I think I understand. Mary Poppins is not amused.

Barry Levinson directed the first couple episodes of "Shades of Blue" with Jennifer Lopez...

I would never have thought of her, but now that you mention her I would rather see J-Lo as Mazeppa.

This feels 20 years too late. 

I won't believe this is actually getting made until the cameras start rolling. 

There must have been a legitimate reason Universal passed. The fact another major studio wouldn't touch it is concerning. STX is pretty low on the pole of film distributors.

I think Carol Channing would make a marvelous Tessie Tura

With Loretta Swit as Electra?

People, people (who need people)...just let it happen! If it's good, go see it...if not, wait for it on home video. Or skip it completely. Last time I checked, nobody else was setting their sights on remaking this, so why not Barbra?

She'll easily pass for younger than 50 in the film (how old did she look in "Guilt Trip"? I rest my case.) That's why they call it acting...and good surgeons, lighting and makeup! 

Chill, people. The planet spins and the world goes round and round and round and round...

She cannot "pass for 50". She carries herself like a 73 year old woman, and there's nothing wrong with that. But she shouldn't be allowed to touch Madame Rose with a 10 foot pole!

She hasn't been able to sing in the score in many, many years.

The strippers should be Cher (Mazeppa), Better Midler (Electra) and Goldie Hawn (Mazeppa).

Lady Gaga as Louise, Daisy Ridley as June and Tom Hanks as Herbie.

 

Fade Out, Exit, Cut!

Well, there are always those rumors that she recorded her vocals for GYPSY a number of decades ago... Saw it here on this board!

They can change the role to her mother and it will be a lovely return cameo for Olivia DeHavilland

This was posted over on ATC, but is an article about how digital 'retouching'  is changing the industry andcould basically let Streisand play the role and look 16 if she wanted to. Be sure to watch the video.

Walter Matthau----oh he died in 2000--no matter--hologram him.

While I googled that bit I read about Danny Lockin [Barnaby] who was tragically stabbed to death at 34 by a gay trick and I read that Danny was one of the farmboys in the film Gypsy---the things you learn.

Why not Kirk Douglas?  They can do a publicity tie-in with his hundredth birthday.

I think this version should be called "Gypped."

It was successfully done in 2015's JOY.  During a flashback sequence, they made Robert De Niro and Diane Ladd look like themselves circa 1970s.  It was surreal to see a young Bobby De Niro again.

They did manage to digitally enhance Pee-wee Herman in his latest movie so he doesn't look like the 60-something-year-old he really is. So it can be done. But--this is very painful for me to admit--the current state of her singing voice hasn't pleased me in a long time. Streisand today doesn't sound like Streisand twenty years. ago. Maybe they can digitally enhance that, too, but man, what a lot of effort it seems this will take. And you have to wonder if the result will look and sound like a real performance. 

 

Some suggest she recorded the tracks many years ago, but even if that's true, it's not how movie musicals usually work. The details of the staging are planned first, then the music--including all the minutiae of the vocal inflections--is arranged and recorded to work with that. 

 

I honestly do hope it's a crowning triumph for Streisand. But I'm nervous!

So, we're going to get a CGI enhanced Barbra lip syncing to vocals recorded over 20 years ago!

This just in: Norman Lloyd has been cast as Rose's father.

She didn't "record the score 20 years ago". That's what is known was "wishful gay thinking".

Eh, whatever. Let her indulge herself. I'm always in the mood for a good comedy.

Yeah, I suppose. I just fear this will be the final nail in the coffin of movie musicals.

And I wanna see hot Zac Efron shirtless as Pippin!
