They should really get Usher a/k/a Ben Vereen, Jr. for the role of the "Leading Player". It just makes sense. He can sing, he can dance and he has a huge fan base. That's what producers like Zadan/Meron look for to ensure box office success.
And "announced" doesn't equal "actually getting made," as we have seen before. But considering this is Zadan, Meron, and Weinstein, I think it's a safe bet.
Meryl Streep for Berthe! :-P

I don't know about this. I would have preferred another show. Do we need a Pippin movie? I'd rather see Wicked on the big screen.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
...and then of course there's the matter of casting "Pippin".
My vote would go to Justin Timberlake...and while we want to ensure this movie gets all the box office success it deserves let's round it out with a couple of more pop stars.
How about Jennifer Lopez as "Fastrada"? Amanda Seyfried as "Catherine". Meryl Streep as "Berthe"...who shall play Charlemagne?
It will be interesting who they will actually go with this.

Nobody except the viewers of the highly rated "Raising Hope."
And Berthe doesn't need to be a name star. I'm assuming Pippin and Leading Player will be above the title and everyone else will be billed in tiny letters.

Ain't nobody doing this because Pippin is awful on screen. It's not that great a musical to begin with and if they stick with the circus schtick it will be direct to video.

It doesn't work if you make it realistic. It's a very stage-oriented property. I'm not altogether pleased about this announcement unless it becomes, as Gothampc derisively put it, a "direct to video" release. Maybe with the circus shtick.
"Daniel Radcliffe would be a great choice for Pippin, I think."
They'd have to lower the keys. Can Daniel hit a high Corner of the Sky B?
