ANOTHER JCS film??! Why? — Page 2

How did you find out about it? Were you browsing a shop or an online store or was it word-of-mouth? Or did you see a poster on the side of a bus? 'Cos when someone says "publicised", they tend to mean there was no big fanfare; it just happened, and the people in the street were none the wiser.

Im going for David Cook as Judas. YesYESYEEEEEEEEEES

I love JCS and hope it does get made. NOT with Ted tho. Please not with Ted!

I think the film has a lot of potential. The 2000 video was pretty terrible. Glenn Carter was certainly not my favorite. In Jerome Pradon's defense, he requested several times NOT to play Judas. He knew he couldn't sing it.

The challenge that JCS faces is making itself current. I've noticed over the past few years that it has become a family show. I think for the film to work, they would need the same edge, the same controversy that resonated with the original show. At the same time, they need to update it's orchestrations, make it more current sounding, but without dramatically changing the score.

Also to work they need a young, hip and famous cast. I doubt any broadway stars will be cast as, unfortunately, they don't bring in the movie ticket sales. But finding an A list celebrity to pull of Jesus and Judas will be difficult. They are both ridiculously hard to sing (just ask Ben Vereen).

So, in my opinion, basically they need someone ridiculously famous who can sing one of the hardest vocals in musical theatre, update it, make it hip and controversial (to adhere to the original spirit of the show) and create an entirely new sound


If it goes through, it will be interesting.

any pictures of that recent london production?

Pictures are included with the remastered studio recording with Steve Balsamo.
