| Pearson charms Attenborough
SYDNEY singer Amy Pearson has scored herself a leading movie role, singing the title track for Mischa Barton's new big budget film, Closing The Ring.
Director Richard Attenborough was so impressed by Pearson's take on the Chris Porter-penned tune - Lost Without Your Love - that he flew her to Belfast for the film's international premiere last week.
Initially the track was to simply appear on the film soundtrack, but Attenborough was so taken by Pearson's voice that he recalled prints of the film at the last minute to add the track to it.
Attenborough personally invited Pearson to perform the song at the film's premiere, which was also attended by fellow cast members Shirley MacLaine and Neve Campbell.
Barton is likely to walk the red carpet in Sydney for the film's premiere in February, where Pearson should also perform the song.
Pearson was discovered in her home town of Birmingham in the UK by Sony BMG Australia's artist and repertoire director, Jay Dee Springbett, and has spent the past few years working on her debut album.
The song will feature as a bonus track on Pearson's album when it is released next April.
And it will no doubt increase Pearson's chances of having the album released in the UK.
