Where did I put my POTO icon?

HEY! HEY! You know how I posted that thing about the POTO sequel last night? They're basing it on The Phantom of Manhattan, with various comments on the previous entry offering... tantalizing (?) details:Let's just say it involves amusement parks, an precocious boy-child (and I'm not referring to Raoul) and a cameo by Teddy Roosevelt ( Read more... )

stage and theater, wtf, phantom of the opera, movies

The Phantom of Manhatten? But that book was BAD.

It could be worse. It could be one of the Sherlock Holmes/PTO crossovers. Either one. Doesn't matter which.

And I'm not sure if Susan Kay would be a better choice, either (though it would take a LOT of twisting to make a sequel.)

Sometimes I love the public domain. Sometimes I really understand where Disney is coming from every time they go to court.

Holmes/POTO crossovers?

I really don't understand why I'm surprised. I shouldn't be.

... My heart now deeply desires to know more about these Holmes/Phantom crossovers. They sound epic.

Oh God. Oh God. *head in hands*

John please, please stay away from this clusterfuck abomination. Do Barnum, it's perfect for you. I can't deal with having my fandoms collide so horrifically.

This trainwreck just might be the thing to make me want to see an ALW production.

Kay that Wikipedia article mentions not a thing concerning Raoul, which is admittedly the part I care most about.

writes an opera hoping to lure Christine to play the lead.

Sounds like a retcon of the original's ending.

Ugh, but I assume it's the same as we all read previously.

Cripes.
