I’m a fanboy like everybody else, and I came up with this stuff to entertain myself. That is where it became kind of a blend of my favorite movies like “Blade Runner” and “Clockwork Orange” mixed with early “Star Wars” concepts packaged in a Tim Burton world in some respects. The nightmare itself was a very futuristic war with advanced physics and space crafts and vehicles. I thought it would be really interesting to have this character guide you through them. The thesis was that nightmares prepare you for real-world events. Years later, trying to figure out what this character would do or would be, I stumbled upon a documentary about nightmares. But in my mind he was more of a mod kid rather than a guy in tights. I had smoked a lot of marijuana, and I was staring out the widow thinking, “This city looks like there should be a little Peter Pan running across the rooftops. Q: Where did the character Poet Anderson come from?Ī: Years ago I was in a hotel room in Paris. It’s gonna take a little bit to get it all off the ground, because it’s big. I teamed up with them to bring “Poet Anderson” to life as a major motion picture franchise. They co-finance pretty much every Warner Bros. They have been doing pretty much everything that is significant over the last year and a half. I partnered with Rat Pack Production Company.

Q: Are you turning your “Poet Anderson” books into a feature film?Ī: I’m in the middle of major conversations for a major motion picture. The album was a good way for me to start the conversation about what I had been working on behind closed doors besides music. Some were demos, some were ideas, some were new. So I did have a closet full of things that were just laying around. I was always thinking about where to go and what to do next.

I think a lot of kids think I don’t care about Blink 182 or that I was not passionate about it. I had some stuff laying around that I was working on.
