Valley Girl The Movie Musical?
I was quite happy after first reading about the plan to remake the classic 80s movie “Valley Girl,” a project that is being led by film makers Matt Smith and Sean Bailey.
It did not hit me at the time that they were looking to make it a musical.
A musical featuring the great new wave tunes of the time might sound intriguing, but most of those types of movies (like plays) feature the actors attempting to sing the tunes instead of the original artists.
The music is the reason that the movie was so great in the first place; otherwise it would have been a run-of-the-mill “chick flick” in 1983 with the same old “boy from poor background falls in love with rich girl” story.
While it is true that Nicholas Cage was brilliant in that role, the soundtrack is arguably remembered more as classic than the movie.
