| Well, yes, I know how a movie gets made :-) but the challenge in this idea isn't the logistics, it's the performance. And one of the many reasons this idea wouldn't fly is that it would just be silly. Like, Cats the movie silly. | |

| Exactly. Stine and Stone are two different guys. They shouldn't look like identical twins -- that would just be an unnecessary distraction. What noted fiction writer has ever used his own picture or likeness as the face of his main character, unless the story is a camouflaged autobiography? Has that ever been the intent of City of Angels? I think it would be a mistake to take such a radical approach when committing to film such a well-regarded stage musical. Just IMO. | |

| But then how come every other character in the "real life" part of the show has a counterpart in the film part played by the same actor? Are you saying that's silly too? Isn't that actually ignoring the entire conceit of the show? In that sense, I think the movie version of the show would be able to do the one thing the stage show couldn't - give Stine his screen counterpart. |
