More RENT MOVIE News (i.e. more Columbus quotes that should temper some of the hysteria here) — Page 4

I don't think we'll see any OBC members if we don't see all of them. Most have said in interviews that they wouldn't go back unless they all did it together.

I think Eden Espinosa would be great for mimi, someone said queen latifa (sp?) for Joanne...I think that would be BRILLIANT. I could see Wayne Brady playing Collins nicely. Jai would be fabulous for Angel, I wouldn't mind John Stamos as Roger...too bad he's not 20 years younger because she's hot stuff Maggie Benjamin is INCREDIBLE as Maureen. I would love to see hre cast. I think Usher would probably be good as Benny. As far as Mark goes...I don't really have any ideas. I would like to see Chris Fitzgerald have a shot, I think he could do Mark nicely.

That's just me.

Thank you!

I was kinda freaking out because when I read that he hadnt casted it yet. I thought: Were the last like 8 months a dream...oh my. I am a loser.

ha, this WILL be a fun read, I think. It'll be fun to come back to once we've all seen the movie, too.

Ya it's kinda funny how no one thought any of the Original Broadway Cast would be cast in the movie! Boy were we wrong!

Well I'm pretty much happy with everything about the movie that they've done. Now we just have to wait.

I'm so grateful that Chris cast the OBC cast, because it could have just as easily have gone to a bunch of "pop" stars and it would have butchered the show for me. I love that... and thanks for bringing it out again... wow I can't believe that it's all over and done with filming.
