Posted: 6/3/07 at 1:58pmNot a big fan of the musical or even the movie (Although John Waters himself is okay in my book...and I actually HAVE a book...) but Christopher Walken is going to be amazing within this film as he always is.

I'll probably see it, but not just for Walken. The Hairspray movie isn't exactly a movie I waiting for to come out. I'm more eager for Sweeney than I am for Hairspray.
I think that if he wasn't doing Hairspray that Christopher Walken would be an excellent Judge in Sweeney.

I'll see it despite Walken.
That's exactly what I thought when I read the title of this thread.

Does anyone else think Queen Latifah sounds very puny in the trailer?
Everyone I know who has seen it thinks so, myself included.

Do you mean 'vocals'?
She's not the power-house that we've heard from others.
#12re: Who Else Is Only Seeing The Hairspray Movie For Walken?

Yeah.
I mean, I love Queen Latifah and I think she has a fine voice. But, judging from the trailer, she doesn't come close to having the powerhouse voice needed for that role.

Posted: 6/3/07 at 7:18pmI'm looking forward to this movie. I see all movie-musical's, have to support them in hopes of a rare gem. Plus I secretly want to see Travolta in a dress. :)

Posted: 6/4/07 at 9:14amI too, will be seeing it despite Walken, Travolta and Latifah, and that kid from High School Musical. I am sure it will STILL be a very entertaining film, just not the blast through the roof it should be. I hope I am wrong.
