It Ends. It Begins.

It's been quite while since I updated. We've been working hard on different songs, have gone into the studio a few times with new singers, and have been talking with out lawyer as she wrangled with WB for adaptation rights, for, by the way, The Lost Boys--the 1987 cult-classic vampire film.

Sadly, one week ago. Ben and I found out from Warner Bros. that they were not interested in giving us licensing rights.

It was a pretty hard blow. It's been a ton of time, a ton of money, and a ton of work.

Ben and I had a conversation. Do we say, "fuck it" and pay to record everything anyway? Do we give up entirely and do something else? WHAT DO WE DO?

So here's what we're doing. We're going to complete the last remaining songs of the musical in Ben's home studio, and we're going to film a concept video including the songs we've already recorded. THen we promote the crap out of it online. And then we see what happens. Maybe it generates buzz, and maybe it doesn't. But if the guy who wrote mediocre songs for "The Goonies Musical" can put them to clips of the film illegally on YouTube and still be featured in a British film magazine, then we have a shot.

We're scheduled to film in January. Will keep you posted.
