Posted: 3/27/09 at 8:57pmIf anyone out there has listened to the "workshop" version of Ragtime, the opening number is like 20 minutes and it goes into MUCH deeper with each character and I have always seemed like this longer extended number would work a lot better for a movie. Numbers like "crime of the century" would be so amazing to see on screen. Also I think "New Music" when Sarah decends the stairs could be SOOOO beautiful.

I hope Burton does not go anywhere near "Into The Woods" I'm sorry, i don't want that Helena Bonamanama Carter something chick being the witch or the baker's wife!!! I want real performers. Spielberg has the style to create drama and tug at heart strings at same time!
No Burton!
my opinion does not reflect the views of BWW

Please not Parade--he'd make the case seem even more black and white than the show makes it.
I would say Ragtime would be good, or Miss Saigon.

Personally, I'd still rather see someone like Tim Burton ... tackle "Into the Woods".
No, absolutely not.

Posted: 3/29/09 at 2:09amMiss Saigon in his hands would be fascinating, but isn't he attached to Follies or a West Side story remake or something sondheim? I can swear i read that recently either here or on playbill.com.

Sondheim did say that Spielberg had expressed interest in a potential remake of "West Side Story."
moderator: PRE-SUBMITTED QUESTION from George for Mr. Sondheim: Now that Sweeney Todd has been put on film, which of your musicals would you most like to see adapted for motion picture at this time?
Stephen_Sondheim: It's not so much a question of which I would like to see, rather which I think would lend itself, and I think Company would lend itself to filming. I think it's very cinematic in its theatrical concept. There is a move afoot to do Follies movie with a well-known director and a well-known star, and I'm not going to tell you who they are. Those are the ones that come immediately to mind. Stephen Speilberg would like to remake West Side Story whether or not that will happen or not...
