Hi Anthony,
I am so excited for all of you, the concept of Rent as a movie honestly scared me at first, but the vibe seems so positive now and I love that the people Mr. Larson created this with are going to be involved...I am so thrilled with this news! The vibe is so positive I can't wait to see it! I wish all of you the best of luck!

Thanks again for keeping us updated, Anthony. It sounds like Jon's vision will still be kept alive in the movie, and I can't wait to see it.

Quick question - Has the filming dates and locations been suggested or set yet?

(A plug - I know the exteriors will have to be filmed in NYC, but, you know, Vancouver's got a great production crew and a lot of RENTheads. Just...you know...a suggestion.)

You know, Florida does too...just kidding. We only get hurricanes here...and tourists.

Thanks for all the reassurances, now I'm even more excited than before.

White Boy Spice sounds like a cologne.

Long time no see, StateofJade!

But who could forget our well-known wanker?

And if you do choose to post again, Anthony, will you explain the origin of your screename?

And when will casting be announced? Any ideas?

Did you just call Anthony a wanker? Oh man, that sound you hear are a million Bowlers hunting you down.

[insomniak]

No, StateofJade is Rosetint03 on CB, and there was something about her being a well-known wanker on there once.

Hi, Rosetint...or Jade...How come you didn't tell me you were on BWW?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 6:29pm

As who, jdanton?

[insomniak]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 6:29pm

What is 'jdanton', Emcee?

[BroadwayDiva]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 6:33pm

Insomniak- "Jdanton" is a BWWer who posted: anybody hear any news on whether tamyra gray is being casted for the movie version? i heard rumors she either had been or was trying out for it.

I was asking what part she'd be trying for.

Posted: 10/29/04 at 6:36pm

Mimi? I don't know. I remember hearing her on "Idol", but I can't think of what part she could sing.

[Whiteboy Spice]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 6:41pm

Whiteboy Spice is a reference to a joke I once made at a Borders bookstore event in Chicago. Someone asked me if I were a Spice Girl what my name would be, and I said Whiteboy Spice.

Yeah. That's funny, huh?

Ahem.

Take care --

Anthony

I think I heard she was good...

A little bird brought up Jamie Lee Kirchner's name. (Mimi of the last tour)

[N0tThatGirl213]

Posted: 10/29/04 at 6:45pm

I'd love to see Jaime Lee cast...She's really got the "little girl" element that I think is very prevalent in the screenplay. And she's got a killer voice.

Anthony--That just made my night. Again. Thank you.

Hilarious, Anthony. Very...creative? ::nodding supportively::

Can we ask you stuff not related to RENT, or will people get mad at me? (Yes, Anthony had a career pre- and post-Mark.) I'd PM you but I'm sure you're already swamped with PMs on here and on Compulsive Bowlers and I don't want to bother you.

There are shows besides Rent? REALLY!?!?!? OH MY GOD!

Thanks for the laugh, Anthony.
