A person on IMDB claims that the role will go to an unknown from Great Neck, Long Island, New York:

But I wont believe anything until someone posts the official.
will they also be revealing the rest of the cast aswell... or just tracy?

Posted: 6/8/06 at 4:06pm17 seems a bit young. and also this isn't official. i'll wait for my ET announcement in 3 hours
re: Hairspray Film's Turnblad to be Revealed Tonight on CBS's ET#31
Posted: 6/8/06 at 4:13pmYes, how the hell would it get leaked to IMDB if it was supposed to be such a huge press moment to announce it?
re: Hairspray Film's Turnblad to be Revealed Tonight on CBS's ET#32
Posted: 6/8/06 at 4:14pmyeah and the production team and such have been really great about keeping this tracy casting under wraps... it seems almost unlikely it would be leaked with just a few hours to official announcement time

Posted: 6/8/06 at 4:14pm17 young? Isn't she supposed to be in high school?
re: Hairspray Film's Turnblad to be Revealed Tonight on CBS's ET#34
Posted: 6/8/06 at 4:18pm17 is young to be starring in a movie, yes. The character is that age, but since when did anyone start casting people the age of the character? There are ppl in Hairspray on Broadway now in there 30s, and no one under the age of 20 (with the except of standby Michelle Dowdy... 19)

Carly jibson was 18 or 19.
yes, 17 is young -but perfect for the age of Tracy.
anyway- lets wait for the official official announcement

"Yes 17 is young to star in a movie but they were looking for someone that young."
If she can looke the part, and act the part, she doesn't have to sing. Someone else will do that for her (dubbing). Hollywood casts based on looks, acting ability and naturalism - and sometimes they don't care if you can actually ACT!

Next thing you know they'll be casting babies as... BABIES.
They probably could have gotten away with casting all of the teens older, as they did in "Grease," but you have to be consistent across the board or it will look like "Rent" did.
If Tracy is really 17, all of the teens in the film are going to have to be in the 16-25 range, with nobody older than that.
That's why they ran into problems in RENT... when the two new girls were 10 years younger than the rest of the cast... and it SHOWED in such a depressing way on the big screen.

On their June 8th edition, "Entertainment Tonight," is expected to report that 17 year-old Nikki Blonsky of Great Neck, NY will take on the role of heavyset heroine Tracy Turnblad in the upcoming film version of Hairspray. Tune into "Entertainment Tonight" this evening for more information about Blonsky.
--That is from the BWW article

Posted: 6/8/06 at 4:41pmShe's too big a star to play Tracy.

Why don't they just use Ricky Lake again? All she has to do is eat something, then she'll get the weight back.
Ohhhh... that wasn't very nice of me....
re: Hairspray Film's Turnblad to be Revealed Tonight on CBS's ET#42
Posted: 6/8/06 at 4:42pmjust a little threadjack... but is anyone else a bit surprised that Margo Lion has nothing to do with this movie, or just me?
