All singing, all dancing mission of the starship Enterprise. See Klingons tap dance. Hear Spock sing, “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.” LENS FLARE! LENS FLARE, people! Prepare to be dazzled beyond the rim of star-light! Live long and… scene.
Read it in high school. Sure, it’s a tough read, but I could tell it was great. And yes, I think it could be dramatized. War in Heaven? The Creation? Expulsion from Eden? Not word for word, but still, it could be great.
I haven’t read the entire thread, but if nobody’s suggested Scrappy Doo: The Prequel (or the anything, really) that would be my choice.
btw, why not lose money by making a good movie, e.g. Ivan the Terrible Part 3, or something original [believe me, I have you covered ], or anything else really as long as it is not a Hollywood-style movie.
(I know it’s been done, but not on the screen. The financial failure worked quite well on Broadway, $8 million and 5 performances. I’ve heard that every theater person in New York was calling all their friends night and day, screaming “You’ve GOT to go see this, quick before it closes.” I’d give anything to have been one of them.)
There’s actually a musical about the people of Gander, NFLD and their response to people from more than 100 countries coming to their city on 9/11. I only know this because it’s been playing in my city.
