IDEA 
You know any musicians? After TFAoBG, we need to write Scanners: The Musical Stage Spectacular! |
I don't know any but a friend works at a radio station so he would. |

You gotta love that!  |
i really love how so much of the story is told through the music in this film, and that's not something you'd think of right away when talking about Scanners |
I dunno... Cronenberg/Shore always seem to really have a powerful under current in their musical collaborations. Then again, most of them sound so depressing and sinister.

You adapt the story and I'll write the lyrics, then we need someone to put them to music. |
