#9. "RE: Sky Ring Water...Beau."
In response to In response to 8


          

Actually, I'd love to do a Broadway musical. Had plans at one time but I pissed someone off and it fell apart. It was going to be based on Elijah Comes to Red Horse.

There was pretty much no cussing in SOAWM, we designed it to be "traditional," but there was in LOTDB. It was intended to be a bit more radical with its fractured flashback structure and race fluid protagonist ... who you don't even realize is the protagonist at first. LOTDB was a much more experimental concept.

Through the bulk of Dad's career, the late '50s to the early '70s, the approach that both he and his publishers followed was, "if you liked one you'll like them all." That's good marketing and it's most obvious in all those titles that are the name of the character. For awhile it was present in the cover art and for a shorter time in the actual stories.

But no writer wants to keep doing the exact same thing. A lot of the LLLT postscripts document LL's attempts to both break the mold yet keep his audience. In keeping with that concept when I started putting together movie projects I did one traditional, SOAWM, one radical (or semi radical) LOTDB, and one from the Adventure genre, TDOJ. Those were made as audios, one got made as a film, the another as a Comic.

I also put together a TV Series from Haunted Mesa and The Californios, so SciFi and "Weird West" genres, that have yet to be exploited. I also have the first of a four episode Last of the Breed Graphic Novel written (set in the early 1960s rather than the 1980s), as well as a super brief but comprehensive plan for The Walking Drum and the first step, an exploration of themes and story elements, for Reilly's Luck (a version that stays in Europe longer). The idea behind all of this was to have a bit of everything but also to point out all the extremes of Dad's creativity.

It's all sort of a plan, the original idea was to do movies, but there is no controlling what happens of doesn't happen in that world, so I branch out whenever I get the opportunity.
