More Soundtrack ideas

[peggy-2.livejournal.com]

well ok, ONE idea. But I'm sure there are others out there with some new songs to add to our next Sounis Mix.

I've been following the discussions on inkasrain 's post to Sounis a couple of days ago, and when this rolled around on my CD player today the lightbulb about exploded. I would've danced if I wasn't driving a car in Chicago at the time -

from the soundtrack to Mama Mia!, Does your Mother Know?
no, come on - it's perfect:

You're so hot
Teasing me
So you're blue but I can't
Take a chance on a kid like you
It's something I couldn't do

There's that look
In your eyes
I can read in your face
That your feelings are driving you wild
But boy you're only a child

...

I can see
What you want
But you seem pretty young
To be searching for that kind of fun
So maybe I'm not the one

Now, you're so cute
I like your style
And I know what you mean
When you give me a flash of that smile
But boy you're only a child

This is one of the few youth series that I would not like to see made into a movie or graphic novel. So little of the books are dialogue; we would miss SO much story.

You know, this is a weird one for me. I'd actually be interested in what a movie of these would be like... it would be a definate challenge, and probably revolutionary in the hands of a good director. Trying to get across so many nuances and complications would be insane...

As a wanna-be director, I've given this a lot of thought. The thing you have to realize, is that movies aren't just dialogue. With good actors, you can pull off a movie with almost no dialogue at all - think Wall-E, for example. So honestly, I think it could be done, and well... but it would need to be an uber-movie, big budget, great casting company, buncha people WHO HAD WORKED TOGETHER BEFORE writing the screenplay, and editing it...

To be honest, the director part of me wanted to make a movie out of QoA from halfway through it.

movie

I'd love to see a movie, but there is the definite possibility of someone ruining it. I have feeling that The Thief would make the best movie, because it revoles around one particular journey and physical task.

TT would be a good one, wouldn't it? The trick would be to have the stories narrated by Gen, but then played out onscreen. Since those are fairly action packed, it would add excitment and regular intervals to the parts of the story which would normally start to get dull to non-readers.

I agree 100%. My concern is that no director/writing/acting team could meet my exceedingly high standards in adequately conveying the non-dialogue aspects of these books. I don't want to see another Harry Potter disaster.

Okay, TLE, but ONLY if you do it. I'll help anyway I can!

You know your film terms, the last eddis. You should go to film school, and become a movie director.

Thank you!

I'm looking into a career in movies, actually. I've sent in an application for a film camp this summer, and I've made several fan trailers and shorts staring my brother and some of my friends - there's a link on the sidebar of my blog, if you're interested.

Haven't dared to go near QT yet, but that might change soon - if G likes the books I'm going to try and convince her to do the Attolia/Eddis scene at the end of QoA with me.

Deal!!!!

I promise that IF I become a director, and IF I get the chance to make movies out of these, I will consult you guys every step of the way. Possibly very subtly, because of contracts and junk like that - but you would have a huge influence over everything that went on!!!!
