Adam Green's Aladdin

Mary Anne catches up with musician, artist and filmmaker Adam Green (The Moldy Peaches) to talk about his second feature film based on the story of Aladdin.

Mary Anne catches up with musician, artist and filmmaker Adam Green (The Moldy Peaches), to talk about his new Aladdin-based project, which goes on tour this summer...

Adam Green's take on the Arabian Nights classic tale comes in the form of a film and live show, and features Adam as Aladdin, plus fellow stars Natasha Lyonne, Macaulay Culkin and Zo毛 Kravitz.

He joins us to discuss why he decided to use this story as the basis of his second feature film, and how the live show will unfold for those who take the magic carpet ride to one of the selected venues...

Warning: for anyone feeling crafty whle listening to the radio this morning, this interview may encourage you to rebuild your entire house out of papier-m芒ch茅...

Talking about the set of the film to press, Adam said, "the goal was to make a sort of Wizard of Oz out of cardboard. We constructed 500 props and 30 rooms all out of phone books, newspapers, glue, and house-paint. In a way it felt like we were constructing an analogue version of the internet." Amazing!
