I actually think that britney murphy might actually pull of something like Amneris.


"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

I Think Kelly is more vocally trained than Brittney Murphy.

i always wanted Tamyra Gray to play aida in the stage version, but i dont think she is a big enough name for the movie.

Too bad the big ol' vioces from the past are too old for the roles, like Whitney, Celine and Bon Jovi, lol.

Aida- NOT BEYONCE!!!!!! NOT ALICIA KEYS!!!! NOT R & B OR POP SINGER!!!!!! This part is written for a someone who has a powerful voice and who is a good actor, neither of these women could pull it off.

Radames: NOT ZAC EFRON! NOT ADAM PASCAL!!

Amneris: NOT KELLY CLARKSON!!! I can't beleive anyone even mentioned her, did you see "From Justin to Kelly"? Acting is required for this role!!! I am thinking Emily Blunt.....she can sing....Brittany Murphy would be good too! Kelly clarkson, ha ha ha that's a good one.....

I agree with Spacedog78, NO R & B OR POP SINGER!!

Aida: It would be nice for a relatively new person on the scene to do it. Or a throwback to the Toronto Lion King and RENT cast, get Saskia Garel to do it.
Rademes: Can Jude Law sing???
Amneris: Idina Menzel
Zoser: Love the suggestion of David Bowe!!

Maybe for Aida they could do what they did with Tracy in Hairspray...Find someone who's completely unknown but can really sing/act...



Does anyone have someone in mind for Mereb? Because no matter how hard I try, I just can't think of anyone who would be perfect for that one(I could probably fill a small notebook with all the names I've thought about for that role)...All I know is it needs to be someone good. Because I love 'How I Know You' like a fat kid loves cake and I don't want to see it get butchered...

Yea, let's do the OBC. That way the producers can lose as much money as RENT and The Producers team have! Awesome!

Aida: too bad Heather and Deborah (Cox) are probably too old. I can't really think of a good big name that will fit the part.

Amneris: Jessica Simpson. A dumb (or pretending to be dumb) blonde with a big voice. Perfect fit.

Radames: ...no clue. I wanna say Justin Timberlake, but he's too wimpy sounding to be Radames. Maybe JC Chasez?

Nebhaka: Anika Noni Rose...if she's not too old, then she could be Aida. She looks young enough. In that case, Tracie Thoms or Jennifer Hudson could be Nebhaka.

Zoser: David Bowie

Mereb: Elijah Kelley (Although I think he's too good for such a small part, I just can't think of anyone else who could be better)

Oh dear lord, this again?

Lets see how long it takes for some of these new suggestions to make it into a magazine article.

"Jim Verraros"

That made me laugh out loud... Jim V. passing for a straight soldier (Egyptian aside) is just too funny to imagine.

My Wishes:

Aida: I would love Jennifer Hudson. She has really trimmed down and would be great. Did I mention she can sing? Or Tracie Thoms.

Amneris: Emily Blunt (love her!) or (if she is good out of rehab)Lindsay Lohan. I know Lohan has issues, but she can sing and would being some fun to the role. Is Scarlet Johansenn too old?

Radames: I would love a newcomer. But I think Ryan Gosling would be perfect!

Nehebka: I think Jennifer and Anika are TOO big of names. I think Tracie Thoms would be perfect.

Zoser: David Bowie or, depending on who is cast, Hugh Jackman. Or is he too young?

Mereb: I would love Elijah Kelley, but I think it's to small of a role and talent would be wasted. I think that (dare I say it) Bow Wow would be interesting. But then, Sanjaya's available


What'll end up:

Aida: Beyonce

Radmes: Justin Timberlake

Amneris: Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, or Paris Hilton

Zoser: Elton John

Nehebka: ?

Mereb: Corbin Bleu

Radames: James Mardsen

Amneris: Jessica Simpson
