I dunno, take a look around the web and maybe you'll find something.

I did too! lol, swinging from a lamp post, actually. And I'm not kidding...

I waved at him and he started to run after me so I started to run myself.
And I'm not lying there either. Lol. The lady I was with and I were guessing who it was...I thought that it was some sort of promotion, and she thought that it was just an actor trying to get attention of some sort.

When it comes to Warner Bros., it's a lost cause. Batman and Vampire Lestat have disappeared off the entire face of the planet. Lloyd Webber bought back the film rights for Phantom and now it is about to be released. Elton has continued with Billy Elliot and Steinman has disappeared somewhat mysteriously. I was quite looking forward to Batman, and I guess the only way I'd see it is if Steinman bought the rights for his own production or Warner Bros. had a miracle. Then again, with the lack of new musicals from Disney, Warner Bros. have no one to compete with, and my guess is - with the latest rumour - Spiderman was just a publicity stunt. It'll blow over like everything else... even if the writers are foolish enough to complete a first draft

See what happens when you let Hollywood into Broadway!
Everything becomes a mass of rumours and flops
What was that bog round red bicycle thing I saw him riding with a group of people? How do you get to ride that thing? Every time I saw it, I wanted to ride it.
Batman is one project I am not sorry has not materialised and I hope Spiderman suffers the same fate as I just don't think they would work. At all. Vampire Lestat might just about pull it off, but my guess is the humungous flop that was Queen Of The Damned, the swift demise of Dance Of The Vampires and Dracula's less than stellar reception have got everyone involved running scared.
I'm thinkin' we may have overstretched the "sucking blood" novelty lately...but I'd still be interested in Lestat! What a great character...and the movie was homoerotically HOT! I mean HOT!

No Lestat. I would rather Batman. 1) It's by Jim Steinman, the one and only... if you ignore what became of his majestic Tanz der Vampire. 2) It was the first major film announced for a musical adaptation at the turn-of-the-century. It deserves that novelty and it deserves justice. 3) Steinman's no fool. U2 are. They're completely hopeless and a-typical. Steinman's a legend. He really knows his stuff. Take a listen to Tanz. Take a listen to Dream Engine. Go and find out all his early stuff with the New York Shakespeare Festival. He's a living incarnate of Orson Welles. His ideal of Batman is not the typical image most of you seem to have: He said himself, he envisions it in a Brecht sense. Judging from the shows I've seen by Brecht, this would allow for some crazy routines, and particular the icy dealers and business moguls of Gotham City. Showing a world of black and white, despondent 'pirates' and financiers would be awesome. Steinman has this combined image of classical Brecht, a demon rising out of Hell with the city behind him, and just a very mythic, heightened and classical approach. He has always been against the obvious, unlike all of the other contendors for Warner Bros. musicals. Which do you like better? An eclectic Tanz der Vampire? Or a constant "in 4-4 time" Aida? The drear of U2 or the majesty of Bat Out of Hell?
