This sounds like a trainwreck.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

After I read this I ran around my apartment screaming and throwing things, reacting just as I would had I typed it out here, freaking out like a wet cat over something that will never happen.

Seriously? Does ANYONE think this is a good idea?

Would it also be prematurely overreacting if they announced Lea Michelle will be playing the role of Annie?

Once Justin and Quvenzhané finish Annie, they can do a reboot of Diff'rent Strokes. I'm seeing Melissa McCarthy as Mrs. Garrett.

...all of which explains why Sony has denied the rumor.

There is only one other person who can play Mrs. Garrett and that's Paul Vogt.

^ If that were to happen I hope Ms. Hannigan will give that brother of her's a piece of mind and whack him with her purse like she did in the 1982 film.

Honestly, if it is a modern take on the material set in current day, I don't think an über-wealthy thirty-something celebrity adopting a child of a different race THAT far-fetched. As long as it doesn't get all Woody Allen or anything.

He'll play Rooster.

Actually, all Lance Bass joking aside, I think JUSTIN would make an adequate Rooster. But Daddy Warbucks is not a role for him.

I couldn't agree more. He's too young for Warbucks. He'd be great as Rooster, but I bet Hollywood feels his name is too big for such a "small" role.

Who says Rooster would be small. And, Justin excels in small roles and ensembles.. He hasn't exactly carried a big movie.

I think he'd be great.

Completely agree! When I first read the title of the thread I thought this was for the current revival, and I kind of freaked out a little, but for a modern take on film I could totally see it.

He'd make an awesome Rooster, but I can't see him as Warbucks. I thought this was going to be an all black remake.

Black orphan. White benefactor. Seen that before.

Except "orphanages" don't exist in this country any more. Miss Hannigan would have to be a foster parent.

What social worker in their right mind would let Miss Hannigan be a foster parent?
