Someone in the industry told me today that Neil Meron & Craig Zadan have approached someone already to take over the role when Daniel Radcliffe's contract has ended.
That person is Elijah Wood.
Brilliant.
"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."

Posted: 5/12/11 at 8:56pmIs being 5'6" and best-known for starring in a fantasy film franchise now a requirement for the role?

Has he said yes?
It's easy to approach people, but another thing entirely to get them to say yes!

funny. I just finished watching Eternal Sunshine with Elijah with my film studies classes!
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

wow, I was hoping Leslie Jordan would be offered the chance to succeed (ha!) Radcliffe in the role. As with Promises, Promises, I really don't see that production continuing after Radcliffe departs. He's the only reason the thing exists in the first place.

Posted: 5/12/11 at 10:19pmDarren Criss for sure..

Posted: 5/12/11 at 10:24pmI absolutely hated this production, but Elijah Wood would actually bring the interest enough to make me go back. Also, total GEEK OUT that Frodo and Harry Potter are sharing a role. I'm going to go marathon the LOTR extended editions now.

Posted: 5/12/11 at 10:28pmKaturian, you "absolutely hated" the production because of Ashford's work, or another reason(s)?

Posted: 5/12/11 at 10:31pmDarren Criss would be fabulous!

Posted: 5/12/11 at 10:38pmAny idea on when does Daniel Racliffe's contract ends?

Posted: 5/12/11 at 10:38pmI'd really, Really, REALLY love to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the role.

Posted: 5/12/11 at 11:50pmI am thinking it will just close when Radcliffe is done.

Posted: 5/12/11 at 11:52pmI adore Joseph Gordon-Levitt, but I think he's far too droll for the role.
