie Ellis-Bextor just recreated Barry Keoghan’s nude dance to her iconic song to ring in 2024. (Note: She remained clothed but *did* put on a pair of antlers for good measure.)
Incredible. And if you're wondering how Sophie feels about her 2001 hit being used in the movie, she recently dished to People that she "wasn't quite prepared for the visual," and added that "Seeing it written down as a premise is different. I mean, Barry really went for it. And it's, like, the whole song!"
"Whenever your music's used, you get a little synopsis," she continued. "So I saw Emerald's name connected to the project and I already was familiar with her and how talented she is. I've seen Promising Young Woman and really enjoyed it. This little synopsis described how the character would be dancing, but I didn't have any context. I've got quite a quirky sense of humor anyway, so I was like, I think I have to see how this plays out."
"I didn't really know exactly how it would play in terms of the role it was in the movie until I saw it at the screening, but I absolutely loved it. I think it's such a clever, funny, smart film. I really enjoyed it," Sophie then noted.
Reminder that Saltburn is playing on Prime, just in case you haven't seen it / everyone chatting about the bathtub scene is making you feel left out.
