Lin to direct film adaptation of Tick Tick Boom — Page 6

I do wonder if this awards season, Lin will reach the "That'll be quite enough, Anne Hathaway" level of overexposure, especially since he'll have Tick Tick Boom, In The Heights, and Encanto in awards-running. Especially with the sunny earnestness he projects.

I’ve never understood some people’s hatred/dislike for Lin Manuel Miranda. He’s always struck me as so cool and down-to-earth.

It’s like that saying: “Some people will never like you because your spirit irritates their demons”….

Listened to the soundtrack and I loved it! "Sunday" in particular sounds incredible and "Why" is going to be quite the tear-jerker in the best way. So excited for Friday.

All I could think of was Chevy Chase in Three Amigos. "Wow, in-famous? IN-famous??"

Seriously tho- DID you write any raps for it?!?

Can’t wait to start watching this on an endless loop starting Friday!

Congrats!

If this movie ever gets released on DVD and Blu-Ray, I imagine there would probably be deleted scenes there.

Not true. They may not be released for general sale -- but I receive dozens of Netflix "screeners" every year during awards season.

And industry screeners don’t typically have deleted scenes which was the whole point about DVD/Blue Ray. LOL, that post reminded me of someone I know who did a few national commercials as a child and has kept their SAG card ever since and loves to bring up their awards screeners and talk about voting for the SAG awards in conversation, when it clearly has nothing to do with/ or add to the conversation.

Lin, I know you don't come on this board a lot, but it was so good, bro.

Dave Malloy and Shaina Taub cameoing in the Sondheim scene is so touching, given how their careers were both started by the Jonathan Larson Grant.

Add me to the chorus of people who love this movie. It's among the my very favorite movies of the year, and a unique and touching portrait of the experience of being an artist. A film that only someone with Lin's experience can make at this level.

The film world sometimes talks about successful people receiving a "blank check" with creative control and freedom within a certain budget, and this certainly counts as Miranda's blank check.

Unfortunately, one of my big takeaways from this film is that some of Larson's songs are just okay. There are 3 GREAT songs in it (30/90, Why, Come to Your Senses), but the others aren't quite as strong. The film itself is better than most of the written material Larson contributed to the project.

This is a beautiful tribute to Jonathan, no one could've done it better . With this Linn proves he not a two hit wonder but probably one of the greats.
