Don't know if anyone knew this but they're not the only ones who can can do musicals. Hollywood isn't a small town community theater.

You mean that girl who takes all the roles that Rachel McAdams turns down?

Right, McAdams is their first choice.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

No of course he didn't. He just added another JERK credit to his ever growing resume.

Thanks, Matt!

I wish I could be an ever positive presence on here like you are. Oh, wait...

Can we put a moratorium on Meryl also? I know she's a great actress, and she's been wonderful in everything she's been cast in, but right now her name seems to be the first name to pop up for female characters of a certain age for everything. Musicals, straight plays, movie musicals, movie adaptations of plays, etc.

Same thing for African-American female leads in movie musicals. think Queen Latifah/Dana Owens has played them all (though I'm a little surprised she didn't pop up in "Dreamgirls" somewhere.)

So by "African-American female leads in movie musicals", you're just talking about Queen Latifah?

I do agree that Meryl Streep/Mary Louise Streep has done enough musicals.

Too late as I hear both Anne and Hugh are in talks for a big screen remake of THE KING & I with Samantha Barks and Eddie Redmayne as Tuptim and Lun-Tha respectively. Helena Bonham Carter has been tapped to essay the role of "Lady Thiang", Russell Crowe is the "Kralahome", Daniel Huttlestone will be "Louis Leonowens".

I don't care who's wrong or right. I don't really want to fight no more. It's time for letting go.

Helena Bonham-Carter WAS kind of born to play that role though, Carlos.

^ Yeah, I totally see her in the role. Imagine her rendition of "Something Wonderful" would have to be heard to be believed. I live.

And directed by her husband, the musical would be epic and FINALLY show the dark side of the story that's sorely been lacking in every version so far.

I really do think that Jackman would be great as the Baker in 'Into the Woods' though.

Under no circumstance should he go anywhere near that project. I think he is very talented but he is not right for any of the roles in Into the Woods. The same goes for Neil Patrick Harris.
