Just thinking about Jeremy Jordan singing "The Next Ten Minutes" is already making my panties extremely moist.

He's the frontrunner. Didn't they say the same thing about Swift as Eponine?

I'm glad for him, but I find the fact that Anna Kendrick will be the female lead much more exciting.

Broadway.com has learned that the Newsies and Smash star is the frontrunner to play Jamie opposite Anna Kendrick’s Cathy in the upcoming film version of Jason Robert Brown’s The Last Five Years.

With all due respect, he's a 'frontrunner'. No where in that sentence does it state he is confirmed.

Now back to our regular program, already in progress.

Well this gay man is more excited for Anna Kendrick too. I'm not a huge Jeremy fan.

I was hoping for Aaron Tveit (or in my perfect world, Michael Arden), but I'll take Jeremy over Hollywood stunt casting.

I was really hoping for Joseph Gordon-Levitt but Jermey Jordan is good choice!

You beat me to it, MB. I was going to say that. He doesn't look ethnically Jewish to me (she sure looks more so than he).

Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be perfec, but I'll take Jeremy Jordan.

JGL could not sing the score. And wicked1492 needs your ears checked.

Same here. Can't stand his signature WHAYL pop style. Even on Smash, it was insufferable. Pairing him with Kerry Butler and her allergy to consonants would make the film perfectly unwatchable for me.

Oof. This is going to be roughs sauce. He looks too young to be having a child and the know how to have been through all the stuff he's singing about.

Well I dare you to suggest anyone who looks even a tad older, as I've tried to do because you'll be met with screams of how they'd be too old.

Frick, now I'm really going to find it difficult to hate Jamie. I can't even hate Jimmy on Smash and he's like 1000000x the jerk Jamie is.

Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

Eek. Agree with the comments that she looks more Jewish than he does. We'll see though.
