"Groundhog Day"
My favourite movie and I heard that Sonheim thought about doing it, which would be unbelievable great!

"Mickey Blue Eyes"
It's funny and it would just fit into theatre.

Shall We Dance (richard gere and jlo film)

I always thought that Nightmare Before Christmas would work well as a dance piece accompanied by live singers - a bit like Movin' Out.

Exactly who I was thinking of (though more due to a lack of knowledge on my part of other choreographers who could do it justice). I'll never understand why he chose to do Edward Scissorhands when Nightmare just cries out for a stage adaption!!

CORPSE BRIDE. It had a lot of music in it already, so there is a lot of potential in that one! Too bad Maria Björnson passed away, it would have been amazing to see her designs on this one!

not strictly a film but a genius adaptation for the tv - angels in america. it sceams out to be musicalised

So is Silence of the Lambs. There's a website for it somewhere...

Not recommended for the young or those of a nervous disposition:

In the lead-up to the opening night of "Lestat", Gregg Maday (president of Warner Bros. Theater Ventures) mentioned a few upcoming projects (which the company would be developing): "Charlie & The Chocolate Factory" (since Warner Bros. own both movies, it'll be interesting to see which one they take to the boards), "HARRY POTTER" (Yep, scary. But I think it can be a kind'a 21st century Ring Cycle - if any of you here have heard of that legendary Wagner opera; Me, personally, if it was to be done, I'd HOPE they'd do it as a stage "play" spectacular WITHOUT any songs. It would just be HORRIBLE as a musical, IMO) and...

"BATMAN"

Legendary composer and songwriter, Jim Steinman, (creator of Meat Loaf's "Bat Out Of Hell" saga, Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart", the phenomenal German musical "Tanz der Vampire" and collaborator with Andrew Lloyd Webber on "Whistle Down the Wind") was first announced to create music & lyrics for this project, in 1998. Maday still says its in development. All other reports say it has been cancelled

This intriguing lost musical would have been staged as an out-of-town try-out in 2004, coming to Broadway in 2005; but Warner Bros. trialed their new "venture" with the dreaded LESTAT and, alas, Batman was never staged. Also, Steinman's musical "Dance of the Vampires" was trashed on Broadway which hindered all interest from Warner Bros. executives. Which is sad...

His score for the piece, from the demos I've heard, is one of the most heart-breaking I've ever heard in my life. It's like Rodgers & Hammerstein meets the 80s popera epics, and you can hear demos at the Multimedia section of www.jimsteinman.com

ALL details concerning the musical, (NO THIS IS NOT AN AD: I am an avid musical theatre fan, and can't resist promoting one of the most beautiful scores I've ever heard!) can be found at the DARK KNIGHT OF THE SOUL tribute to BATMAN THE MUSICAL:

I'd like nothing MORE to see this done one day, at least recorded as a concept album

EDIT: Tim Burton was going to direct this, as well
