Here’s the favorite thing I’ve written so far. Who would I like to direct this? I’d have to say a director I’ve already chosen: Cameron Crowe. He did Jerry Maguire which I patterned some of this story after. But also he did Vanilla Sky, which wasn’t a perfect movie but had some really cool, surreal bits that fits Sky Blue.
I’d get Johnny Greenwood to score it. He’s from Radiohead and I was listening to a lot of it while writing this. Well, that and Thomas Newman (the soundtrack to this is the soundtrack to “Angels In America” by Newman–I never saw that but the music was perfect!).
For some reason as I was reading Sky Blue my mind kept going to the movie The Fountain with Hugh Jackman. I don't know if you've seen the movie, it has three interconnected storylines, one in the past, the present and in the future. The present time storyline deals with the main character and his dying wife. That was the one that kept coming to mind as I was reading Sky Blue. So as the story progressed I could really see Hugh Jackman playing Colin Scott in Sky Blue The Movie
I played that soundtrack a lot while writing it. And yeah, I could see Hugh Jackman playing Colin.
