Following the success of 'Mama Mia' & 'We will Rock you', how would a musical stage presentation using Webbs back catalogue work? Any ideas for a storyline, or casting? | |

I'm having no trouble coming up with a great cast for a movie version, other than the unavailability of many of the actors. Here's who I'd like to see in the ultimate Webb Wilder movie (with all of them in their prime):
Mae West Carolyn Jones Marie Windsor Donna Douglas Joi Lansing Slim Pickens Jack Elam Timothy Carey Vic Morrow Jerome Howard Edie Massey David Rasche (in the role of Inspector Sledge Hammer)
I'm not sure what roles they'd play (other than Rasche) but I think that would be a great cast for Webb to interact with. I'd like to see Webb trying, but ultimately failing, to resist a Mae West seduction. I bet that waking up in her bed would be as disorienting as waking up next to a dumpster outside of Twitty City.
Who else from Movieland belongs in a Webb movie?
(And will "Scattergun" ever be released to the loving public?) | |

I'd love to see him, Timothy Carey, and Jerome Howard working together, particularly doing something to irritate Vic Morrow, who would then drag a rip saw across Mr. Howard's head, leaving the scalp unscathed but destroying the saw blade. | |
