I think that the reality now is that Jim may very well be concentrating on the BAT musical, but I doubt it will ever really amount to anything. Imagine Jim coming to you with a business proposition, and you not really know Jim all that well, only that he was somewhat successful in the past few years but has not done anything monumental since WDTW. After you realize the ALW is not involved and Meat is not part of it, are you really going to throw money into it? | |
