 CityBeat: We Like Ike (2001-04-19)
After Zappa's death, Willis aligned himself with a couple of Zappa tributes, one of which, Men from Utopia, was (and continues to be) stocked with former Zappa sidemen, and continued with his solo career, which had begun in 1986 with the release of Should've Gone Before I Left.
Willis sees his position with Project/Object as an opportunity to represent Zappa to a generation of old fans who miss him and to a new generation of fans who have come to know Zappa's influence through Phish, moe and other similarly structured jam bands.
Willis insists that the members of Project/Object learn Zappa's material to the note initially, leaving some room for improvisation and interpretation only after the technical requirements of any particular piece are satisfied.

Project/Object formed in the early "90s and was joined by Ike Willis in 1997 and a year ago by Napoleon Murphy Brock, a Zappa vocalist in the mid-"70s.

Frank Zappa is dead but there are more than a few bands that are still playing his demanding music, as daunting a task as that may be.
Willis: That's what he told me. Because, ahh, ticket sales weren't going all that great, he didn't have a front man for lead vocals and stuff, somebody to prowl the stage like Nappy (Napoleon Murphy Brock) used to, but he was looking for something different also.
Willis: Well the thing is on top of his music, no matter what you've heard about him, the rumors about his reputation that he was an asshole and he's such a hard case to work with, he was a human being!

 BBC - Movies - interview - Bruce Willis
It was written during the 80s by Frank Miller as a kind of adult film noir comic, and now Robert's using a brand new technology to get that look across on film - it's remarkable to watch.
This is really only the second time out of 60 films I've done, where all the actors paid homage to the writing and none of the actors wanted to change any of the dialogue.
Frank Miller, as the second director, would say, "Let's just change this line", but all the actors, would say, "No, lets just say what's in the book." A lot of the time we'd just take out the book, hold up the panel, and directly follow the story.
