The Official Adam Pascal Love thread — Page 298

Thank you, NTG, for effectively killing ANY possibility that I will pay attention in my English class which is... wait, no. I'm late. Later!

hahaha good job emcee. lol. look at what this thread does to you!

I vote for a Roger AND Mimi nude scene... Then we're all happy Man I really hope whoever plays Mimi has some good chemistry with Adam... That could make or break the movie. It also wouldn't hurt if she is increadibly hot

---

Well, I'm kind of thinking that a sex scene would most likely be a Roger/Mimi one.... yet, that's probably the one that I'd *like* to see the most, and I don't speculate well when my own personal biases are involved. Anyway, since that IS the central love story in RENT, I'd venture to guess that they'd be it.

That said, yes. English class became daydream time for me. It was kind of funny... I had no idea what was going on, partially due to the fact that I didn't really get very much sleep either. Then I come back here and see this picture of Adam (from Kean) on my desk and just feel like a complete idiot. I think watching a scene like that would be really weird for me, actually.

Anyway, OneBlaze is very right about the chemistry. Having seen Adam with a number of different Aidas (and knowing how steamy Elaborate Lives could be... or how "blah," for that matter) I think it's going to be really important to screen-test the people for Mimi WITH him. His chemistry with people can be kind of weird sometimes. Hopefully they'll find a good match, since we can't have Daphne.

whoa. ok. i'm seeing this movie (once it comes out) without my parents.

---

Good God. It IS Roger and Mimi?
I feel like this would be really strange for me to watch. Seeing Adam's ass in Cabaret is one thing, but I feel like this might be kind of uncomfortable to actually SEE. hmmm.

---

This is kind of making me want to read it... I know where to see the screenplay, but I haven't really felt ready to read it yet.

---

Maybe I'll check it out later.

Another random comment on the chemistry thing... God. In Temptation, Adam did a "seduction" scene with... ugh, I can't remember if it was Orfeh or Alice Ripley. Anyway, it just looked so contrived. I was like "come on, Adam. I KNOW you can do better." *crosses fingers for good chemistry*

---

hahaha, quite different, I'd suspect.

---

Heather has ridiculous chemistry with Adam. That's the only thing I can think of that tips the scales in her favor, but I'm not sure her voice is really what fits for Mimi. Those two were on FIRE, though.

---

"2. An unknown, but not a young inexperienced one, as we already know Adam probably won't go for that"

huh? Broadway.com interview?

hey NTG
check you cell messages

'Honestly, I didn't blame him. And mixing the OBC'ers with new talent might be a nice thing. I DO think it should be someone who has experience with the role, since the OBC'ers have clearly had lots, but I'd hope that if it is a newbie/unknown, she'll mesh well with them.'

Oh don't get me wrong I know what he meant in the interview... I just think that she should have experience because Mimi really is a complicated character that you either get or don't as an actress, plus I think that having come from a previous cast of Rent will have given the person a feel for how Mimi could be protrayed. I would just pitty or feel sort of embarrassed for a girl almost totally new to Broadway/Acting in general to be thrown in a cast/crew full of people from the original production unless she could seriously blow them away. With what a high standard Daphne has set for the character, I think experience with the character would simply make the movie better. That way, all the cast members are sort of on the same page, and will be able to work with eachother better. They don'y HAVE to be previous Mimis though, I'm actually quite confident now that Columbus might be able to pull this off. As long as they consider screen testing the candidates for Angel, Joanne and Mimi with Jesse, Idina, and Adam, then I will do the best I can to support his decisions. Those 3 relationships are very important to the story and it is VITAL that the new added cast works well with the involved OBC members.
