Saw a suggestion on a Steely Dan Twitter feed for characters from their songs inhabiting a movie. Who would be the leads & how would the plot develop? Their songs definitely lend themselves to a cinematic vibe & I could easily envisage a movie in a David Lynch/ neo-Noir style, possibly featuring Willem Defoe or Christopher Walken, not to mention who might play Dr Wu or the Babylon Sisters. It got me thinking, which song characters could live outside of their domain? What if David Watts met Billy Hunt? Dave from acquisitions crossed paths with Jennifer ( of De La Soul fame)? or if one of Fountains of Wayne’s characters stepped into a plot with Sweet Jane or Johnny the Fox? Any ideas?
