They may have a lot of famous names in the cast, but not one of them doesn't make sense, if not to Broadway, to Hollywood. And remember, Hollywood is paying big money for this property, so it figures they are trying to maximize their potential. Travolta is known all over the world, Harvey F, not so much. The same goes with Queen Latifa, Allison Janey is inspired casting.
Still, clearly, they have respect for the original material.

I thought filming began on Sept. 5th for some reason. I wish I was in town because I would head to Landsdowne and stalk the set.

I hope the film is a big success! I loved the original film and the Broadway show and it will be interesting to see how it turns out as a film musical.

This cast is really getting me excited! Amanda is a gifted comic, she'll be THE perfect Penny for the movie.

When I first saw the picture, I thought she looked like the original film Penny. There is just no way the costumes and hairstyles from the show would work in this film. They are intentionally exaggerated for the stage. The film has to look more realistic. And keep in mind, the 1988 film is the original Hairspray inspiration, so the new film should look more like a musicalized version of it. It shouldn't have all the vibrant neon colors of the stage...it wouldn't work.

woa! I these are great!!! She is so perfect for this part. I would have never thought to cast her. Penny has always been my favorite character... hmm I'm a checkerboard chick too.

I wouldnt agree that it couldnt work in the neon colors, i think it could easily work that way, but it isnt essential either.
One of the reasons the bright colors and altered perspective works in the show is because you get the sense right from Good Morning Baltimore that youre seeing the world from Tracy's bubble gum optimistic eyes. It doesnt appear to be the look theyre going for, but I dont doubt that it was a viable option.
For all we know, they could be filming it in such a way that it looks like it was filmed a few decades ago and then even the most vibrantly colored costumes wouldnt come off as bright as they do on stage. I mean, as awesome as it is to see a picture of Penny in costume, this photo might not resemble the look of the final product. Im excited either way.

Post production/color correction is a wonderful thing.
we will not know the productions vision until we see footage.

I imagine they will amp this up in post. I hope it looks like Douglas Sirk stuff on of Water's influences. Good examples are "Far From Heaven" and "Pleasentville." Palette is very important in film and imagine they've thought this through.

Amada sure looks good as a 60's gal. So pretty.
I'm still having trouble visualizing Trovolta doing Edna's role. Hope he can camp it up enough.

Honesttogod, Mateo, posting the location of the person who supplied the photos was perhaps the dumbest thing I've seen on this board in a long time. Why don't you just give the production company his name and address while you are at it? How much do you want to bet there'll be a nice big tarp blocking his view from now on?
Even though I work in the industry, I don't rat out the people who supply the fans with a few pictures.

They know they are going to be there. Everyone in the area was offered hotel fare by the production, and many have decided to stay.
Its a populated neighborhood.
also- the guy said it on IMDB... so he obviously doesn't care.

Okay, if he outed himself HE'S the idiot.
Sorry.
Keep up the great work.
I'll still bet the tarp the street in front of that building. If I was Travolta's agent or the producers, I'd insist.
