#GARY GLITTER ROYALTIES MOVIE#
Gary Glitters song features in the new movie The Joker. Gary Glitter does not get paid, Snapper told the Los Angeles Times. It seems that Todd Phillips was fully aware of this when making the movie and used it to his advantage to spark outrage within the movie and in the real-world. However, record label Snapper, who bought the convicted paedophiles back catalogue in 1997, said that the Gary Glitter will not get any royalties from The Joker. One critic calls the song choice the "most morally questionable" aspect of the movie as a whole. Most critics of Joker are angry over the fact that a convicted pedophile will receive money from the successful movie. It was used heavily in the NHL and NFL in North America, but it was later phased out completely.
The inclusion of 1972 hit Rock and Roll Part 2 has already earned him hundreds of thousands. Convicted pedophile Gary Glitter won’t be profiting from his 1972 stadium anthem Rock and Roll Part II being used in Joker, The New York Times reported on Thursday.
It's at this point that "Rock and Roll Part 2" was taken out of sports events from around the world. PAEDO Gary Glitter could lose future royalties from the use of one of his songs in the new Joker film. In 2015, Glitter was found guilty of attempted rape, four counts of indecent assault, and one count of having sex with a girl under the age of 13. Gary Glitter was arrested in the late 1990s for downloading child pornography. Convicted sex offender Gary Glitter stands to be paid thousands of pounds in royalties after the BBC aired a repeat of him performing on Top of the Pops in 1977. In addition, the movie uses child abuse as a plot device, making the song choice even more questionable. The main point of contention is that it is believed Gary Glitter, aka Paul Gadd, will receive a lump sum of royalties from the hit movie using a decent portion of his song. A number of songs could have been used in this portion of Joker and this choice almost seems to be a direct troll from director Todd Phillips, who had to have known it would cause some controversy. "Rock and Roll Part 2" is mostly instrumental and is used as Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck dances down some stairs after his transformation. However, that all changed once Glitter's legal problems became public news. The song, which was written in and recorded in 1972, was written by Glitter and producer Mike Leander and was used at sporting events all over the world for nearly 30 years. "Rock and Roll Part 2" is shown during a pivotal scene in the movie where Arthur Fleck makes his transformation into the Clown Prince of Crime. Todd Phillips's choice to use convicted pedophile Gary Glitter's music in Joker has caused further backlash.
