As many of you already know, Tucker the Man and His Dream was once planned as a musical movie (yeah, I don't know how I feel about that either), but it made Slate's list of "The Best Movies Never Made:"

A good song title for a Tucker musical would be "In my Merry Tuckermobile"! Or another would be "Tucker Across Texas With You"! Or finally "Don't It Make my Brown Eyes Waltz Blue?"! Charles

Once again, Elias Koteas could reprise his role as Alex Tremulis (if he can sing). Malcolm Bricklin commissioned Tremulis to design a four-seater as a followup to the SV-1. After a long communication gap as Bricklin was in the midst of financial woes (amazing how history repeats!) Tremulis gave up on the project.

The connection goes deeper, as Malcolm Brickin apparently also was the founder of Subaru of America where Tremulis was a consultant. The Subaru Brat, the Subaru XT (or some part of it), and the X-100 were Tremulis' Subaru designs. Here are three of the five or six illustrations Tremulis did for Bricklin, now for sale by Donald Heald:

My personal favorite is still this one. I found it just outside the back door of a design firm in Madison WI.

Maybe that's why he shot Hugh Laurie.
