ADAM PASCAL IN L.A. FOR THE RENT MOVIE — Page 3

Seconding starlight's question.

And b-way buff, can you prove this in any way? I don't really believe it.

can i prove that i spoke with adams wife this morning and that she told me about the movie?? um no. i dont walk around with a tape recorder. adams kids go to a kids gym next to one of my businesses plus adam and his wife have been customers of mine in my business for about the last year and a half.

if u choose not to believe me thats up to. i have no reason to make things up. I thought some people would be as happy as i was to hear this information but apparently not.

Seriously, I don't see why anyone should be jumpong on B-Way Buff's case? Did this person tell you that the entire OBC was going to be in the movie? No. Did he or she say Adam HAS the role of Roger for the film adaptation? No. They saw Adam's wife, spoke to her, and was kind enough to report back. Lay off.

Interesting information, but I think most of you are jumping to conclusions too quickly -- not just about the probability of the OBC reprising their roles (not likely, especially if Antonique Smith and Angelina Jolie remain options for Mimi and Maureen) but also about the extent to which you would enjoy seeing the OBC star in the film. I suspect that most of you base your opinions of the original cast on the two-disc recording. The reality is that when they performed live, not all of the cast members received rave reviews for their performances. Anthony Rapp especially had trouble with the songs.

I suspect that original cast members are either auditioning just so Columbus can say "I considered X, Y and Z for this role but ultimately chose Q" or so that Columbus can assign one or two of them to cameo roles. Serious consideration for them as leads would probably just be a sign that Columbus has been reading message boards and giving in to the outrageous demands of Rentheads -- which I think he'll be above in the end.

I think Chloe got it right the first time. First of all, the information could be true but can't be verified, and b-way buff: since this is a message board and virtually anyone can go on this and type whatever they want, I think you'd have to expect that some people will be skeptical about what you said, simply because there's no way of knowing. There's no need for anyone to be rude about it of course, but surely you can't expect everything to be taken at face value?

And again, if it's true he's in talks with Columbus, doesn't necessarily mean he'll get cast. We'll just have to wait and see.

i get pissed off casue i have better things to do with my time then sit here and fight with poeple and defend myself. if lucky enough to have met adam and his wife and his amazing 2 sons. i choose to share certain things with u guys. i dont expect to be attacked and have the validity of my post be questioned.

"i dont expect to be attacked and have the validity of my post be questioned."

Unfortunately, that's what you get on an anonymous forum. Sad but true, isn't it?

This isn't anything personal, it's just a fact of the matter... it's hard to trust anyone who just pops up with information that we can't confirm. If we ran around trusting everything that everyone said, where would we be? Let's see.... we'd think John Stamos was starring in Fiddler and that Wicked was already closed.

No one attacked you.

Hmmm... I'm just not too sure if she expected to read her conversation with you two minutes later on a message board.

i would hardly say that i posted entire conversation. i posted on fact about adam. our conversation lasted about 30 min and we discussed many other things that i choose not to discuss on a message board!!

---

well u know what emcee maybe i shouldnt have said anything, but its people such as yourself, whom i know love adam, that i was posting the info for and come thursday when i see adam or his wife i will ask if they take issue with the post and i will let all of u know what they have to say about it.

b-way buff - I'm speaking only for myself here, but I'll say that I didn't think the initial post was terrible. If you feel you want to share information, that's great. If it was a secret, I'd think Pascal's wife would be very careful whom she shares the information with. But you getting all upset about a few people questioning the validity of your information, on an anonymous message board, is a tad ridiculous.

Hey...wow, I missed alot.

I started thinking while reading the thread. (shocking I know...:) )Anyway, we have heard that several other actors, OBC of RENT included, that have auditioned for the movie and went unquestioned. Why? I think it is because how we found out, Euan mentioned that he and Raul auditioned at Seth's Chatterbox, Anthony Rapp has told several people at the stage door of LSoH, and there was an interview online with Jai on the subject. I think, because you, b-waybuff (and i mean no disrespect in saying this) say to have a personal relationship with Adam and his family. If so, great! I am sure they are wonderful people. But I believe since information came out in this manner it is being questioned. Plus, there seems to be an overwhelming amount of Adams fans on this board, so of course we will all be interested.

Ok, done with rambling. Everyone have fun trying to make sense of what I wrote!
