I'm actually pretty pumped for this, but I definitely don't want to speak too soon...

I feel like this is a weird pick for something on cable TV that has to be censored. My hope is that they don't cut the swears and just beep them out on TV but leave them in for the DVD...

YES!! 

Okay, I don't even care if she's now a little on the oldish side to be playing her- I highkey need me some Naya Rivera as Mimi in my life! I've been wanting to hear her do Out Tonight since at least Season 2 of Glee haha. Pleeease Fox make it happen!

Also a hard YES on Ben Platt as Mark :) 


I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

There's no way this will be anything other than a colossal disaster.

It's FOX.  They F*ck everything up.  Rent?  Live? On Fox?  In prime time with children watching?

Nope.

Lea Michele is the only person who should play Mimi.

Marc Platt is producing. I need Ben as Mark. (I also like the idea of Darren Criss as Roger)

They should bring back the original cast!  OBC 4EVA!

Seriously though, just keep Chris Columbus away from this.

Lea's not Latina, and with such a large pool of talented actresses to choose from I really hope they pick a Latina actress. I'd love to see her as Maureen though!

Lea Michele is going to another network this fall, I believe ABC.

 

After the Rocky Horror debacle, I can't imagine this is going to be good. Frankly I'm just annoyed FOX keeps going for all the shows that have been filmed and/or adapted to movies previously and have a heavy built-in audience. I know they'll throw a whole lot of money at it, but I find the choices lazy.

Wow, no thank you. I can't imagine this being any less of a disaster than Rocky Horror was. 


I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

I really hated their remake of Rocky Horror (who wouldn't?) but I'm not writing this off yet. Besides the language and probably Contact, I'm sure they'll be just fine with the content. Even though Rocky Horror was terrible, it wasn't overly sanitized and that is quite a bit more questionable as far as content goes. Then add in their spectacular direction of Grease and I'm incredibly interested.
