Thank you very much, Marc! I can't begin to tell say how excited I am for this movie, and every tidbit that you share with us is greatly appreciated! The cast and costumes both look great!

Cool!! Thanks Marc! What about John Travolta? How's he going to do this?

Why Zac Effron? I'm pretty much in love with the entire project except for him.

These pictures look absolutely amazing! The actors already give me the chills--they right into the time period! I can't wait to see the full-on costumes. My favorite of the posted pictures are the two of Tabitha Lupien--she's adorable! She looks like she's having SO much fun and her dresses are really nice! (Hopefully those two stay on--so cute!)

The only thing about the movie that disappoints me is the fact that I'll probably still be in Japan when it's released to the silver screen, which means that I'll have to wait for the DVD. Torture, I tell you! Torture!! I've been waiting for this movie for so long!

If you're considering fan suggestions for the DVD release (however premature this may be), if there are any numbers that wind up being cut (or if numbers from the musical are filmed but not put into the movie due to new songs, etc), it would be nice to have the ability to click an option to play the songs in with the rest of the movie. I'm always sad when I watch extras and I can't watch them in their intended locations with the rest of the movie because it wrecks the flow. That's one reason that I was willing to spend a fortune for the LOTR extended versions!!


Thank you again for giving us the 'inside scoop' as you create the movie, Marc! It's moments like this that make me love the fact that I'm a part of this community (even if I DO lurk more than I post!)

Thank you so much! Arigatou gozaimasu!!

This is like watching a "making of" featurette on the DVD before the movie has even been released! Thanks Marc!

I will, Mateo! (I'll snap some pics of any old PGSM billboards that I may find and send them to you, too...or Sera Myu ads! <3)

Thread-Jack: I'm actually going to be blogging my experiences on LJ if you're interested.... (I leave this coming Saturday! So nervous!!!)

Nice pictures, Mr Shaiman.
I'm still upset that you did not use Harvey, Vilanch, Matt Morrison, Chester Gregory but life is short. So, congratulations.
I admire you but I still would have loved to have seen the original Hairspray cast in this film.
I will still see it with Travolta. Who knows, he could impress me.
He was one of my first crushes in Grease. I can't imagine him as Edna. You never know.
I still like to think of Travolta as a sex symbol.
Seeing him as Edna is a big stretch. Sort of like seeing myself as Ms Universe. HA HA. Updated On: 8/1/06 at 06:00 PM

One, Matt Morrison is too old to fit with the teenagery look of the rest of that 'generation' of cast.

Second, Corine, let's be polite and respectful shall we?

Thanks so much for the pictures, Marc. Thinking of us when you're so busy is SO sweet. I'm really excited to see the movie when it comes out!

I cannot wait for this, thanks Marc!

Well, excuse me Bal, but Corine's post WAS both polite and respectful, like all of her posts. And for the record, I mostly agree with her (except for the part about Travolta as a sex symbol still)!
But I do have complete faith in Marc and Scott and I am sure the movie will be wonderful ! Wow, the Hairspray movie and the Catch Me If You Can show are great things to look forward to for next year !
So THANK YOU, MARC about the pics and info !!!!!
(And I do hope the DVD will have a big nice documentary a la RENT about the show, including show clips with the OB Cast !)

I hope the DVD featurettes are just as long as the movie, if not longer.

Can't wait!

I like the pictures, and glad they went with people who look age appropriate. It's also nice to see some new faces.

They look great. I can not wait for the movie.

Dottie, knowing me and my crush, you know that age-appropriate comment shot an arrow through my heart, right ? Matt DOESN'T look old !!!

Greek, I would never do that!! I also don't have a clue who you're referring to!?!

[Greekmusicalfan]

Posted: 8/1/06 at 7:23pm

I edited it, so now you know

[DottieD'Luscia]

Posted: 8/1/06 at 7:25pm

Of course he doesn't, but next to those kids, he'd look slightly older (emphasis on slightly)!!

[Greekmusicalfan]

Posted: 8/1/06 at 7:27pm

But he'd still look gorgeous, sing like an angel and dance better than Kelly and Astaire combined ! (wow, I actually AM biased after all LOL)

You most certainly are!! I certainly can't wait for the movie to come out.

HAIRSPRAY movie costume designer replying to your message. Pictures taken out of context should never be released!!!! BE warned, this is a movie, not a stage show, and in movies we design REAL-looking period clothes which define the characters and tell the story. Be assured that this movie will look real AND fabulous. Nowhere is it written that costumes have to be designed in garish color and big silly overblown shapes. Try not to be a spoiler, and enjoy the film when it comes out. I suggest you take a look at the original movie if you haven't seen it.

I am the costume designer for the movie. You are seeing a handful of pictures out of context that really should not be available online. Nowhere is it written that costumes have to be designed in garish color. In movies we try to keep it real. A movie is a huge jigsaw puzzle where everything is balanced and the clothes tell a story. Don't be a spoiler, and wait till the movie comes out!!!

Well I think the costumes look great. This is all so thrilling! YAY HAY.
