higher quality quicktime trailer now up.

So, Julie Taymor, for those of you who don't recognize her name, is the brilliant director who did "Titus", "Frida", and the awesome "The Lion King" on Broadway.

Ah, I did love Titus. I've refused to watch Frida though, but that's purely to spite my brother-in-law, who loves that movie and is a complete and utter knob of epic proportions.

Loved the visuals in the trailer, but some of the arrangements of the songs sounded a bit iffy to my ears.

This looks absolutely amazing!!!!!

Thank you C!!!!

It looks wiggy.

The movie's website lists Bono as an actor, playing the character "Dr. Robert"...

And that "Liverpudlian" guy's accent is very, very odd.

I sense that it may make more sense when stoned.

She's a friggin' genius. I can't wait 2 see the movie.

oh lawd, gotta see this! Looks good. Maybe one day I can make a conceptual Prince music movie... hmmm....

what songs/music?

ufoclub said:

it was your idea, i don't want to take it from you. what would you do?

cborgman said:

I've been thinking of fragments since 1993... in a weird way his celebrations concept kind of reinforced a certain part of the film I imagine....

ufoclub said:

what characters would you do?

cborgman said:

of course it would be a young FEMALE ambitious, sometimes evil, protagonist.
