This looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.

Bob follows a regular guy who, after a blow to the head, suddenly can hear the inner songs of everyone’s hearts as his reality is instantly turned into a musical, much to his dismay. Marc Shaiman, who composed the original music for Hairspray, is writing the music and lyrics for Bob.

One year later and finally some new developments. And by "one year later" I mean since the last time a trade has reported on this film. BOB THE MUSICAL has been in the works since 2005!!! At one point, Will Ferrell was set to star. Then Steve Carrell. Then Justin Timberlake.

Next BOB disappeared until Marc Shaiman and Adam Shankman were took over and were going to do this together. Now yet ANOTHER change in writers and director.

Some projects just a long time to develop.

... which is usually a sign that it's in so much trouble, no one knows how to fix it.

Nineties Disney cartoon Pepper Anndid the same plot too... she fell off the stage and got a concussion while auditioning for her high school's musical. After that, EVERYTHING was a musical.

Because when I think mild-mannered everyman, I think gorgeous and insane Tom Cruise.

I can't even look at him anymore.

For some reason he gives me the creeps now.

When I saw Jeremy Kushnier in Othello, his mannerisms and weird insanity made me think of Tom Cruise, though he looked nothing at all like him.

Well in all fairness to Tom he did well in Rock of Ages.
