We were in the universe of the teenage movie. Teenage reality. So we said here's what's going to be weird about the world of our movie: No one's going to be over 30. The world is a high school, essentially. And Tom Cody will be the football hero. And Willem Dafoe is the greaser. Remember: You had John Hughes at the time, and then you had Coppola making two high school movies: "The Outsiders" and "Rumble Fish". So Walter said we’re going to make a high school movie that's also going to be a comic book and also going to be a musical.
