Coded Arms Assault - TGS 06 Trailer (PS3) song

There's a trailer for a canceled game on youtube for Coded Arms Assault. In the trailer is a song played through scenes of game play and cut-scenes. I would like to know if you can find out the song.

Could you provide the link? If you mean this video, there is some speculation at this forum thread. (Perhaps you're visiting from there.) I tried googling "like a dream" "show your heart" "a new way" lyrics which only came up with the forum thread, which suggests to me, since Googling lyrics usually works instantly, that it may be a song that Konami commissioned and recorded themselves specifically for Coded Arms: Assault. Maybe you'll get lucky and they will utilize the song in some other game that does ship. Tempshill (talk) 03:27, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Dance Jazz

What bands are considered Dance Jazz similar to the band King Sunshine? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.19.227.179 (talk) 04:08, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

There's a bunch of similar artists listed on the group's Last FM page here. Also, look up their albums on Amazon and see what people who buy their records are also buying. --Richardrj ^{talk email} 07:45, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Adaptation vs screenplay film credits

What's the difference? In Murders in the Rue Morgue, Robert Florey is credited with the adaptation, while Tom Reed and Dale Van Every are credited with the screenplay. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:23, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

An adaptation can involve a mere reorganization of the story into a movie-friendly version, whereas a writing a screenplay involves creating a formal script for use by the actors to use their lines and the director in setting up the scenes. They can be done at the same time (for example, you can just adapt a screenplay from the original source material) or you can rewrite the story as a new prose story, and then a different set of people can take your adapted prose and create a screenplay from it. It looks like that was what was done here. --Jayron32 22:21, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

That film departs significantly from Poe's story, so the adaptation basically involved coming up with a different plot (one that Florey obviously thought would make a better movie). Deor (talk) 00:09, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
