i say Wicked will be one in 2010.
I'd love a revamped Hairspray, but like ala Rent w/ the OBC thing.

Posted: 6/15/05 at 6:22pmI know this is mocking thread but seriously MAKE MISS SAIGON INTO A MOVIE ALREADY! It's about time don't ya think?
#27re: Next Movie-Musical?
Posted: 6/15/05 at 6:35pmactually.... i would like to see miss saigon on the big screen, although the 8 ball says it would probably tank big time.
#28re: Next Movie-Musical?
Posted: 6/15/05 at 6:46pmwhat does the 8 ball say about Girl Group Time Travelers: The Movie!
#29re: Next Movie-Musical?

I don't think it would bomb! Can you imagine a fast paced trailer with the evacuation scene music blazing in the background. The image of the helicopter landing in a dark street with people manicaly running round it and the rain pouring down... then the screen goes black, the music to the sacred bird starts, a spot light is on Chris holding Kim! Only it's in sillohette and we just here him scream then suddenly MISS SAIGON appears on the screen. A montage of images in and around the helicopter obviously... i recokon it would attract a lot of curiosity!

Adam Chris, tell your magic 8 ball that Sally Brown is very please with the future it has in store for me and my husbands. I'm in love with your magic ball.
I can fully see Miss Saigon!

I dont think wicked should be on the big screen, or any screen, its a stage show dammit. and if they did make one, i wouldnt see it unless they had the obc( thats right, idina kristin, michelle, and norbert and the chorus.) do it.
But also, am i the only one who think there should be a remake of POTO, with the entire cast and crew except Emmy and the phantom? Emmy Rossum sucked, and the phantom sucked. I mean if they were dubbed it might have been a little more satisfying. I dont know if its just me, but the phantom makes a big hipe about his own personal musical talents and christines talents so shouldnt they have had better voices? emmy was weak, and childish, and then the phantom had a damn lisp. speech impediment+ lisp = beautiful thrilling music? i think not. On the upside, it was visually stunning, and minnie driver kicked ass, and Partick wilson.....mmmmmm...Patrick Wilson......mmmmmmm.

Posted: 6/15/05 at 11:22pmi loved the movie, but everyone has their own opinions
#38re: Next Movie-Musical?
Posted: 6/15/05 at 11:25pmI loved it too, in fact i watched it three times in a row the first night. (i had nothing better to do), but I thought emmy was supposed to be a big opera singer? maybe she was just acting, but i dont like her voice. But then again, she was only 17. so i'll have to give her her props.
#39re: Next Movie-Musical?
Posted: 6/15/05 at 11:28pmYes, give her props! heh

Posted: 6/15/05 at 11:33pmI agree, Spamalot should be a movie, not the holy grail, but the new musical. With the obc.

Posted: 6/16/05 at 1:49amWow..Asphalt Beach sounds awesome...when's it suppose to come out? Chenoweth and Lippa...

Eh. Spamalot as a movie strikes me as redundant and taking away from Holy Grail.
I agree with Piazza as a fantastic movie.

Posted: 6/16/05 at 3:21amWicked's already in the works to be a movie. Back in December, there was an article about Britney Spears wanting to audition for the role of Elphaba after seeing the show. She loved it. Not joking.
#46re: Next Movie-Musical?
Posted: 6/16/05 at 3:32amIf Britney Spears played elphaba on broadway i would seriously hang myself.
#47re: Next Movie-Musical?
Posted: 6/16/05 at 12:55pmi would not see the movie version of Wicked if they gave Elphaba to Britney Spears and i love the show! But they need to being back the OBC if they make a movie version of Wicked.

I would see it just to get a laugh...
Imagine Elphaba humping the ground to "The Wizard and I"
....THAT'S what Britney would do to the role....

I would LOVE to see a television version of 42nd Street. I love the old Warner Bros. movie, but let's face it - it and the stage show are worlds apart. Get Patrick Cassidy to play Julian, Christine Ebersole to play Dorothy, Sutton Foster as Peggy Sawyer, Faith Prince as Maggie... it'd be PHENOMENAL. (And with the exception of Sutton, these are also faces - if not names - people are familiar with from movies and television.)
