As has been speculated, Barbra Streisand may still play Mama Rose in a new GYPSY movie despite author Arthur Laurents' recent death. The sixty-nine-year-old legend was enlisted to play Mama Rose but then, Laurents decided not to go ahead with the idea, mostly because he didn't think another movie version was necessary, only to have seconds thoughts just before he passed.
In a statement posted on the star's web site, Barbra Streisand writes 'Arthur and I go way back to 'I Can Get It For You Wholesale' in 1962. Then we did 'The Way We Were' in 1973 and we were about to do 'Gypsy' together.
He created people you care about because he cared about people. I spoke to him a few weeks ago and he sounded so strong, as always. He was lucky to have lived a full and creative life up 'til the very end.
I'll miss working with him again.'
Barbra Streisand is still set to play Mama Rose in GYPSY movie, despite author Arthur Laurents' death, according to Michael Musto of The Village Voice.
Back on March 21, Deadline.com reported that despite comments that Arthur Laurents made to the Hartford Courant earlier this month, that a GYPSY movie starring Barbra Streisand is still a possibility.
Patti LuPone was asked about the potential of the film during an interview with Fort Worth theatre web site, theaterjones.com.
Any thoughts on the Barbra Streisand Gypsy remake that's off and on again?
Doesn't that tell you it's not going to happen? Arthur Laurents told me the three actresses he had in mind for the role, and of the three, Streisand was the best choice. I think she's the best choice.
Do you think it will ever happen?
I hope it doesn't?ha! Movie musicals aren't done well anyway. There's no time for applause for the numbers. They aren't shot correctly?you need to see the dancing. If Streisand gave herself over to the part...singing 'Rose's Turn' is all about giving up control and discovering it every time. I think Streisand is very in control. She would be like, 'I'm going to fart, and everyone's going to hear it!'
Deadline.com is now reporting that despite comments that Arthur Laurents made to the Hartford Courant earlier this month, that a GYPSY movie starring Barbra Streisand is still a possibility. They report that 'a deal is close to being made at Universal Pictures, with Joel Silver producing. Streisand's still in as Rose and so are book writer Arthur Laurents and lyricist Stephen Sondheim.' and that 'Multiple sources said that the deal that's closing gives the show creators a strong say over the screenwriter, director, choreographer and who'll play the roles of Herbie and Louise. Warner Bros retains the rights to be co-financier after it rejected a deal that would have granted those same approvals to heirs.'
