FRANZ FERDINAND - MUSICAL PLANS FOR FRANZ FERDINAND

Rockers FRANZ FERDINAND could follow in the footsteps of SIR ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER and write their own stage musical. The Glaswegian band, who were critically acclaimed for their soundtrack in BAFTA winning film Hallam Foe, plan to write a stage musical after the release of their next album. Lead singer Alex Kapranos says, "After we've finished the album, we're definitely going to look more at doing some other things. "Writing for Hallam Foe was a lot of fun. "We hear Belle And Sebastian were working on a musical film and possibly I'd like to write a musical too. Who knows? Maybe I'll write one for the stage rather than for a film."
