film to theatre conversion
My favorite ideas from Last Action Hero were sudden realizations of how to get the film genre on stage. For example: use of slow motion movement in extreme moments. And use of excess - 100 cars with sirens going, not just 5 or 6. Excessively yelling every line. Guns and knives hanging off of every inch of someone's body.
And a question to the set designer: can we get tops of cars somehow on the floor (preferably cop cars, with siren lights) so we can run across them in a chase scene?
