Broadway.com Reporting Jeremy Jordan to star in LAST FIVE YEARS film

[LYLS3637]

Filming to start later this year.
I guess this is really happening!

[Jordan Catalano]

NOW I can get excited.

[Jordan Catalano]

Just thinking about Jeremy Jordan singing "The Next Ten Minutes" is already making my panties extremely moist.

[Wynbish]

He's the frontrunner. Didn't they say the same thing about Swift as Eponine?

[madbrian]

I'm glad for him, but I find the fact that Anna Kendrick will be the female lead much more exciting.

[Jordan Catalano]

says the straight man.

[BrodyFosse123]

Broadway.com has learned that the Newsies and Smash star is the frontrunner to play Jamie opposite Anna Kendrick’s Cathy in the upcoming film version of Jason Robert Brown’s The Last Five Years.

With all due respect, he's a 'frontrunner'. No where in that sentence does it state he is confirmed.

Now back to our regular program, already in progress.

[LYLS3637]

^ No one said it was confirmed.

[bjh2114]

Well this gay man is more excited for Anna Kendrick too. I'm not a huge Jeremy fan.

[LYLS3637]

I was hoping for Aaron Tveit (or in my perfect world, Michael Arden), but I'll take Jeremy over Hollywood stunt casting.

[Johnnycantdecide]

I was really hoping for Joseph Gordon-Levitt but Jermey Jordan is good choice!

[showchoirguy]

Day Made.

[barcelona20]

Perfection! Can they also take over at 2nd stage? Please?

[Michael Bennett]

Except she looks more Jewish than he does...

[dreaming]

You beat me to it, MB. I was going to say that. He doesn't look ethnically Jewish to me (she sure looks more so than he).

[Brave Sir Robin2]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be perfec, but I'll take Jeremy Jordan.

[wicked1492]

We have to listen to him strain and scream his way through THIS too?

Pass.

[barcelona20]

JGL could not sing the score. And wicked1492 needs your ears checked.

[Mister Matt]

Well this gay man is more excited for Anna Kendrick too. I'm not a huge Jeremy fan.

Same here. Can't stand his signature WHAYL pop style. Even on Smash, it was insufferable. Pairing him with Kerry Butler and her allergy to consonants would make the film perfectly unwatchable for me.

[RippedMan]

Oof. This is going to be roughs sauce. He looks too young to be having a child and the know how to have been through all the stuff he's singing about.

[Jordan Catalano]

Well I dare you to suggest anyone who looks even a tad older, as I've tried to do because you'll be met with screams of how they'd be too old.

[sorano916]

He's no longer the frontrunner... he's confirmed to be doing it, per his Twitter.

Its official!! I will be playing Jamie in The Last five Years film!! @AnnaKendrick47 Literally a dream come true :) http://po.st/kkK5Ut

[SporkGoddess]

Frick, now I'm really going to find it difficult to hate Jamie. I can't even hate Jimmy on Smash and he's like 1000000x the jerk Jamie is.

[Kelly2]

Eek. Agree with the comments that she looks more Jewish than he does. We'll see though.

[Jordan Catalano]

Seriously? It's not like we're talking about Carrie Underwood doing YENTL, here.

[ggersten]

I'm curious how Ms. Kendrick will look as a blonde - not that a shiksa goddess has to be blonde - but it does help - and it couldn't hoit.
