| Wolf, Rupert posted some interesting comments way down the board. I'm not sure if you have seen them. I would be interested to know what you think. I don't agree with everything he is saying but I do agree that "Paradise" has to be included in any "BOOH" musical. The fans will rebel if its not in there somewhere. At the moment it is sung by older characters, although there is the flashback that Rupert talks about, involving younger dancers acting out what Hook and Mrs. Hook are singing. Maybe you will have another idea of what to do with "Paradise" in the treatment you are thinking about doing. I can't agree with Rupert when he says that the story shouldn't be set in the future. To me the future sets this "Peter Pan" apart from hunderds of other "Peter Pan"s. Unless I am wrong and there has already been a "Peter Pan" set in the future. Although Stuart Beattie agrees with Rupert. He thinks that the "BOOH" songs belong in the fifties. He doesn't think that people in the Year 3000 will sound like that. He doesn't like "Peter Pan" anyway, no matter what time period it is set in but when he tried doing a futuristic story about avatars it just didn't work. Rupert wrote: "I would say that there is a narrative in Jim's work that stiches a number of songs together however I think Carlin or other powers that be that infulence the money people are not convinced that the audio and the visual are locking together here. For example I would say that Paradise has to be in any film or musical but set in the future! No banker is buying that dream unless it is a flashback or something! Jim's soundtrack is in the seventies and beforehand, BAT 2 updated the sound to the eighties but that was about it. Got the feeling that Jim is forcing a square peg into a round hole. Money people tend to want something that sits well on their stomachs otherwise they throw up. They are not stomaching this futureistic concept (why does have to be set in the future - is that so important?) so who is going to compromise first or are they waiting for Jim to kick the bucket or something. That would be very sad and then we really would be letting the monster loose. Some compromise please gents. I would like to proven wrong as well." | |
