SUNSET BLVD to be filmed - finally?

[santtu]

ALW is thinking again of filming his musical SUNSET BOULEVARD. Most likely it would be a performance-like film, like CATS and JOSEPH.

I like the idea of staging the show in a Theatre and film it like he recently did with Love Never Dies...BUT I don't know if it's economically smart to do that and don't actually open the show. Why spend millions of pounds just to film it? Sure it's cheaper than a feature film, but it would be more profitable to open the show to audiences too and capitalize the money spent on putting it together.

I however do hope this happens and WITH Glenn Close as Norma like he wants.
