Knowing Hollywood,they will probably opt for a name. If Hanks has any say in it, he may get them to use Mueller

While Jessie is who I would definitely want to see in the film, if they want an A-lister I think Emma Stone would be great!

^Bur Jersey Boys tanked at the box office.


I didn't know that Jesse and Tom were friends. I didn't get to see her on Broadway, so her being in the movie would be a really treat!

"^Bur Jersey Boys tanked at the box office."

I think part of the blame might be due to the lack of buzz for the film.

I feel like more people would be interested in seeing Beautiful anyway, especially if it has Carole King in the title. I <3 Beautiful :)

I have not seen Beautiful, but I want to! I would normally shoot for a big name for the lead in movie's like this, but in the role of Carole, Jessie Mueller is the ONLY choice! The entire marketing campaign could center around introducing this new star!

The rest of the cast could be filled with already big names...

I saw that Jessie "hopes to audition" for the movie adaptation of Beautiful. I think that's ridiculous. They should offer the film to her, she's the only smart choice.

^Though it would probably be a good idea to screen test her just to see how she does on camera. In fact, I'd be really interested in seeing how Jessie would translate into a screen actress.

My parents enjoy, but don't follow musicals, but I can promise they would see Beautiful as a movie, no matter who was in it, as they have a deep respect of Carole King, as do, I think, a lot of people, so I think this would be once chance where they could get away with using someone like Jessie in the lead role, and sprinkle more well known names around her. She was just so stunning in that show, and you could really tell how connected she was, it would be a shame if she didn't get the chance to play in the movie as well.

Jessie Mueller gets my vote.


Yes, they'll want names in the cast, but the supporting cast is perfect for that. I love that Tom Hanks' company is producing it. I love "That Thing You Do!"


Also, I think they'll have to work on Jessie's Brooklyn accent if she is to do the film. It wasn't that strong. I saw a clip from the West End's Beautiful and Katie Brayben is nailing the accent.

The only one that comes to mind apart from Mueller is Sara Bareilles, whom I doubt would ever consider taking the role away from Mueller.

Movies take time to develop, so who knows when it will eventually get made.

Yeah, this one's going to take a while, but I'll be there opening night. I just loved the show and Mueller's performance was one of my favorites. So powerful, so honest, so electrifying, a true star turn. I'd love to see her in the role. But I would be open to seeing a star in it as long as she can rival Mueller's brilliance.

I know Jessie originated the role and all but I think Abby mueller is much stronger in the role.

^I think Jessie would be easier to pass off as a teenager/young adult on screen than Abby.
