Is it really THAT hard to do Guys and Dolls justice? Do people ENJOY butchering this show? "There's nothing good on. The media hates Christmas. The media loves vampires, though. Maybe they will show a Twilight Christmas." -Danmeg's 10 year old son.

Oh boy! This music always rescues me, There's a melody for every malady: Prescription song, you see

Jason Statham? The only part I could see him in is Big Julie. Total waste of a B+ actor.

If anyone can mess up Guys & Dolls worse than McAnuff, it's Guy Ritchie. Though it's too bad Madonna's not still around to step in as Adelaide! Queens never make bargains. (Ann Jillian)

Justin Timberlake makes me want to spontaneously combust. Can't we just send him to a distant planet where he will no longer be able to foist his arrogant face into every piece of mainsteam art? 2009 Jan. 11 - Gypsy, Feb. 5 - Shrek the Musical, Feb. 8 - August: Osage County, March 31 - Blithe Spirit, April 7 - 33 Variations, May 6 - Blithe Spirit, May 6 - Exit the King, May 14 - August: Osage County, May 15 - Blithe Spirit, May 24 - Desire Under the Elms, June 2 - Blithe Spirit, June 13 - Joe Turner's Come and Gone, June 13 - Exit the King, June 20 - Accent on Youth, June 20 - August: Osage County, July 12 - Waiting For Godot, July 12 - Blithe Spirit, July 14 - Blithe Spirit, July 19 - Blithe Spirit, Sept. 9 - God of Carnage, Sept. 14 - Bea Arthur: A Celebration, Sept. 15 - Next to Normal, Sept. 19 - Superior Donuts, Sept. 19 - God of Carnage Sept. 22 - Wishful Drinking, Sept. 30 - Billy Elliot, Nov. 24 - A Little Night Music "Real life...that's not my bag." - Estelle Parsons

Justin Timberlake makes me want to pull an Inspector Javert over the nearest bridge. Seriously, up until this year, people considered Guys and Dolls impossible to screw up. I guess they're trying to prove otherwise. In my pants, she has burst like the music of angels, the light of the sun! --Marius Pantsmercy

I could go on and on about this, but all I got is 4 minutes, wiki wiki, 4 minutes.

It might work! Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Anyone who's seen Timberlake host SNL knows he's hilarious. Anyone who's seen him perform knows he has swagger. He might be a good fit. Lord knows they can't rearrange the music any worse than the recently closed revival did. The real item of concern is Guy Ritchie. Making hard-edged British gangster films does not qualify you to make charming American gangster musical comedies.

This will never happen. No good can possibly come from using this vast wasteland of error and deliberate deceit. You should get off of it and warn others away. You should make sure your children and grandchildren know what a corrupt and morally bankrupt institution it truly is.

I saw Timberlake on SNL. He is not hilarious. He is a smug, arrogant dickhead. If I'm looking for hilarity, I'll stick with Martin Short and Dana Carvey, thank you very much. 2009 Jan. 11 - Gypsy, Feb. 5 - Shrek the Musical, Feb. 8 - August: Osage County, March 31 - Blithe Spirit, April 7 - 33 Variations, May 6 - Blithe Spirit, May 6 - Exit the King, May 14 - August: Osage County, May 15 - Blithe Spirit, May 24 - Desire Under the Elms, June 2 - Blithe Spirit, June 13 - Joe Turner's Come and Gone, June 13 - Exit the King, June 20 - Accent on Youth, June 20 - August: Osage County, July 12 - Waiting For Godot, July 12 - Blithe Spirit, July 14 - Blithe Spirit, July 19 - Blithe Spirit, Sept. 9 - God of Carnage, Sept. 14 - Bea Arthur: A Celebration, Sept. 15 - Next to Normal, Sept. 19 - Superior Donuts, Sept. 19 - God of Carnage Sept. 22 - Wishful Drinking, Sept. 30 - Billy Elliot, Nov. 24 - A Little Night Music "Real life...that's not my bag." - Estelle Parsons

Justin Timberlake is one of the most consistenly hilarious regular SNL hosts they have who is under 50 years old. He is the one who will join the ranks of Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin in the frequent host category. I think we've finally reached the point in our society where "celebrity" just means "mammal." -- Seth Meyers

What a dreadful idea! I love Guys & Dolls... why does everyone want to rip it to pieces these days!?!?!?!

Something tells me that once SHERLOCK HOLMES bombs at a theater near you, this project will go the way of....well the last time they were throwing around a G&D remake with Nicole Kidman and Vin Diesel. "If I could wish anything ...I'd wish a rep company on New York City. I think it's possible. I'd even summon the challenge to Mayor Bloomberg: Create a company of actors and give them a living wage. Not minimum wage. I'd lay down that gauntlet. I know that people say all the best actors have gone to L.A. for work, but that's bullsh*t. L.A. is the Medicis for today. They subsidize my art. Give an actor an opportunity to grow as an artist, and anyone worth their salt will jump on it." --Elizabeth Marvel

do not want Right when it was starting to feel real.

Guy Ritchie and his man crush on Jason Statham is WORSE than Tim Burton's obsession with Johnny Depp. At least the latter is actually a good actor who has repeatedly proved how versatile he is. Jason Statham plays the exact same character in everything he is in, regardless of whether it is written in the script. Worse. Idea. Ever.

I've said it b4, Vin LOVES G&D and would make a pretty passable Nathan Detroit.

I think Vin Diesel is actually a better actor than people give him credit for. Right when it was starting to feel real.

I said years ago that Ritchie had a musical eye and that SNATCH would make a good musical with the right composers but this news of Timberlake makes this project MUCH more exciting. Now get an amazing Adelaide and I'll really start getting excited. I vote for Downy Jr. instead of Stathan tho. Boy can sing! P

Oh gross. Sky should be actually attractive and actually charming. Let me watch your toes and fingers twitch.

aw hell no. he sounds and looks like a little girl. dnw ever. on the evening of the great crackling is part of a hurricane named karen olivo, whose anita impact of the measure, if it is displayed. olivo, an alum of "in the heights", has an indelible personality, a galvanized insistence that latin women on stage. ~ susanne klatten

Isn't Timberlake a tenor? And he's going to play Sky??? Work that silver magic!

Borstalboy do you have any faith in any film not bombing at the box office?

"aw hell no. he sounds and looks like a little girl. dnw ever." Exactly. "And he's going to play Sky???" Well, assuming he even ends up getting cast, one would assume. I don't particularly like Ewan McGregor's singing voice, but if they need a "name" in the role, why not him? Let me watch your toes and fingers twitch.
