With all these new re-made movies for the musical (Hairspray, The Producers) and movies of musicals (POTO, Rent) shouldn't they remake The FUll MONTY into a movie-musical???

I think sooo

Hell no.


Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Why not?

Did you like the Bway show?

If not, then obviously you wouldn't want to see it as a movie

What about Les Mis as a movie-musical (that follows the show)

Les mis would be diffiult. I trust you saw the horrid interpretation of the book With Geoffery Rush (the only one I liked) and Claire Danes. As much as Id like to see a movie musical, Id be very afraid lol

Don't ever mention that trash again.

I am not even talking about the show now, that movie does not do justice to the book even!

Miss Saigon as a movie would be amazing, with Lea in it...

I hated the original movie of Full Monty so adding songs would only make it longer. No thanks.

Listen to the CD (if you've never seen the show) with an open mind.....

I agree Barnaby. I think Miss Saigon would make a fantastic movie musical. But it couldn't be done by anyon who has preconceptions of how a movie musical should be done. Can you imagine: a musical set during Vietnam on screen without the benefit of the willing suspension of disbelief that we have in the theatre? Oy. The possibilities for disaster are everywhere! But if it was done by, say, oh, I don't know, Sam friggin Mendes!!!! then he would be able to extract the reality from the facade that usually comes with musicals. Let's face it folks, it's HARD to make musical films not be kitschy.
I'd love a Les Mis film BTW.... re: The Full Monty....movie


Word. Word, indeed.

Oh come on, how can you say the Les Mis movie is trash (Sarcasm sarcasm) I mean Javerts Death and setting Liam Neeson free to live a happy life afterwards wasnt a great ending for you!? XD
