Hi
A search for 808 at imdb.com gives two hits.
One of which, of course, is 24 Hour Party People. The other is this
Splendor (1999)
- "King Of Comedy (808 State Remix)"
Remixed By 808 State
Totally unknown to me, what about you?
808 @ imdb.com
Moderators: Ancodia, Pob, markus, nickking

King of Comedy is the REM track 808 remixed.
Splendor
I assume the reason we haven't heard of this is purely because the movie is crap (3/20) and the only good thing is 808's remix on the soundtrack.
As this was REM's track they are quite entitled to licence it for the soundtrack of any movie, even crap ones like Splendor.
The following also taken from the IMDB website (searching for 'Splender')

Um, this movie wasn't so good. It started out mediocre, before dropping into bad pretty quick. I think Kathleen Robertson was beautiful and played the role right. She was the highlight. She could've easily been over-dramatic and cheesy, but she wasn't. Kudos. She must've learned something from 90210. The story should've been more about the relationship and the struggle to make it work and more sociology, but throwing the pregnancy and that movie director guy into it were just huge, uncreative cop-outs in telling the story. The writer should be ashamed.

A-ha, so the 808 State remix of REM is on the film but not on the Splendor soundtrack album? At least it's not listed here http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ ... 41-1402314
The track, if anyone is interested, appears on a REM German promo 12" with two 808 mixes of 'King Of Comedy', and one of the mixes also appears on the REM CD single of 'Electrolite'
I've never actually seen the film, but I did know that New Order was on the soundtrack, so had actually heard of it...
