Heh...I don't really see him as the Beadle. Who else could he be playing? Maybe some speaking part that they added in or something...

Jonas Fogg?

That would be awesome! He's a great singer.

I could definitely see him as the beadle, no matter the interpretation. Jolly or deadpan. He'd be fine as Fogg I suppose, but I want him to have the bigger role.

*snorts at imagining him playing Tobias*

Total guess, but I just have a feeling it's the Beadle.

"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli

I think the Beadle needs to have more of a physical contrast to the Judge. He and Alan Rickman are too much the same "type."

Well one role that won't go to him is Judge Turpin. It's been confirmed that Alan Rickman will be playing the Judge in the movie. The linkto the article is posted below...

He was great in that Rocky Horror 25th Anniversary event a few years back.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

I see him as Fogg myself, but it'll be interesting to see whatever. :3

Sometimes he comes into the shop where I work. Now I hope I see him again soon so I can pummel him for information! Mind you, they keep talking about how Johnny Depp wants to move to our city, and I'd probably bully him for information too if I saw him. XD
