Let's predict the next musical-turned-movies!
Avenue Q (maybe like a sitcom would be great! Like a demented half hour of Seseme Street gone bad!
42nd Street (I smell a TV movie!)
Spamalot
Hey maybe even Wicked, although I'm against the idea...

Posted: 6/15/05 at 5:04pmAvenue Q was originally workshopped to be a television show, but Seller saw it and thought it could be made into a musical. The original only had about 6 songs in it too.

Posted: 6/15/05 at 5:04pm42nd Street was already a movie musical, and after Rent I'm hoping that it's going to be The Producers, because its so funny.
need to defrag my brain.

I can actaully see Hairspray as a movie. Like, a newer Grease thing, you know?
But I think Light in the Piazza could make for a really amazing movie.....

The Producers is being filmed as we speak, and Spamalot IS a movie. HEy, wouldn't it be cool if they did, like, an animated version of Beauty and the Beast or maybe even the Lion King? I bet that would work pretty well.

Posted: 6/15/05 at 5:13pmSHUT UP (lol) I know Spamalot is a movie, but it's not a MUSICAL. Hehe

Posted: 6/15/05 at 5:14pmYeah. I still can't believe that over 80% of the musical was directly form the musical. But hey, it was hilarious.

My predictions:
I bet we'll see a movie of RENT really soon. It would be cool if it came out before Thanksgiving... of course...who knows, this is just a predicition.
I also foresee perhaps a movie musical of the Producers...maybe around Christmas.
I think it would be a great idea if "they" started toying around with the idea of doing Dreamgirls, Hairspray and Sunset Blvd. Dont quote me on it....these, after all, are just predictions.

It's RENT and THE PRODUCERS for 2005 on the big screen, and MUPPETS' WIZARD OF OZ, REEFER MADNESS, and ONCE UPON A MATTRESS on television.
Next year we have DREAMGIRLS, ASPHALT BEACH, and HAIRSPRAY (90%) on the big screen.
The following year will be BAT BOY (50%) & SWEENEY TODD (50%)
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Yeah Adam Chris I thinktheyshould try to finally tackle "Dreamgirls" as it is long overdue.
I mean, anything's possible, right?
#15re: Next Movie-Musical?

i also predict (with the help of my magic 8 ball) that they'll probably pack DREAMGIRLS with a bunch of hollywood stars... like say....beyonce or eddie murphy or jamie foxx. but then again... i could be wrong.
this is just a prediction!

Posted: 6/15/05 at 5:46pmWell, once your movie becomes a hit, you can split the money with the magic 8 ball. What does it say about me marrying Ewan McGregor or Gerard Butler?

Posted: 6/15/05 at 5:56pmHaha. We should just be happy with each movie-musical as they come and never expect another one after it. They can be pretty rare and we wouldnt want to jinx anything! Besides, there is always talk and then 10 years later a movie comes out - hopefully. I mean, we heard about the Phantom movie for AGES - Rent as well.
