Welcome, Anthony Rapp! — Page 118

hey omg i cannot wait for this movie!! I am such a renthead and a huge idina menzel fan...but anyway,
anthony-
i think its great that ure doing this. I wanted to ask if you think the movie will have as strong of an impact as the broadway show did. Will it still be as powerful as you think? Plus, is it cool catching up with most of the OBC and Idina (heh had 2 add that). Okay well cool if u answer this. Glad to be in touch and updated with the movie. Oh and is Rosario Dawson singing?

La Vie Boheme

so here it is, Anthony: are you *actually* making a movie--as in Mark's film, ("close on Roger... his girlfriend April left him a note saying, 'we've got AIDS' before slitting her wrists in the bathroom.")? and if you are, will Mark's film (it's called 'Today 4 U: Proof Positive,' right?) be an easter egg or special feature on the dvd (because that would be totally coooooool!)?

hope that question wasn't already asked.

Mr. rapp, if you could also let us know what cuts they have made (maybe u have, i didnt read all 100 pages) because im guessing they might have made some songs into dialouge ect so if u answer that id apreciate it.

Robert DeNiro (the very same) and his company, Tribeca Films, optioned the film rights to Rent back in '96.

Although I am now getting excited about seeing Rosario, I am still partial to Daphne. She IS Mimi! But still syked about seeing Rosario's take on her.

Yes, it is the new home for us wandering threadjackers!

And the idea of an actual "Mark film" would be really interesting. I know its a long ways away but when the DVD does come out, will there be some good special features on the discs? (Sorry, I'm a nut for those behind-the-scenes kind of documentaries)

Hi Anthony!
I hope everyone is having fun in SF. It's finally sunny and nice in New England!

"Thank you very much for that. Being out is very important to me, and I'm glad that my being out has helped you. How did your parents respond? I hope all is well in your family."

:) My parents took it very well. (my mom even said "we had some idea this was coming, we were just waiting for you to say something") Both my parents are really cool about it and told me that whoever i bring home to introduce to them, they will accept as being the person I love and being someone who is very important to me. Unfortunatly, my cousin (who is also my best friend in the whole world) didn't have the luck and support I did. His parents are in compleat denile and are telling him he "doesn't have to be gay" and "wasn't born that way because jesus wouldn't allow it" (I should probably point out at this point that while his parents are born again chrisians, i'm jewish) Luckily, he's away at college and has a very supportive boyfriend who told him he would help pay for school is his parents decide not to keep paying for it (he also has scholarships and i told him i would help too)
Do you have any advice I can give him?

love lauren

Anthony; I've heard that LMC is back in as a song? Is that true???

Also, I was curious if you'll be using "Christmas Bells." It seems to me that would make a perfect song for film...

Look forward to your reply...

tbossbone, LMC was never out of the movie. And Christmas Bells is. Anthony posted a song list a while ago, and it was recently bumped.

Light My Candle, I Should Tell You and Halloween are there, too.

This question has been asked before and if I'm not mistaken may have been answered. I think the answer was not sure, but don't take my word for it.

About the songs being cut down so much, the only reason that it filled two CDs originally was because of all the tune ups and voicemails etc and the whole movie obviously can't be in song. I think some of the voicemails and tune ups are still in the movie, only as dialogue so I don't think its actually getting as much edited out as some may think.

And I thought that the finale song (No day but today etc) was still part of the movie. Don't quote me on that though.....
