"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.

Wow MEMPHIS is getting a lot of attention from Hollywood these days.

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

How could this possibly get any worse?

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.
