The Coldpaly song 'Miracles' features in the soundtrack of the new film by Angelina Jolie; Unbroken. Her and husband Brad PItt apparently were very keen to have them work on her movie.
When Martin was asked how the project came about, he said: "I got a message that said, 'Meet in this undisclosed location. You'll be blindfolded and picked up by seven ex-Navy SEALs.'
"So they kidnapped me, hit me over the head, and sprayed me with Mace. When I woke up, I was in an office, and Brad Pitt was doing push-ups as Angelina Jolie was just sitting there with her crown on.
"There was also a guy holding a knife to my throat, and she said, 'Write me a song, or else.' And Brad Pitt said, 'Yeah. What she said.' "
He also said that they were not guaranteed a spot on the CD right away and had to wait for the verdict.
He added to Vulture: "We wrote a song and then she said, 'It's through to the final eight,' and then we had live eliminations at her house.
"We came in second, but the main guy chickened out."
