I guess whatever Schwartz wrote for Houdini will go back in the trunk for possible use in a future project A shame we may never get to hear what might have been
Too bad for that show, it seemed very promising, but I´m excited for Schikaender, I hope he is still in involved und maybe we will learn a bit of the Houdini score.
The article also mentioned that the WICKED film is still in the works but why is Stephen Daldry the first choice for the director? I thought that EXTREMELY LOUD AND INCREDIBLY CLOSE was so sappy, forced and infuriating that I could argue that it was a WORSE film than the film adaptation of WAR HORSE, which I liked.
Stephen Daldry also made Billy Elliot (both the stage musical and the original film), The Hours, The Reader, as well as the upcoming Trash.
Though I agree with you on why is he being considered, I mean what would make him a suitable choice for Wicked?
My personal choice at the moment is actually Francis Lawerence (Constantine, I Am Legend, Water for Elephants, Catching Fire, Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2).
