Moving Pictures (band) - Legacy

Legacy

"What About Me" returned to the top of the Australian music charts in early 2004, as a virtually identical cover version by Australian Idol runner up Shannon Noll.

In 2000 BMG Australia released a remaster of Days of Innocence, titled Days Of Innocence - The Ultimate Collection, a collection of all the tracks from the entire Days of Innocence album (reproducing its original cover art), with the addition of almost a full album's worth of bonus tracks including a couple non-LP single sides and highlights from the Matinee album including "Never".

In 2005 Moving Pictures reformed, although the only original members in this line-up were Alex Smith and Charlie Cole, who were joined by Dave Carter, for 26 acoustic performances throughout New South Wales and Queensland.

Their song "Never" was used as part of the soundtrack for the 1984 film "Footloose" & 2007 film Hot Rod.

Interestingly, in repeated interviews with the band, they have indicated that due to the bankruptcy of their US record company, and unfortunate timing of the release of the single "Never", Moving Pictures never received any royalties whatsoever for the song, for inclusion in the movie Footloose, or the subsequent highly-selling soundtrack.
