New York, New York (PRINSIDE.COM) July 29, 2008 - Coming off $200 million in worldwide ticket sales for the smash hit musical 'Hairspray,' director Adam Shankman has been tapped to direct and choreograph a new musical based on the popular music of the iconic Eighties band ELO (Electric Light Orchestra).
Feel the need to punish yourself more? Click away for the entire sorry report.
Eighties band? ELO are known primarily for their 70s masterpieces. What the hell? And why are they being saddled with such a crappy, superficial herd of people like the Trumps and Hiltons? I understand the need for camp when it comes to making a musical but, damn! Must we ELO fans endure the disgrace of glorifying outlandish wealth in a world going bankrupt before our very eyes? Doesn't Jeff Lynne deserve better than this shame?
Why can't there be a whimsical sci-fi musical made with ELO taking center stage? They're better equipped to score a sci-fi or fantasy film than a flick celebrating rich people who deserve to be beaten to death with a large safety deposit box. In the immortal words of Ren Hoek on Untamed World: "I'm going to be sick!"
