I wish I had come along when the studios were making those big musical pictures. It would be great to do re-makes of some of the old ones like 'Porgy and Bess' or 'Showboat.' I'd love to do 'em.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
But I wish they would make a musical of some kind. I miss musicals so much. You don't see them anymore.
I'm always looking for a kind of new musical entity to sort of move into a motion picture venue.
I really, really love new work, and that's why, you know, I produced a concert series supporting new musicals and stuff like that. I hope to do more things like that.
I would like to have directed Hollywood musicals in the '40s and '50s.
I'd seen the current stage production and the 1975 production of Chicago. I liked them both very much, but I didn't use them necessarily as inspiration.
I wouldn't want to cover a Hank Williams song in a country-western way. It doesn't occur to me instinctually to re-create productions. I'm interested in re-creating songs. Putting different clothes on them.
It would be great to make a movie that had the style of a great '30's film.
I'd love to do a film like 'Chicago.' Something musical because I've obviously come from that background.
I'd love to do a musical. I have a little list of them in my head.
I wanted to make something that reminded people of the way albums used to feel. I wanted something as good as the stuff put out by the Bomb Squad, or Dr. Dre and his production crew, or 'A Tribe Called Quest.' I miss albums like those.
