POP CULTURE: Next Musical Movie???

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.

POP CULTURE: Good news and bad news

Good news: Variety reports that New Line Cinema has contracted John Waters to write a sequel to Hairspray. YEA!



Bad news: Variety also reports that MTV is remaking Rocky Horror Picture Show. WHAT WHAT WHAT? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Thanks to Big Lug Land for the heads up on this one)

Per BLL's tweet on the subject:
