In the new issue of EW (#827/827- June 24/July 1), the magazine features its "Must List" with the most anticipated people and events for the remainder of the year. The cast of the "Rent" movie is featured as #30-37! There is a full page picture of the cast followed by a short column on the film!

BTW... they beat "The Producers" cast on the Must-List! Lane, Broderick, and Thurman were #40-42!

Funny how the biggest paragraph is devoted to talking about some reasons this project is ill-conceived.

huh? Is Idina really 31? I could have sworn she was older than me a few years ago...

The picture is wonderful and the paragraph is strangely negative for a 'MUST' list.

1. Ted Allen: Everyone has an interesting life if you ask the right questions.
2. Great buckets of Spoffnor, they're going to sing!
3. "I love shrubs that are historical." -Johnny and The Sprites
4. "We're not singing it to you, we're singing it for us." -Rosario Dawson, about La Vie Boheme
5. "The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys

Idina just turned 34


I hope that RENT gets to be one of the covers in the fall...THere is the EW Fall Movie Preview and the November 11th issue to hope for

Yeah, EW isn't the smartest of magazines.

Cool picture, it's hard to see, but coolness. Yeah, they got Idina's age wrong, she's 34.

This article articulates precisely why I reserve caution about the reception in Hollywood of this movie.

I wonder if Idina gave them that age (foolish as it exists on imdb.com)... It reminds me of the old days of "Rent" when Daphne's age would change from article to article. I think the NYTimes actually wrote 23 when it opened. HA! (Don't get me wrong--I love Daphne, but she was almost double that).

There aren't enough stars in it for it to be the cover of Entertainment Weekly.

It looks like they got most of the ages at least a "bit" wrong

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

Of course it's negative. It's Entertainment Weekly for heaven's sake. It's their job to be "witty" and "cynical."

God, I hate that magazine.

Cool pic though -- would love to see a larger version.

EW is as prone to falling for (and participating in) hype and celebrity ass-kissing as any other entertainment news source. Their tidbit on Veronica Mars was fluffy enough- I don't think they mentioned the show's abysmal ratings at all.

Then again, Veronica Mars is really good...

No one in that pic looks too old to be in Rent. They just look pretty. Really really pretty. And that is as it should be.

Where in the script is it even implied that these people would be too old for these rolls? Exactly how old are the roles supposed to by, anyway. And more importantly, who cares?

Thanks SO much for the larger pic! I'm still stunned at the beauty of Adam in this movie!

It's breaking my heart that Idina is the pose that Daphne made famous on taxis, etc!!!

Squatting bohemians in their 30s aren't quite the same as squatting bohemians in their 20s. But hey, what do I know? When I saw the show I wanted all of them to just get a damn job.

I think if Mentzel is going to shave some years off her age, which apparently, everyone does, she should "correct" her IMDB page so it matches.

They made more mistakes than I anticipated for a magazine like this. Hopefully there will be more articles in different magazines that will be more positive about the anticipation of the moive.

I'm not a gay stereotype. I'm a coincidence.

Wax Lion says that the photo shoot for Entertainment Weekly reminds him of being backstage at The Nederlander. Not much room in either place, even for a bitty wax lion like himself.
