How Sharp Objects landed four Led Zeppelin songs

Variety

Showrunner Jean-Marc Vallée was rejected by the legendary band for the use of one song for his 2011 movie Café de Flore. So when he approached Jimmy Page and Robert Plant for Sharp Objects, "we went for four tracks, and we sold the idea to them that they will be the sound of this series, so of course that was something special and different.... We sent the script and very specific descriptions of how we’re using their music, and the in-scape element coming from Alice. And it worked." Vallée also admits having a backup plan to go with another rock band. ALSO: Vallée and music supervisor Susan Jacobs explain the clues in the soundtrack.
