And for those wondering, all precedent says it will be considered a REVIVAL."

I truly can’t believe the MCC production was 9 years ago now. It feels so much more recent. 

But yes- definitely will be considered a revival, especially as this seems to be an entirely new production.

His next project should probably be to take a breather for a bit. 

While I'm sure Jordan and his team had a good chuckle over Chalamet's gaffe, there was already a turning tide against Chalamet, who was never a sure bet in the first place.  

I think the only time the three actors conceit worked was Fun Home, since it chose three exceptionally different portions of Bechdel's life and effectively treated them as separate characters with unique arcs. Otherwise, it's just been: here's the kid, then the young adult, then the adult, as a single chronological continuum.

...yeah, looking forward to the deaths of members you dislike is ****ed up.

I’m not surprised that it closed at a huge loss to be honest. We often spent many months scratching our heads at how they were still running even when they were underperforming at least six figures a week. Even more were the attempts at Star casting that likely cost a fortune, but probably only boosted the box office just enough to cover the additional expense."

HK has an interesting gross history - it does very well in its first year, then comes down a lot after its first holiday season, then goes into an erratic pattern. It never seemed to be able to sustain one stable average gross for very long. I think behind-the-scenes expenses turned it into a total money pit that made recoupment all but impossible.

It is wild to me that Lithgow is 80. I mean, intellectually, yes, I know that's true, but it just doesn't feel true.

Any of the Heated Rivalry fellas for Mary’s Teacher."

If they could get Connor Storrie, it would be the absolute hottest ticket ON EARTH, right now."

Storrie would genuinely be great but the added security they would need... 

Everett as Mary and Jeff Hiller as Lincoln would be divine. 

I am frankly really surprised HK lost as much money as it did. 

I’ve not yet seen the play but Dahl did explicitly say he was anti-Israel because of its violent actions in Lebanon in 1982. And he said it repeatedly. And he did use it as a starting off point for further genuinely anti-Semitic comments. Multiple things can be true here at once.

They will all have lived long lives of unbelievable accomplishment and left behind an incredible legacy that will still be able to be enjoyed for generations to come, which is far more than can be said for the vast majority of people who have ever died in the history of humanity. 

Poor guy, it sucks being sidelined from doing what he loves for so long. But as long as he can make a full recovery, it's worth it. 

Melissa McCarthy was a name bouncing around a while back and I think she'd be fantastic. 

This thread went off the rails by post 7. Amazing, great job.

Barbra would never let anybody or anything do anything on her behalf. She is the only one who can do herself justice.
