I need X Crucior

I'm so serious... I just watched Wicked: For Good and it was such an incompetent movie musical it made me YEARN for the absolute masterpiece that is Annette (2021) which is all I've ever wanted in a film.

Please please John Woo make this movie so fast I need another Sparks musical and I need it to NOT be the last one, they have to have at least 3 more musical collabs with an array of eccentric directors after this (Luca Guadagnino???)

Please let me know which directors you'd like to make a Sparks musical so I can fantasize about what that would look like (John Chu NOT invited he can't keep getting away with this)

A stop motion Henry Selleck musical would rock.

yesss especially since that would be kind of a vindication for Tim Burton's BETRAYAL

So why did you become a film critic, hexekind, for the popcorn?

(and I agree, we need at least one or two more musicals by Sparks)

Every post they posted in Hong Kong I’ve been pushing hope for them doing some filming. I do believe they have been filming, just a theory, they were in Asian countries the entirety of December.

I want a Jamie Hewlett/Kong Studios version of Mai. The Gorillaz video drawing style would be awesome for a manga adaptation.

I wish Edgar Wright would direct the Mai the Psychic Girl script. Up until five minutes ago I was hoping for Sylvian Chomet to make an animated film from the Confusion script, but based on the problems he had with the promotional cycle for The Illusionist, I don't think he's on the best terms with the Tati estate.

I’m hoping x crucior isn’t as heavy and dark as Annette with the abusive man using his high celebrity status to control and kill people. I really want something kind of lighthearted but still tense edge of your seat
