MERYL STREEP To Star In MAMMA MIA! Movie?? — Page 6

I think Streep is a great choice, she can really hit those high notes. I like the idea of Goldie Hawn as Tanya and Bette Middler as Rosie. But, I wouldn't mind to see Rosie as Rosie.

Yeah the soundtrack is great, that means we don't have to deal with the awful London Cast Recording for much longer!

Love Meryl, Love that a movie of this super-fun show is being made, LOVE that it will be shot in Greece !!!!

And as much as I love Olivia, really, does anyone believe that she is a box-office draw ??? Studios are interested only in making money ! Wonderful, sweet, talented but forgotten Olivia never had a chance !

Stupid question

Is the american production of this done with american accents or have they kept it British?

Ok, I have just checked up Anne Hathaway. She looks just like the woman on the Mamma Mia playbill, only more gorgeous and with a comedic twist. She has the star power and obviously good chemistry with Meryl Streep (that prada movie). And she can sing! She is definetely somebody to love and i think she is the perfect fit. Only question, can she hit all the high notes and can she come off as a convincing daughter to Streep?

Even if they don't go for a blond streep and a brunette Hathaway which actually could be fun, they do have different eyes. But i think this could make for some good lines in the beginning of the movie when Sophie is starting to wonder who her father could be. Streep could say something like: "Although it was I who brought you up i think your father gave you your eyes", which could have a double meaning if she in the beginning would be critical of Sophies choice of future husband, or just implying that it's up to Sophie to choose.

Finally, Is there any betting firm that take bets on which actors who will star in specific movies?

Mandy Mooore would be a wonderful Sophie.

If the woman can sing, why didn't they try and get her to be Lovett in Sweeney? I think that would have been a better choice that HBC... I love Meryl Streep...

Okay, I'm watching Prairie Home Companion and still don't get the whole Streep-has-a-great-voice thing. She sounds strong and good within a 5 note range. Anything above that, the voice immediately pulls back and becomes soft and weak.

Her acting is great though - I prefer her acting in this to Prada - she's really throwing herself into that one.

She was going to play Evita. Oliver Stone was going to direct, Paula Abdul was going to choregoraph. Streep pulled out before shooting started, citing exhausting I think. Circa 1989 or so.
