He Shoulda Gotten A Screenshot...
(subconscious: The King Of Cups)
John Debney, who composed the music for �The Passion of the Christ,� says he did battle with Satan while scoring the flick.
Debney had written music for a number of movies such as �Liar, Liar,� �Spy Kids,� and �I Know What You Did Last Summer� � but he says he was visited by the devil while writing the score for the film about the last hours of Jesus Christ.
�I had never before subscribed to the idea that maybe Satan is a real person, but I can attest that he was in my room a lot and I know that he hit everyone on this production,� Debney said, according to a lengthy interview that ran on Assist News Service, a Christian news agency.
Debney claims that Satan�s image kept appearing on his computer screen while he was trying to compose music. �The first time it happened, it scared me,� he said. �Once I got over the initial shock of that, I learned to work around it and learned to reboot the computers and so I would start talking to him. . . . The computers froze for about the tenth time [one] day and it was about nine o�clock at night and so I got really mad and I told Satan to manifest himself and I said, �Let�s go out into the parking lot and let�s go.� It was a seed change in me. I knew that this was war. I am not a physical person, but I was really angry on this occasion.�
Debney�s spokesman confirms to The Scoop that the composer did, indeed, say those things.
