If you could direct any movie musical.....

Posted: 4/11/06 at 7:23pm

including a remake of a movie musical, which would it be? I'll be ambitious:

Les Miserables!



Which would you choose?

I am confused by feminisim, because if you disapprove of men so much why wash off the make-up, crop the hair and slap on the boiler suit in order to resemble the rotters?

I have always had a very strong pictuer in my head of what the Into the Woods movie would be like, so that would be my top choice.

And besides that it would be either Ragtime or Parade...a movie with great scope and a sort of epic feel.

I agree with Akiva; I've always thought Ragtime and Parade would be amazing, just because they have the potential to be so epic in scale.

I'd also love to do Jekyll & Hyde!

Tommy. To make up for the horrifying acid trip that was the original movie.
