Ok.. how about we bring this back to the topic, which was New Line's decision to put Hairspray on the Big Screen in 2006...

I'm not being mean I'm being truthful I recall and episode not to long ago where she couldn't read a script for something and that's what she sounded like. The people around her had to tell her what the words where. It's just the truth I don't like being mean.

OK if we shall go back to the topic I'm excited but not at the same time I hope it does well in the adaptation back to the big screen

Yay! I Cant wait!!

I REALLY want Harvey and Marissa to do the film. If Ashton Kutcher can sing, he'd make a great Link.

[Phantom2]

Posted: 3/5/04 at 5:55pm

Maybe he can understudy the role! Always a bridesmaid, but never the bride... HAHA

Hellooooo, there is no better Link, only one person can, should and MUST play Link !!! Mistress, a little back up please ? I was so shocked you mentioned someone else in your list two pages ago. This is NOT negotiable !! At least we two shouldn't even think about anyone else :)

Take care

Posted: 3/5/04 at 6:02pm

GMF, my list was purely joke... the guy I listed as link was the ugliest actor I could think of at the time... Of course Id like to see Matt play Link. You thought my list was serious????

Of course not, but I refuse to think of anyone else, not even as a joke :)

Take care

ok Corine, sure Kristen, she is ONLY 36, she is great but is that not stretching it a bit??!! I do agree that Jimmy Marsden would make an incredible Link, and since he did x-men with Hugh Jackman, why not Hugh for Corny, Jimmy is 30 though.....hmmmmm

Posted: 3/6/04 at 1:03am

Richard looks 30.

*hides*

Well, Marissa may be able to pull off "teenager" on stage, but will the camera be that kind to a 31 year old woman? If you are going to cast someone who is not age appropriate, may I submit for your consideration MISS MINDY COHN? Star power AND marquee valued name...what a combo.

[Corine2]

Posted: 3/6/04 at 9:44am

Kristen looks 12 and no it is not stretching it she does not look any older then Marissa. Go and see her in Wicked.
She can get away with a teenager and looks younger then all of the Hairspray cast.
She is about four feet tall and is very youthful.

Yes being in tv production Marissa, Kerry and Kristin would all pass for teenagers. They all look like teenagers and with a good camera man it will work.
Better to have strong singers in the roles then teenagers that can't perform.
A good example- They got Richard Gere for Chicago because of star quality but the man did not do half the job of Brent Barrett. Listening to him sing made me want to cry. Brent is a better Flynn, more attractive and the voice of a god.
I hope the film version of Hairspray uses people who can sing.
