I am excited, but hope the actors are as good on screen as they were in the theatre. There is a big difference in technique.
Some can do it, others can't.

The trailer was unbelievable. I knew nothing at all of Rent before it, but after it played my friend and I looked at each other amazed. It looks just amazing!
I heard it's the original cast. Is that the true original cast or the original Broadway cast? I'm guessing it's the latter since a lot of those people are really famous now.

Rosario Dawson is taking over the lead, and Tracie Thoms (Wonderfalls) is taking over for Joanne. Everyone else is from the original cast

Especially since Rent is not the normal musical, its a rock opera so EVERYTHING is sung, and therefore the animation and expressions and choreography are completely different from the approach they are going with the movie. Which I like, cause afterall, its a new direction, so where would be the art in mocking something that is already done. I heartily believe that the director is still staying true to Jonathon Larson, so the movie should rock.

OMG the trailer made me cry.
But I don't recall Jesse L. Martin (L&O) being in the original cast of Rent but that was definately him in the trailer.
It was cool seeing Taye Diggs though.
OMG I cannot wait. Does anyone know the release date? All the trailer said was this fall.
edit:
Never mind answered my own question, according to the site the movie opens 11/11/05. A week before Harry Potter.

Check out the site. It gives a listing of how many minutes there are until the movie opens. Clever.

He is, isn't he!!!!
When I checked out the official site I read the biography of Jesse and it stated that he was the original Tom Collins. I think I need to go find my RENT CD.
Is it November yet? All the good movies come out in November.

Am I the only person that think Rent is overrated? The libretti is a mess. The ending was a cop out. I still don't know how it won the Pulitzer.

Sorry,
I saw it twice -- NY & Denver -- and really liked it both times.
