Posted: 1/20/09 at 8:30pmAs much as I dread the Rocky Remake, I kinda like that cast list (especially Duffy as Columbia, love her) except for Connick Jr. as Rocky, he's a bit too old and famous to accept a role like that.

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

I was looking at this and realized that I didn't really like the entire Into the Woods cast I had picked out. So, let me try again:
Into the Woods
Directed by: Terry Gilliam
Brent Spiner as The Baker
Bebe Neuwirth as The Baker's Wife
Kate Winslet as The Witch
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Jack
Betty White as Jack's Mother
Emily Blunt as Cinderella
Carol Burnett as Cinderella's Step-Mother
Tim Curry as Cinderella's Father
Julie Andrews as Cinderella's Mother
Matthew Morrison as Cinderella's Prince
Neil Patrick Harris as Rapuzel's Prince
Laura Michelle Kelly as Rapunzel
Christopher Lloyd as Mysterious Man
Dakotta Fanning as Little Red Riding Hood
David Bowie as The Wolf
Rowan Atkinson as The Steward
John Cleese as The Narrator
...That'll do. Lol

Posted: 8/23/10 at 9:24amCompany, much like Lady In The Dark, is one of the only musicals in which the "Rob Marshall" effect is genuinely in the show- the entirety of the show's musical numbers do, in fact, take place in the mind of Bobby. It would require some tweaking to make it work on screen, and a slightly stronger and more linear plot to tie the scenes together.

Posted: 8/23/10 at 4:09pmIn no way a full cast, but if Cabaret were to ever be remade, I'd love to see Carey Mulligan as Sally. I don't know why, but I just think she has that Sally Bowles quality about her. Plus, she's English!
