And how do you suggest he got his penis FLAT and rectangular?

Close encounter with a waffle iron?

I am guessing Jamie's initial songs will have several appearences made by Cathy and will slowly decrease as their relationship falls apart, with the opposite occuring in regards to jamie's appearences in Cathy's songs.

^ I was thinking the same thing.

Eh, one of the best parts of TL5Y to me was that they only shared one scene together. It made their final break up way more poignant and affecting

jackieoh, I actually think Kendrick dyed her hair blonde specifically for THE LAST FIVE YEARS in order to look like more of a "Shiksa Goddess" (though she did coincidentally film a movie in Germany between dying it and the start of production).

I agree that brown hair is a better look for her, but she thinks so too- she's said the new color makes her feel very odd and that she'll be going back to her old one as soon as the movie wraps. She looks gorgeous either way, of course. I kind of like the funky style they've seem to have given her Cathy.

You can say that based on a few photos in the Daily Mail?

"Richard LaGravenese is an Oscar-nominated screenwriter coming hot off the success of Behind the Candelabra"

Behind the Candelabra is another film that failed to pick up a major distributor. It ended up as a TV movie for a pay cable channel, which was not the original intention.

as an after thought, don't forget all of the awards and accolades that almost everyone involved with Behind the Candelabra had, and still failed to get a major distributor. As well as a huge fan base. Your argument is a moot point.

"It could do REALLY well as an HBO release if that ends up being the best option."

Agreed

"You can say that based on a few photos in the Daily Mail?"

I didn't compare the two AT ALL. I mentioned that Behind the Candelabra was a success for Richard LaGravenese and put his name back in the mouths of film watchers and critics, and that's it. I also never said The Last Five Years would receive major distribution; I said it would receive distribution. PERIOD. Read carefully, please, before acting like you know everything.

Nevermind, forgot I was on Broadway World.

If anything, I think the casting of Jeremy Jordan is going to be detrimental to the film getting a major release. He's essentially an untested commodity outside of the Broadway world (neither of his on-screen ventures have been particularly memorable or impressive). Producers/distributors might not be willing to take as much of a risk putting this film out there as they might have if they had cast, say, someone like Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Jake Gyllenhaal as Jamie. Not to mention, Anna Kendrick hasn't really had a chance to prove herself as capable of carrying a movie herself yet. Yes, Pitch Perfect did very well, but that was a big surprise and, in my opinion, helped along by all of the Rebel Wilson hype. I don't think she's had a movie since to see whether or not that was a fluke. All of that combined with the fact that The Last Five Years is a lesser known musical makes me think this will wind up in very limited release before hitting Netflix, if not put up for cable distribution, as some have speculated.
