Rent is filming

<>

That's hilarious.

Although I gotta say, there's plenty of gritty parts of New York to film in. I don't buy that as the main reason.

I bet it's the opening number.

I wanna see pics from yesterday, can you put them up to share? Pretty please? :)

Where can you find the pictures of the shoot? And does anyone know who has been cast in the movie?

Thanks a lot! That's awesome!

I was at the set last night to watch and it was awesome! The extras were wearing Happy New Years party hats, holding noise makers, etc. The put some fake snow in the street, Christmas lights on the buildings, etc. They were also setting fireworks off over the street! Way cool! I was fortunate enough to be standing in an area where the cast was rehearsing the shot. Rosario was wearing the tight blue Mimi pants and she looked fantastic in them and Idina was in the catsuit.

They were having a hard time dealing with all of the residents of Sixth Street though, who are homeless and drunk and pretty crazy. They had a lot of security but they were still having a hard time dealing with it all and there was extra concern because the homeless people kept walking through the streets of the set right next to the fireworks. Plus, a bunch of people brought their dogs and some didn't have leashes.

It was a fantastic time though! I had a lot of fun.

Yeah, I saw the whole cast, minus Taye. They were all rehearsing the scene together in a group. Adam looked good - I failed to notice much of his costume, sorry - but he was holding a wine bottle and Rosario for the scene was walking like arm-in-arm with him. Anthony looked fantastic as well, and it seemed as if his character was acting less drunk than the rest of them, if that makes any sense. Wilson was wearing this absolutely fabulous pinkish dress with some amazing pink shoes. He wears it well!

Wilson was in a blonde wig - forgot to mention that. Adam's hair was the long and wavy look he has been sporting.

If you go to the Compulsive Bowlers board and look through the Rent Movie topic you'll find some links to some pictures. :)

I didn't take pictures. Sorry!

I thought of this randomly after the mention of Wilson's costume: Is he going to be in drag for the entire movie?

Because Angel's not in drag for the whole show, but the parts that he isn't in drag (You Okay Honey, Seasons of Love, Finale) have been changed around, so I was just wondering if anyone else had any speculation.

Ohhhh so excited! Snow in SF, that's not something you hear about very often. :-P And 100 huzzahs for the blue pants!

How was Wilson's wig? Was it the long and flowy one they have in the musical, or that god-awful short one they started with back in '96?

Holy moly, I hope it's the former.
