According to Riedel.

I'm pretty intrigued. I know this has been talked about ages. But she's almost 70. Can it work?

When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 1/5/11 at 12:11amUgh? Sorry, but this could be one of the great screen performances of all time if done right. I don't think I could express my excitement in words.

Posted: 1/5/11 at 12:16amWell, now we have to movie musical remakes to look foreward to. We have "My Fair Lady" with Carey Mulligan and now this.

That ought to just about snap whatever tenuous hold Ms. Lupone has on reality.
But, I'll believe it when I see it.

Posted: 1/5/11 at 12:16amShould we start dream casting Louise? I guess Anne Hathaway is the obvious choice.

Posted: 1/5/11 at 12:17amI love Streisand. If done right this could be great. It's about time we got a decent movie musical.

Posted: 1/5/11 at 12:21amI hope this happens. And I hope this is the best on screen performance in the history of movie musicals!

Yes. Yes she is. Yes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't there rumors that Barbara was going to do the film version that eventually became the Bette TV version?
I still dream about what Judy Garland would have done with the role had she been in the original film version instead of Roz...
Ah well.

Posted: 1/5/11 at 12:23amThis has brilliant written all over it. I really hope this actually happens.

Posted: 1/5/11 at 12:23amCapn, if this happens it will be the performance of her career. God, this is exciting news.

Posted: 1/5/11 at 12:26amIf we are to believe Riedel, he said it is in "deep negotiations." While the idea of an almost 70-year-old Rose is a bit jarring at first, I would love to see her take a stab at this role.

Jordan, I've just never been a Barbra fan. If it happens, I'll have to pass.
Although Anne Hathaway would make a very good Louise.

Posted: 1/5/11 at 12:50amMy only problem with this is that its not already made and in theaters for my viewing pleasure.
#18Streisand to produce, direct and star in a new film adaption of GYPSY....
Posted: 1/5/11 at 12:51amI love Streisand, but I think it's a very bad idea for anyone to attempt to direct themselves in "Rose's Turn".

Posted: 1/5/11 at 1:03amI hope she doesn't alter the score much. But I also hope it's not a copy and paste of the stage show as the boring Midler film was.
