I really really want a Les Mis movie! Or at least have them tape a performance on stage and broadcast it on TV or sell it on DVD. I would also like a Little Shop remake, because I hated Ellen Greene as Audrey compared to Kerry Butler, and now they could do so much more with Audrey II now, but I think maybe they should wait a little bit, since the movie isn't THAT old.

I'd love to see Starmites in 3-D. In fact, 3-D IMAX. It would work. I'd also be interested to see how Blood Brothers would translate to film, as well as Merrily We Roll Along. A movie of Wicked could go in so many different directions. I keep imaging a really cheesy filmic adaptation of 'Defying Gravity' with Elphaba rising through the ceiling, wood fragments flying everywhere and then a blue screen shot of Elphaba flying over Oz much like this:
While singing "So if you care to find me..." while cutting to high angle reverse shots of the Ozians pointing at the sky singing the "look at her she's wicked!" part, ending with a superimposition of the citizens and Elphaba (kinda like the ending of SUmmer Nights in Grease). If they did make a Wicked movie it could be intersting if done as a carbon-copy of the 1939 Wizard of Oz. In the sense that the props, costumes and set would be a mirror image of the 1939 movie, maybe even incorperating clips from the movie in order to really portray the "looking at it another way" concept. It would be cool, from my perspective, to see Wicked and Wizard of Oz tied together like this. I mean it could easily destroy the musical but still, it would be intersting.

The designers of any movie of WICKED will have to go out of their way NOT to copy the costume/scenic elements of MGM's movie of THE WIZARD OF OZ because they are still under copyright.

i figured. Still a fun thought. Isn't the twister effect under copyright to the point that people can't make a twister using nylon stocking and a fan without being sued? I read that somewhere, about how Disney was going to use the twister as part of the great movie ride (right before the munchkinland scene to make it like the guests are flown to Oz) but they couldn't get the rights, and so they turned it into Fantasia instead (which is why the Fantasia part is windy)

That may be true matters. Certainly the "twister" from OZ is one of the best special effects ever created for film, and modern special effects experts have said that even with modern technology, its hard to top it.
The twister footage may not be able to be "copied" - but MGM used in in several other films in the decades after OZ.

Kander and Ebb's "Curtains" would work as a movie. Imagine it with Bill Condon writing and/or directing, or Rob Marshall or Susan Strohman directing and/or choreographing, and Neil Meron and Craig Zadan producing.

Miss Saigon is one that immediately comes to mind.
Sunset Boulevard IF Andrew Lloyd Webber were forced to cut a lot of the "singing dialogue" eliminate lots of reprises, and add about 3 new numbers possibly including:
- An additional Solo vehicle for Joe
- A solo for Betty
Cutting the following song:
- Every Movie's a Circus
Finding the right style of orchestration would be a uniqute struggle for this film. Something gritty and alive (unlike both orchestrations London & Bway had.) A Sunset film would take MUCH reworking but could be very worthwhile if done correclty.
A Cabaret closer in style fo the original stage production than the film could be great.
I am opposed to Les Miserables being a movie musical. I just don't see it working well. As someone earlier said, I have no problem with it if it's done well, but I just don't know what "well" would look/sound/feel like.

imagine what Les Mis would be like if turned into a Disney cartoon. They did it with Hunchback, why not les mis? (I'm being partially sarcastic whie genuinely intrigued at the concept)

I can bet you my life that wicked will be announced to be made in to a movie early next year,how do i know this?
When a director starts to work for a studio after they have had a succesful film they are given a sheet of paper of a list of possible movies that are seeking directors etc.
Wicked has been on that list for over 6 months(as well as Billy Elliot which i think is stupid since the film issnt that old).
As for Miss Saigon they have been MANY attempts at putting this on film but have all ended up been non starters due to conflict over the way it should be done(makintosh will not budge an inch on what he wants from the film)
He also said recently that he had given up all hope on a film version of Miss Saigon and he had never for a second thought about putting Les Miserables on the big screen.
Hope that info helps x

I would LOVE to see Side Show turned into a movie, but I don't think it would attract an audience. It is such a heart-wrenching story, with awesome music, and a great message.
I would also like to see Ragtime, and Aida brought to the big screen, but I wouldn't want Beyonce in either one. I don't know why people make such a big deal about her. I consider her vocal talents very mediocre...especially compared to Audra McDonald, or Heather Headley.

Light In The Piazza is one movie I would love, but only as an art-house film. Aida could be good as an animated film for many reasons. Maybe Les MIz, just depends on how it's filmed. Same with Miss Saigon.

I agree with making Aida into an animated film. It's the typical Disney romance and they could probably do a lot more with the setting with animation, plus they could cut out the crappier songs and pointless scenes and be left with the good stuff.
Disney would never make Les Mis into an animated film, for many reasons, but I think the main would be that they would want their version to be the one that people think of when they thought of Les Mis, and that just wouldn't happen with musical around.

i think shows should be left on the stage because it cannot be guaranteed that the movie version will be good.
however, i am with you Matters. i would love to see this Broadway revival of Les Mis filmed like they did with Piazza last summer of PBS. it would be great for us les mis fans to have that bit of history since the tour is closed and the revival won't be running forever. plus the casting is so great (except daphne, sorry). the show is so great i don't know if they could make a movie that captures all the emotions, feelings, and grandure from the show.

I'd love to see Aida, but not animated, and without a big name. I guess that's a lot to ask for, considering the sets are so crazy elaborate.
I do not want a Wicked musical movie. It would look ridiculous.
