Since we now hear that the Rocky Horror Picture Show is due for a rebirth, and a musical Hairspray 2 is on its way, my question to all of you: What musical would you like to see rebirthed as a musical movie... and what else is in the works that you know about???
My count over the last 10-12 years is:
Evita
Hairspray
Dreamgirls
Chicago
Sweeny Todd
Madame Butterfly
Phantom of the Opera
The Producers
Rent
Mamma Mia!
Am I missing any?
Oh, and I was totally thinking that they shoudl remake the Legally Blonde movie in the musical form -- but how post-modern would it be if there was a movie made into a musical made into a movie musical? Weird.

You mean like Hairspray? ;)
So you got the joke. How POMO is it that it is a movie, made into a musical, made into a movie musical, made into a movie musical sequel???
Whoa. Did I just blow your mind.
That's nothing. I'm still holding out for Hairspray 2: The Movie: The Video Game: The NEW Broadway Musical!: The Movie.
Or just Hairspray: The Flamethrower.
Hairspray: The Flamethrower...
Hm, is that the one where they throw Zac Effron like the Scots do those big logs???
Get it... throwing the flame.
LOL.
I'm so clever.
Technically, I think Legally Blonde would be a novel turned into movie turned into musical turned into MTV special turned into reality show turned into movie-musical.
Regardless, my vote goes to Xanadu as the next movie musical.
jere. u just blew my mind.
