Moulin Rouge for a movie
Flowers in the Attic for a book. I dunno how it would work, but I love that book.

Flowers In The Attic is a must only if Fran Weissler throws in the producing towel for acting and plays the grandmother.

Moulin Rouge, TOTALLY. (And I bet that set-wise, it's feasible, but the royalties for the song rights would be astronomical!)

As for books...hmm...

Yes! And Matt still looks young enough to play Ferris. Well, if not him, who could play the characters?

Ferris: Dunno.
Sloane: Kerry Butler
Cameron: Dunno.
Principal Rooney: Michael McKean

Alan Ruck could reprise his role.

Hes doing the Producer tour now isnt he? So he can sing.

A Ferris Bueller musical would be hilarious too. My Big Fat Greek Wedding might translate into a good musical.

Yeah, Ruck could, but he looks a little older playing the part. Broderick may be able to do it, he has aged fine. BTW, saw Ruck in the tour and he was great...going to be in the Producers Broadway version in January.

I definitly agree with two of the ones mention, "Moulin Rouge" and "Nightmare Before Christmas", but I still want to add one to that. I know this may sound wierd but think about it, I could seriously see a musical version of "Pirates of the Carribean". In terms of a book, Murder In the Cathedral is pretty awesome! Anyhoo, just my two cents!

Later!
