Which member of One Direction is the most talented? OMG he should totally be Chris!

Vocally she can pull it off, I'm just not sure she can emotionally. Depends when they film it, she'd be better in a year or 2.

Ana Maria Perez de Tagle? Really???

Why not find an unknown and put big names in as Chris and The Engineer? Lea was an unknown.

It looks like they're just thinking, "Is she Asian? She is now considered!"

I'd like to put my name in for Tam, then.

I can't stand her. She is such a robot and lacks any emotional depth when she sings.

I'm actually all for Anna Maria Perez de Tagle...

But, more importantly, I've ALWAYS thought this show would make an incredible film in the right hands. If Lee Daniels continues with the project, this has some pretty amazing potential!

Happy.

Hell no! I hated her on AI. I was so glad when Philip won.

In five years everyone on these boards who are saying, "I hate Jessica Sanchez" will be pawing her superstar image saying, "I knew she'd be big when she was on Idol..."

^ Pretty much! lol

I actually think she's very talented, so vocally mature for her age. I think she could handle. Sure she may need some acting classes, but I believe in her!

I was wondering about the statis of this movie, I have been guessing it might have been put on the backburner because of Les Mis or other reasons.

I loved Jessica on AI and was rooting for her to win. If she gets the role, I am sure she would be good vocally. I don't know anything about her acting ablity.

i love jessica. what a talented girl. i think this is just a rumor but if it comes into fruition, i think she'd be perfect for kim and she can bring something different to the character. gritty and raw.

Too young to tackle a role like this, talent aside. Plain and simple.

They could just do what the Cairns Musical Theatre company did, color blind the casting and hire a 40 year white woman to play the role and light her in a hue of yellow!

Mackintosh's FB page linked to one of these articles suggesting Sanchez as Kim. Perhaps they are actually feeling things out.

She is only a year younger than Jonna Ampil was when she first tackled the role, which was Kim's exact age at the beginning of the show. I don't think age has much to do with it. Talent is another story.
