What other creative teams could be exciting for a Broadway revival with great casting? This one seems to have deflated."

Musical Master said: "saxpower said: "It lists John Williams as a "Music Consultant". I'm assuming it's "that" John Williams (don't think they'd let another person use that name in a film music credit. Plus he regularly works with Spielberg). Spielberg clearly got people who know what they are doing to assist."
The music element of this movie is going to be incredible and one that doesn't have to rely on drastic cu

Steven Spielberg's WEST SIDE STORY - News & Discussion Thread Sep 24

Kind of loving the lens flares. They make the happier scenes (Tony and Maria meeting) look more dream like and fantastical, while giving the darker parts of the trailer (especially the amazing shot of Tony and Riff wrestling over the gun) a more foreboding feel. I'm all in.

Sondheim said glowing things about the movie on Colbert tonight. That's about as high a recommendation as you can get.

Los Tacos if you don't mind sit/standing while you eat and it's literally right across the street from Harry Potter so you can't miss it. As far as cheap if you venture west of 9th you'll find tons of places.

I like that they did a selfie with the whole opening night audience just like they did at the first preview in November '19. This show has gotten a lot of hate for various reasons but as a fan of her music I personally enjoy it.

All the talk of pronouns aside I'm sure this cast will be wonderful and I can't wait to see this on tour. I loved the Broadway production and was sad it closed so early.

Best versions of Rent and Les Miz to screen? Jan 2
2021, 11:04:01 PM
I would search out bootlegs of Les Mis (preferably the original production with the turntable.. the reboot is fine but is no where near as epic) because the only other versions are the concerts. If you end up going the concert. If you end up going the concert route nothing beats the 10th anniversary. Lea Salonga, Philip Quast, Michael Ball, Michael Maguire and Colm Wilkinson are all spectacular.. and Nick Jonas basically ruins the 25th anniversary concert.

THE PROM soundtrack Dec 4
2020, 01:46:06 AM
Is "Simply Love" part of the movie or an end credits song? It comes at the very end of the album but feels like part of a new scene that wasn't in the stage show. Either way it's very pretty and is sung beautifully by James.
The whole album sounds great, with "Unruly Heart" being the highlight for me.

"Forget the whole case-by-case thing: No more straight actors playing gay men until the sins of The Prom are properly atoned for. Murphy, a gay man, has led some straight actors into fertile gay territory before, like Darren Criss in The Assassination of Gianni Versace. But Corden, flitting and lisping around in the most uninspired of caricatures, misses all potential for nuance, and thus never finds even a hint of truth in the role. And this is in a movie that’s supposed to be about empowering queer people!"

It's hard to say since none of us have seen the movie yet, but is this much different than the way Brooks played it on Broadway? I'd say no."
I saw Josh Lamon on Broadway, not Brooks, and "gayer than a bucket of wigs" was an understatement (not in a bad way, though).
With all this talk about James and his mixed reviews I'd like to point out that the other cast members are all getting mostly raves. Apparently Andrew's "Love Thy Neighbor" is one of the standouts in a movie full of show stoppers.

Jordan Catalano said: "Newsweek says Corden is “offensively miscast” and I’m glad that’s being called out because it’s true. "
Meanwhile Variety calls his performance "soulfully funny and touching" and compares it to Christopher Guest in "Waiting for Guffman".

The eligibility deadline for films is now through February, so many, many contenders for Best Picture won't be in the general discussion until around then when studios firmly decide what to push.
As for what's eligible, any film that was released digitally *with the original intent of releasing theatrically* is eligible. For that reason, Netflix is throwing the film into a few theaters on 12
