No Day Like Today
Found out they just posted the trailer for “Rent”, the movie based on the hit Broadway musical. I totally forgot that this movie was coming, I’m so excited! What’s so awesome about the movie is that it’s got most of the original cast members, including Jesse L. Martin (who you might remember from Law and Order), Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel (who’s been popular lately for being the original Elphaba in Wicked). It will be really strange to see Rent on the big screen - there is so much imagination that is used when you see a musical on stage. Seeing it all laid out for you in film is a bug change.
Whoo hoo! Rent comes to theaters on November 23rd. Looks like this will be a busy holiday season for me in the movie theaters, with the next Harry Potter and the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe coming out this winter!
Finally, a movie I want to see!
I wasn’t a big fan of the B’way show, but the movie has to be better than most of the crap that H’wood is churning out these days.
I have always wanted to see this play
Thanks for the info! It’s on my calendar. I’m pretty excited about this! I saw it in NYC and it was great!
They’re hoping Harry Potter and Narnia will save the failing movie industry lately.
That RENT trailer is like a music video. Haha! But, I will be interested to see Rosario Dawson singing. Hmm! Looks like a good adaptation though…nice to see the original cast too.
