| That's very interesting. Even though you are a scriptwriter who deals with dialogue, Jim inspires you because his lyrics are like dialogue and like you, he deals with character development and stories. Am I understanding correctly? If you look at the "Bat Out Of Hell" songs, would you say that they are a collection of short stories or are they more like a complete film? Can you see the "Neverland" story in there? Also, do you like Jim as a scriptwriter, when he is writing dialogue and not songs? I would guess that his speeches also inspire you. Do you think that the speeches are like a separate art form or are they intrinsically linked to Jim's lyrics, music and written dialogue? I think the music also helps to develop charatcer and storyline. Perhaps that is stating the bleeding obvious. What screen writers have influenced you? It is cool that you think the old "Twilight Zones" were well written. If I was a screenwriter like you, I would absolutley be influenced by Rod Serling's work. Did you want to be the head writer of Doctor Who because of the qulaity of the writing or was it just the gay references thing? As far as Jim turning his talents to TV and film, can we count the MTV musical "Wuthering Heights"? Or is that something we shouldn't mention? When Jim was posting as "Wagner" he said: "I doubt you care that Thursday I met with the two top people @ DISNEY TV concerning BIKERRS OF THE ROUND TABLE, which was terrifically successful!! They definitely want to do it! The problem is they demand ALL publishing, which is tuff since 6 years ago I sold ALL OF IT to Carlin Music! But we're sttil trying to work it out!!" So I think that Jim is interested in TV and hopefully film as well. As you probably know, Jim has blogged ages ago about the possibility of working on a film with the screenwriter Stuart Beattie (who wrote the scripts for the "Pirates Of The Caribbean" films). Have you ever thought of writing something on spec that incorporates some of Jim's songs? | |
