Like the Wizard Of Oz... with Gary Numan
The comic said he wanted ‘icons’ to make cameo appearances, not just flash-in-the-pan celebrityies.
‘You can't just get people who are just trendy at the moment, it looks a bit back-slappy,’ he told XFM.
‘Gary Numan's always welcome but if we could get Jagger that would be amazing. If we could get Jagger then my work would be complete, I could retire."’
He added: ‘A film is the first thing we ever wanted to do, so we've always come up with ideas and stuck them in a drawer. Now comedy films like Shaun of the Dead have really opened a lot of doors.
‘We wanna make something pretty epic like The Wizard Of Oz; something huge and psychedelic with lots of music and animation in it. A big epic fantasy world.’
