Wasn't this originally announced years ago with the same cast? Sounds like someone just recycled a piece of old news.

Yes and no, Blaxx. Carrey and Gyllenhaal were previously announced but this is the first time a director has been announced.

I see. It still seems to me that Gyllenhaal will be senile by the time it gets done.

So guys, I guess we're at the point where we're just going to pre-hate every movie musical?

"Lola could be ANYONE in a modernized version. Queen Latifah, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Amy Adams, Lady Gaga, Mary J. Blige, Britany Spears -- ANYONE."
I support Amy Adams and Britney. Anything to help forget CROSSROADS. also, Anne or Anika as Gloria would be great! Also, forget updating. It won't work.

I won't see anything with Jim Carrey in it. Someone needs to say to him " You were cute when you did it when you were 7, but aren't you a little old to behave like that now?".

The problem with Carrey is that Applegate might have his role expanded to justify Carrey's salary.
I just want to see "The Game" on film.

My vote is Amy Adams. She's gorgeous and has a terrific voice. As for the updating I second the person who suggested "Baltimore Orioles". As a lifelong Oriole fan, I can tell you these past ten years are certainly 'Washington Senators' worthy!

>> "However, I have a really good feeling about Jim Carrey stealing the show with this one - I don't think he's interested in doing all his mugging and childish humour anymore."
Really? Have you seen the trailer for "I Love You, Phillip Morris?"

Enough with the Carrey mugging!

As I mentioned in an older thread, Beyonce would make a great Lola. And I'd rather see her do this than the umpteenth remake of "A Star Is Born."

Agreed Best12Bars. I actually think she'd be a perfect Lola. A STAR IS BORN? .... Not so much.

I'll take any of the above. Except Beyonce. She can do a ballad I guess, but she has precious little film charisma, much less in a comedic role.
