| This sounds awesome, some of thes quotes are new to me, cant belive I missed those blogs. By the sounds of it Jim is really slaving away to make the musical the epic that it should be, I cant wait to see it and to see Jim's attempt at a long, multi threaded narrative. I was watching a history of Horror with Mark Gatiss on I player earlier tonight (Those who live in the UK should check it out) and it delved quite deeply into Bela Lugosi and how he never really got the recognition he craved (and deserved) this cannot and should not happen to Jim, so I hope he really pulls his finger and gets the musical made......and then let me make the movie :). (Also, in my original post I meant to say how aweosme it would be if Jim had the money and creative control to make a movie, just though I'd clear that up.) > An old blog from Jim. I really hope it becomes a reality. > I especially want to see the motorcycle ballet. Stuart has > nothing like that in his scripts. I prefer Jim's > imagination. That's why Jim got together with Elva in the > first place.
