It's been a few books, it's been a few movies, now London producers Kevin Wallace and Saul Zaentz are working on a musical that will premier in 2005, to coincide with the 50th anniversary of its publication.

They should turn 'Planet Of The Apes' into a musical too, it would be cool, just like in the Simpsons.

I wish I knew enough about LOTR to make an informed joke here.

Look at the producers: they probably know a lot about LOTR and still they're trying to make a joke of it.

They should make it a hip-hop musical: The Lord of the Bling-Blings!

I can't wait to see Ian McKellen swinging like Lord of the Dance.

I saw a movie once where Ian McKellen did some wierd kind of dance all round his kitchen. No wait, I think he was marching, yes he was dressed up as a Nazi and was marching round his kitchen... I hope that's in the musical too.

Bryan Singer could direct it, so in the end the Keyser Soze could dance.

Keyser Soze DOES dance at the end of 'The Usual Suspects' because he isn't really retarded.

You only see him and the kids mother sitting, facing each other, you just assume that they were talking. Oh yea, and in Citizen Kain 'Rosebud' was the name of his sled.
