RENT! the movie
 

Well the first trailers are out in the theater. The movie is to open November 11th. Most of the cast is the original cast. Supposedly the voicemails and tune ups have been cut from the movie.

I'm so excited.

Theres a site somewhere where the cast members are "blogging" whats going on as they do it, I'll have to find it for y'all.

Edit:; Found It!

I'm more excited about Sweeney Todd the movie. Now that a perfect musical.

Now if they included the "Lease" song from "Team America: World Police" THAT would be funny!

niiice. The blog is a fun idea. So are they shooting the whole thing in SF? To me Rent is really tied to NYC but San Francisco definitely can work.

I think I read something that because of noise ordinance laws, they can't shoot in NYC past 10pm, so they don't get to shoot as much as they want there. But some things will still be filmed there.

makes sense. That's New York's loss. I actually saw the show on stage in San Franicsco and the city definitely has the vibe that supports the play. I wouldn't be totally upset if they moved the whole thing there.

Boo to them cutting the voicemails and tune-ups. I wonder how it will sound and look. Hopefully it will be done as well as Phantom was (at least I thought Phantom was great in my book)

I'm optimistic about the movie since it's got most of the original cast in it. I can't wait!

I guess something had to be cut in the move from the stage to a movie, but I'll miss the vms and tune-ups too...hopefully they'll find a way to build the parental pressures and Mark's moments into the film in other ways.

Let's hope not. If it's anything like Phantom, it'll be a flop.

I'm doing my job them

OPTIMIST PRIME........AWAY!!!

What she said! I am sooo excited about this movie. I WILL be there on opening day! :)

I think they set on phantom too long to make it into a movie and thats why it flopped... Rent is almost to long... but Bohemia still works... i think itll be a hit
