Peter Jackson should direct first Bat 3 video

Steve6 · 16 Dec 2005, 22:05

I really don't know why I am thinking this

I was watching the Bat out of Hell video and I said to myself, my god imagine
Peter Jackson directing that. It would have been the coolest thing ever.

Jim Steinman's music to me is pure fantasy and it's class.

Peter Jackson has made the best fantasy film of all time with "LORD OF THE RINGS".

So he should have alot in common with Jim's music.
I want Peter to give this a shot. It would be a different challenge for him and it would be the most amazing thing ever.

AndrewG · 16 Dec 2005, 22:34

Yeah some kind of over the top video with a massive CGI bat chasing Meat who saves Patti, on a motorbike escaping from hell.

"What part of my Body Hurts the Most" all the way.....

PanicLord · 16 Dec 2005, 22:38

What a great idea... plus, Jacksons films are always very long, and so are Meat's songs!!!

Ben · 16 Dec 2005, 22:55

its got my vote although another michael bay video would be great!!

L96 · 16 Dec 2005, 23:13

I too would like to see that!

Vote for Musicman as script writer!

Steve6 · 16 Dec 2005, 23:58

I want this to happen because I feel this can work.
I am going to try and get a campaign going on this one.
I have such faith in it.

Thank's for your comment's guys!!!!!!!

Heli · 17 Dec 2005, 01:46

Well I believe that this will 99.9999% NOT happen! Not just the fact that Peter jackson will be spending the next few years on the Hobbit, but also for the fact that it's just not gonna happen!

It'd be a nice thought....but no!

Pudding · 17 Dec 2005, 03:54

I don't think Meat's budget for his first music video would cover Peter Jackson's fee. If he did though, it would generate more interest than a simple ad campaign.

And Peter Jackson's next project is 'The Lovely Bones' but that's not due till 2007, so who knows? he might want to do one or two pet projects.

Jeanie · 17 Dec 2005, 06:25

Great idea, Steve.. re: Peter Jackson. I wouldn't mind seeing some more Micheal Bay videos, done for Meat either.

I also vote Musicman as script writter.

Andy Serkis could be the bat!

Jeanie · 18 Dec 2005, 06:13

LOL, yes Andy Serkis would be perfect.. if he can do a giant ape, why not a giant bat.

J.

Pudding · 18 Dec 2005, 11:29

Because apes are hominids like humans and bats aren't...as a rough guess.

Pud

Jeanie · 19 Dec 2005, 01:36

So, what you're saying Pud is.. Andy Serkis won't be playing you, anytime soon, then??

J.

Pudding · 19 Dec 2005, 04:03

That would suggest then that you think I'm a bat, I don't get the joke....

Pud

Steve6 · 21 Dec 2005, 02:04

I feel if Jackson got approached he would think about doing this.

Look at the other BOOH album's!!!!! To me they feel like blockbuster movie's crammed into rock'n roll record's.

Heli · 21 Dec 2005, 14:22

It's not as simple as just ringing up someone and asking them just because they're album is like a big blockbuster

....

**The Flying Mouse** · 23 Dec 2005, 01:29

I dare say he would do it one way or another if he was a Meat fan, but if not, he would want his full fee, and I fear that the budget won't stretch to it.
And OK, this will (hopefully) be a great success, but that is all the more reason for a director to increase his fee, not ask for less.

Baised out like this.....
Meat's managment - listen, we really want you to make this music video.
P.J. - You do?
M.M. - Yeah.
P.M. OK, that'll be two sacks of cash please.
M.M. - Well, thing is, we don't really wanna spend that much.
P.J. - Sorry then.Not interested.
M.M. - But this is gonna be really really big.
P.J. - It is?
M.M. - Yeah.
P.J. - Cool.
M.M. - So you'll do it?
P.J. - Yeah, but I will now require 3 sacks of cash instead of two.
M.M. - Why?
P.J. - Well you said this was gonna be "really really big".....
M.M. - Yeah, but......
P.J. - And it's gonna sell a billion copies.....
M.M. - That's right, but.......
P.J. - And it's gonna win Music Video Of The Year.......
M.M. - Well it's what we're sort of hoping for......
P.J. - And i'll get more street cred and get to score with girls......
M.M. - Well possibly......
P.J. - So this is gonna be "really really big", your gonna make a ludicrous ammount of money, the video will be a hit, and your asking ME, to do it on the cheap?
M.M. - Well kind of yeah.
P.J. - Well if your gonna make so much on this, I want a fair wedge myself.Increase your budget.
M.M. - But we can't do that.
P.J. - Why not?
M.M. - Because we don't have enough faith in the product.
P.J. - But you said it would be "really really big".....
M.M. - Yes, we did say that, but......
P.J. - Goodbye.

Dramatisation:May not have happened, or may of happened in a paralel universe or in that dream I had last night.

Steve6 · 23 Dec 2005, 02:21

I know everyone can joke about it, and what you said above was funny

But look at what was paid to make the "ANYTHING FOR LOVE" video!!! They would pay to get Peter Jackson involved if they really wanted to.

There won't be another BOOTH so they might as well make one last amazing video

Would you agree?

**The Flying Mouse** · 23 Dec 2005, 02:51

I totally agree that as this is the last Bat album, it's time to go out in style.Nothing but the very best.I also believe that with the very best promo, this album will smash all expectations

.
Unfortunatly, i'm not the bloke who signes the cheques

.
As a fan, I would throw money at that project all day long.But record company guys and managment are not fans.They love an artist because they can make them money.Bottom line.
Einstein would probablly put the formala as.........
E = mc =

(Entertainer = MyCash = We like you).
E = mc2 =

(Entertainer = MyCash SQUARED = You sexy barstuard, I want your babies).

Now record companies being record companies (instead of fan clubs (DAMN that would be cool

) ), they look at boring stuff like track records (no pun intended).Problem is, instead of looking at the bigger picture, and saying......
"oooh look what happened when Bat Out Of Hell came out, nobody wanted to know, and it was (and still is) a f&$^ing beast"

.
and......
"oooh, look what happened when Bat Out Of Hell II came out.Everyone thought there was no way that this would work, but it turned out to be album and single of the year, landed the artist a grammy, and made Virgin a shedload of cash"

......they say, well Mr Loaf, although you put your heart and soul into your last album, tirelessly promoting it and going on tour to give it a chance, it didn't do as well as you hoped did it?
OK, I mean fair enough, the record company didn't exactly go out of it's way to promote your album Mr Loaf, and in fact didn't actually go out of their way to deliver copies of the album and single to actual shop shelves, but it was hardly their fault was it

.

We were really lucky with Bat II that there were people at Virgin who had the faith and the drive to give the album it needed and deserved.

After the fiasco (caused by the record company) of CHSIB, and the fact that it didn't do anyway near what it could have done, that is the rep Meat has at the moment.

I think that most of us here agree that Bat III, given the promo it merits, will be a blast, now it's a matter of the record company matching our faith

.

Well, after the "disaster" with "King Kong" in the US and Europe, P.J. would be confident witch a half sack of cash

BTW: "King Kong" is not so good. Okay much more better than Godzilla anyway. Actually the original King Kong was also not so good, just the effects
