Memphis, Rogers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella (with Douglas Carter Beane’s script), Next to Normal, Nice Work If You Can Get It and the King and I (get the Asian casting right)
I would LOVE to see Wicked as a movie. I’m not a big fan of the show, but I feel like the special effects would translate nicely on screen. I also feel that Once on This Island would be awesome on screen, especially with the gods and the little girl.
You all are wrong, only one show deserves the Hollywood treatment and that show is FREAKIN STARLIGHT EXPRESS! Here’s my dream team!
Director-Micheal Bay Reworked lyrics and music-Chad Kroeger Adapted screenplay-James Gunn
James Franco-Rusty Bill Cosby-Poppa Danny Masterson-Greaseball Kevin Spacey-Electra Seal-Coco/bobo Randy Quaid-Expresso Andy Dick-ICE Scarlett Johansson-Turnov (enphasis on the Trans-Siberian railway) Cupcakke-Manga Louis C.K.-Brexit
And of course my favorite casting of all
Danielle Bregoli-Control/young child
The tag line for my movie is “DREAM BIG” and that’s just what my stellar cast of “second chances” are here to do. I will now accept my check for creating the most spectacular movie musical to ever to grace the silver screen, please and thank you.
My father (AIDS)
My sister (AIDS)
My uncle and my cousin and her best friend (AIDS, AIDS, AIDS)
The gays and the straights
And the white and the spades
Aronofsky would make a very interesting film, but my pitch is this: Wes Anderson directs a film version starring Colin Meloy as Pierre with the rest of The Decemberists as the orchestra.
SUNSET BOULEVARD with Streisand.....twenty years ago. I'm having trouble casting it with a current actress in her fifties who could act and sing the hell out of the role.
FOLLIES.....With reuniting and bringing back old time movie favorites of the 50's and 60's like Pat Boone, Ann Margaret, Tommy Sands, Connie Francis etc.
Follies and Miss Saigon (obviously), but so far no one’s mentioned Fun Home which, I think with the right team, would translate very well on the screen.
