Re: The Iron Giant



Okay, here's the deal with Iron Giant.  I was going crazy trying to figure
this whole thing out, and I think I have it straight now.  First of all,
Iron Giant doesn't come out untill tomarrow, at least that's the way it is
out here.  Pete had origionally sighned on to the project with the plan to
use his music in the movie.  Somehow, I'm not sure how, Pete or some one
else decided that would not be the best thing and now there is no musical
numbers.  Michel Kamen has underscored it, but with no help from Pete.  Pete
is now only an executive producer, so he probably had little to do with the
making of the movie, and just put up the cash for it to be made.  The story
has changed a lot from the origonal book and Pete story.  But it does look
fun and I can't wait for the reviews.  Hopfully there will be an interview
with Pete about it some time soon and he can shed more light on it than I
can.  But, it's looks cute.  That's all from me.  Ta
