I've been a big fan of the operetta since I was in 7th grade. I've memorized all of the songs (though over the years forgotten much of it).

I wasn't ecstatic to hear a movie would be made, especially since the concept of it is completely awash on most people. Matter of fact, I'm sure when this comes out there'll be MANY people who'll be saying they live such a life style or hold the same ideals when they most asuredly don't.

Anyway, for the most part they're using all of the original people from the first run, though they did change out the original Mimi for Rosario Dawson and changed out the gal who's playing Joanne.

So here's a music video that was compiled and placed on Apple: Seasons of Love

As long as Idina is still there, i'm gravy.

Honestly, I haven't seen the musical. I've always wanted to, but never got the chance. I've only heard most of it from the 'Best of Rent' soundtrack. When I heard a movie was coming out, I was elated. Especially when I heard they were keeping the original cast.

I thought the 'Phantom' was well done and I think that would have been harder to pull off then Rent.

Yeah, it's entirely achievable film to make. Based on the trailer I've seen looks like they got it all right.

I'm happy to see it done, but at the same time a bit annoyed with how it might be accepted. I dunno, I guess I'm just jaded from so many of the things I'm a fan of being picked up by Hot Topic and destroyed and mutilated. *shrugs*

I have no doubt it'll be good.

I'm like you, Shuyin. I actually only saw the stage performance last year, but I'd been listening to the whole soundtrack forever. It's like being a big fan of a band and then seeing them perform for the first time.

Rent doesn't really seem like the kind of thing that Hot Topic can leech to and bleed dry. But then again they don't cease to surprise. (I didn't see them getting Naruto....)

I completely understand what you mean though. I don't know how I'd react if Wicked got turned into a movie. (Now that has whore out potential.... *imagines all the sparkly Glinda wands that they'd sell.*)

Oh they do have Naruto.. on pink and purple t-shirt with designs that look like Chinese bootlegs. They're also hocking the forehead protectors and such and well as keychains and figures. At least that's what I've seen at the mall Hot Topic this last month.

Don't even get me started about Wicked. I wouldn't be surprised if there are teenieboppers out there who'd want to be dyed green.

But for me it's more this Hot Topic generation. Nothing's sacred any more. I can see these people going out and saying they are bi, gay, have AIDS, whatever because suddenly it's cool. People are stupid enough to do it.

I am looking forward to the movie, but not the crowd of sudden fans. It killed Chicago for me and I was a huge fan of that musical before it became a movie. Now "Mama's Good to You" is among the most requested at karaoke bars visited by high school and college students.
