There's a huge part of me that really wants to make a musical. If I am honest musical is probably one of the genres with the most rewatchable films if done right- Rock n Roll High School, Cabaret etc.- I was thinking I'd love to make a musical in the Moulin Rouge!/Romance and Cigarettes (even The Singing Detective series vain) using pop songs that already exist. I've been half writing something based in my home town of Hull. Obviously music rights would be an issue but there's an whole bunch of songs by The Shangrai-La's, Leonard Cohen, 10cc, Aerosmith and even Julie Brown that fill the whole story rather well, I'll call it a pipe-dream until I've got enough Hollywood clout. **Just realised I mentioned the very underrated Romance and Cigarettes in my post. I understand it's had trouble getting an American DVD release which is a shame it's been out in the U.K. for over a year now I think. Probably just worth it for Kate Winslet's performance and Christopher Walken's Deliah dance number.
