Chord Overstreet... ??? How is he even considered an option?
#3

Aaron Tveit looks like he could only be considered for the Adult male roles.

Is Tom Selleck too old?

I was sure you were going to suggest Harvey Firestein, Jordy.

Andy Griffith is still alive. But I see him more of a Hanschen, though.

Tveit is too old... Besides Jon and Hunter, these choices are really random for Melchior.

Jonathan Groff, Hunter Parish and Stark Sands all have experience being naked on camera so I say it should be one of them.

I wouldn't be surprised if they offered the role to Bieber. Not sure how he would be in the role as I have actually never heard him sing (that I know of) and am unaware of his acting creds. But he IS the right age and he would bring in the teeny boppers. Though they might have a hard time getting into an R rated flick, and then that sex scene would shock them.

Chord Overstreet should only be considered for Justin in "Queer as Folk: The Musical".

Stark "Aged 33" Sands... seriously?

Of this batch of young men, if they look the right age for Melchior, they can't sing it. It is not a role that can be faked.
We all know Groff can sing it even if there are tiny crow's feet lurking around his eyes. Then again, if Lea Michele is up there repeating her role, Groff will look just fine. Too young in fact.

If Lea gets the role of Wendla, I doubt she'd do it without Groff, especially considering how they are essentially attached at the hip and she has made it clear she loved doing the role with him.
Chord and Darren couldn't sing it or act it, Tveit and Stark are too old, Nick is a tossup and I'd not mind him doing it, same with Zac. I hated Hunter's Melchior on Broadway, so I'd rather not relived that on screen, so out of the options - I'd go with Groff.

Literally none of these options are okay for this. I could see Aaron playing the Adult Male for sure. I would love to see Chris Colfer take on Ernst. I personally do not agree with a movie adaptation of this mainly because it is going to lose so much power from the stage to the screen. But we will see. As for Melchior, I say cast an unknown. Plus, they aren't going to look the correct age (Unless they get lucky in casting) because they will look for someone 18 or older so they can do the nudity.

HIGHLY doubt Nick Jonas would do it, if he even is a candidate.

"because they will look for someone 18 or older so they can do the nudity."
Stephen Daldry as director of the film might solve both of your concerns. His films can be very theatrical, and he could cast a 17 year old boy and wait until the teen's 18th birthday to film the nude scenes, as he did with THE READER.

^Since you mentioned The Reader I think David Kross would make a great Melchior if he can sing. He already showed everything in The Reader, and he's actually German isn't he?
#23
Posted: 2/19/12 at 1:56am
Yes he is German, and wasn't David Kross 16 when they started filming?
I think Stephen Daldry would be a GREAT director to take on this project.
Of the choices above, Nick Jonas makes the most sense look and age wise. Between Groff and Parrish, I would much rather see Hunter take on the role.

^David Kross could also be great as Hanschen if they don't want him as Melchior.
