"Is Oliver Stone looking to get into musicals? After Page Six reported Justin Timberlake had expressed interest in bringing the Broadway show "Memphis" to the big screen, we were told the "Wall Street 2" director is also interested in the project. "He saw it two times in a week," says our source. "He's also taken a number of meetings with David Bryan" (the Bon Jovi keyboard player who co-wrote the music and lyrics). A rep for Stone said, "He's thinking about it."

Not the first time. He was also attached to Evita during its several years in development hell, and was granted a credit on the screenplay by the WGA because of some sort of arbitration dispute.

Anybody want to start guessing what conspiracy theory he's going to fold into the plot?


"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

There is such a thing as beating a dead horse...something that seems to go on around here on a regular basis.

I'm trying to figure out how he'll include the Vietnam War in it.

I really wish that Oliver Stone would stop thinking about anything.

Oliver Stone hasn't thought about anything in decades.
