From what I've heard, I also see the project as a musical, with each actor singing theyr part. Jack Whites form of participation is not clear at all. I doubt very much he would record the whole record. Anyway, I hope the project goes through. Schoolboys deserves it.
Just yesterday I listened to the whole album while running. You should see how fast you go when you get to the final part of Education!

Looking forward to seeing this complete. Jack White is very talented. I really love his work with the Rocantours.

I have to admit I was surprised by the Beatles film Across the Universe, where young performers were hired to do reinterpretations of all those well-known Beatles songs. Most of their versions were excellent -- not necessarily better than the originals, but thoughtfully done, with rearrangements that brought something new to each song. I can only hope that reinterpretations of these Kinks songs -- which are not as well known to the general audience -- will do the same. It could be a great boost for the Kinks catalog. OTOH, Across the Universe was directed by the brilliant Julie Taymor. I'm not sure that Bobcat Goldthwaite is quite on her level...
