Is it really THAT hard to do Guys and Dolls justice? Do people ENJOY butchering this show?

Jason Statham? The only part I could see him in is Big Julie. Total waste of a B+ actor.

If anyone can mess up Guys & Dolls worse than McAnuff, it's Guy Ritchie. Though it's too bad Madonna's not still around to step in as Adelaide!

Justin Timberlake makes me want to spontaneously combust. Can't we just send him to a distant planet where he will no longer be able to foist his arrogant face into every piece of mainsteam art?

Justin Timberlake makes me want to pull an Inspector Javert over the nearest bridge.
Seriously, up until this year, people considered Guys and Dolls impossible to screw up. I guess they're trying to prove otherwise.

It might work!
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Anyone who's seen Timberlake host SNL knows he's hilarious. Anyone who's seen him perform knows he has swagger. He might be a good fit.
Lord knows they can't rearrange the music any worse than the recently closed revival did.
The real item of concern is Guy Ritchie. Making hard-edged British gangster films does not qualify you to make charming American gangster musical comedies.

I saw Timberlake on SNL. He is not hilarious. He is a smug, arrogant dickhead. If I'm looking for hilarity, I'll stick with Martin Short and Dana Carvey, thank you very much.

Justin Timberlake is one of the most consistenly hilarious regular SNL hosts they have who is under 50 years old. He is the one who will join the ranks of Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin in the frequent host category.

Something tells me that once SHERLOCK HOLMES bombs at a theater near you, this project will go the way of....well the last time they were throwing around a G&D remake with Nicole Kidman and Vin Diesel.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Guy Ritchie and his man crush on Jason Statham is WORSE than Tim Burton's obsession with Johnny Depp.
At least the latter is actually a good actor who has repeatedly proved how versatile he is.
Jason Statham plays the exact same character in everything he is in, regardless of whether it is written in the script.
Worse. Idea. Ever.

I've said it b4, Vin LOVES G&D and would make a pretty passable Nathan Detroit.

I think Vin Diesel is actually a better actor than people give him credit for.

I said years ago that Ritchie had a musical eye and that SNATCH would make a good musical with the right composers but this news of Timberlake makes this project MUCH more exciting.
Now get an amazing Adelaide and I'll really start getting excited. I vote for Downy Jr. instead of Stathan tho. Boy can sing!

"aw hell no. he sounds and looks like a little girl. dnw ever."
Exactly.
"And he's going to play Sky???"
Well, assuming he even ends up getting cast, one would assume.
I don't particularly like Ewan McGregor's singing voice, but if they need a "name" in the role, why not him?
