Is it me or does Matthew Broderick look like he put on a few pounds?

I thought Cady photographed very well during her appearance on "Curb Your Enthusiasm". I do wish she and Brad were reprising their roles, even though I agree with a previous point that Brad is too much like Nathan for enough contrast.

The photos are excellent, and it appears that the photography is exceptional. Really looking forward to it!

Do you guys think the film will "kill" ticket sales to the Broadway show?

"Do you guys think the film will "kill" ticket sales to the Broadway show?"

That's an interesting thought, Heart. The CHICAGO film actually boosted ticket sales for the Broadway production. I don't know if PHANTOM got a similar boost.

I think Uma looks fantastic! I have never seen her dance nor heard her sing but I am convinced she's going to be smashing!

I agree, she looks swell as Ulla and the "boys" look tippy tappy in the picture.
To answer your question Master, PHANTOM has gotten a HUGE boost from both the movie and now DVD and it's being a mainstay on TKTS (much like it's big sister CATS did in the past), nearly at 99-100% capacity week to week.

Now regarding THE PRODUCERS film, I'm not so sure..I believe it will only highlight the failure for any Max and Leo other than NL and MB to bring that special "love affair" to life. Roger Bart was great as Leo, but no team has impressed and delighted as muc has the originals.

Several of them have been downright awful.

I'm just beyond glad that Lane and Broderick (and all of US) will have record of their brilliant comic lovefest.THAT'S what it was all about during they're first run in the show and THAT is the secret of getting "Leo and Max" and THE PRODUCERS creatively correct, the leads gotta LOVE each other, joyfully.

I am usually a very positive upbeat person. "You Gotta S-M-I-L-E to be H-A-Double P-Y" should be engraved on my tombstone. I want THE PROCUCERS musical film to be a boffo Boxoffice bonanza with lots of Academy Award nominations and wins.

But I gotta admit...in thse two or three stills I've seen, Uma's Ulla looks kinda dead. She's sultry, but from what I can see, she doesn't have Cady's saucy-eyed oomph.

Lordy, I hope I'm mistaken.

I figured out why Matthew Broderick looks so different - he isn't soaked with sweat!

Sorry if this has already been said... didn't want to read all the posts. Shoot me.

Is anyone else worried about Ferrell fooking it up? I mean, I know it's supposed to be over the top, but... Ferrell...

Aaron27, yes it does appear the MB has put on quit a bit of weight to me as well.

Okay i think Uma looks like a man in drag!.....

I was thinking the other day i wish Angeline Jolie could sing and dance.....now she has the body for Ulla

I hate to be the one to say it, but lets face it someone has to, Uma is the ugliest woman or man for that matter I have ever seen?

I mean really where in the hell does she look like a sexy "woman"???? what is Nathan supposed to look at when he shoves his nose at her cleavage??? Its a shame Cady wasn't allowed to be in the movie...I'd be a little crankie if I were her!!

I love me some Uma.

I just saw the West End production 2 weeks ago, and the pair were fabulous. Fred Applegate as Max absolutely stole the show, and John Gordon Sinclair had great chemistry with him (though his singing was only okay).

Now I never saw Nathan and Matthew, but I was definately impressed at how well those two handled the two roles...

Although I didn't like the stage production (Nathan and Matthew were already gone), I'm looking forward to this movie.

looking forward to the movie as well. haven't seen the show since January 2002 (and i won't see it again) but i'm eager to see how the musical translates to the screen. I'm also interested to see how Uma Thurman does as Ulla.
