I know! I read that and I was so excited!
shareIs there a tentative date for release? I couldn't find one on that site, but I could just be missing it
shareI couldn't find anything either.

I've bought the soundtrack and just from listening to it have become a die-hard fan. I've never seen the show, and just looking at this Hasselhoff version makes me sick. WHY would they do this when the show had such potential for a great REAL movie. I would be thrilled to see a movie get made, but if they recast Hasselhoff I just might shoot myself after shooting any and all people responsible for sucha decision. Even Cucciolli is a better choice. Hasselhoff might have been the worst choice in Broadway History.
Oh, and if Linda Eder isn't in the movie cast, I probably definitely wouldn't go see it. I know I'm gonna get some disagreement w/ this, but she makes this show. She is what sold me, she is who blows me away every time. W/o her, this show might not be worth it. Getting Christianne Noll to reprise her role would be nice too, however I think Emmy Rossum could do a fine job w/ that part.
The two things I will not stand for is recasting Hasselhoff and not casting Linda Eder. Especially Linda Eder. When I saw that she wasn't in this Hasselhoff version, it made me positive I didn't want to see it, and I wondered why anyone would. Hasselhoff...honestly!!!
Like I previously stated, a well-made movie would be a miracle. I adore the Original Broadway Cast Soundtrack. If they botched it like this version tho, I might die.
Last Movie Watched:Ever After
Rating:Touching w/ good performances. 6/10
Current Best Trailer: Pursuit of Happyness or We Are Marshall

I agree. Linda Eder really makes the show, and without her it doesn't have the same power. There is a reason she has been in the final Broadway version and the recordings previous to that. Yeah...Hasselhoff just...doesn't work. I'm not certain as to whether I agree with you about Emmy Rossum, though. She almost seems too young for the part of Emma. Either way, though, Linda Eder must be in it.

Good point. Emmy Rossum is pretty young looking. Didn't think about that. I just realized her voice fits the part very well.
Last Movie Watched: Mission Impossible 3
Rating: Ummm... Non-stop action. If that's what you want, then thins is your movie. If not, don't bother. 5/10 stars

Even though Coleen Sexton is best Lucy ever, I'd also like to see Idina Menzel, Eden Espinosa, Kristy Cates, Stephanie J. Block or Kristen Stewart as Lucy.
No Day But Today. Today 4 U. One Song Glory.
How we gonna pay last year's RENT?!
I am afraid that Emmy Rossum might ruin the show(she's pretty and an OKAY singer but her acting is really really horrible!)
I strongly support Siri Svegler(a Swedish actress and singer who speaks excellent RP) or Jen Nikolaisen(if she sings) as Lucy.
Emma, Hayley Westenra.
True, but if what their saying about the J&H musical film, these are the songs I hope they put in.
Bring on the Men
Lucy Meets Jekyll
Lucy Meets Hyde
the Mass scene
etc.
All of those, other added songs, into the movie. it would be fine! :)

Not true at all! Emmy Rossum is best Christine from Phantom of the Opera ever!!!

This would be my cast:
Dr. Jekyll/Hyde: Jonathan Rhys Myers - sexy, great actor, and he can SING. He has the role's range, I checked, as he hits a high A natural in "August Rush"
Emma: Romola Garai - a great actress in British film and television. You can look her up, she has a beautiful soprano voice. You can watch her pretend to sing badly in this clip from "Daniel Deronda" on YouTube:

Lucy: Jessica Ellen Cornish (otherwise known as Jessie J) - this might seem like an odd choice, but she definitely has Lucy's range and she was trained in musical theatre. She appeared in Anrdew Lloy'd Webber's "Whistle Down the Wind" in the West End
Here's mine....
Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde: Josh Dallas - Jennifer Morrison (his co-star on "Once Upon a Time") said in an interveiw that he, herself and Ginnifer Goodwin and can all sing. Besides I think I would love to see him in an anti-hero role.
Emma: Emmy Rossum - I LOVED her and her voice in "The Phantom of the Opera" and we need to see her in another musical so that's pretty much why.
Lucy: Natalie Dormer - This might be a risky choice providing I don't know if she sings or not. But from what I've seen of her performance on "The Tudors" I think she has the acting chops for it. UPDATE: I just found out she sings mezzo-soprano.
Dr Jekyll/Edward Hyde... Rufus Sewell
Lucy Harris... Natalie Dormer or maybe Ruth Wilson
Emma Carew... Sophia Myles
John Utterson... Christopher Eccleston
Sir Danvers Carew... Roger Allam
Simon Stride... Jack Davenport
Rupert Basil, The Bishop of Basingstoke... Ian McKellen
General Lord George Glossop... John Rhys-Davies
Sir Archibald Proops... Eddie Izzard
Lady Elizabeth Beaconsfield... Keeley Hawes
Lord Theodore Savage... Allan Corduner
The Spider... Peter Capaldi
Gwennie... Felicity Montagu
Nellie... Anomie Harris
If it were up to me.
I've updated my casting choices for this...
Dr. Henry Jekyll/Edward Hyde-Ben Barnes
Lucy Harris-Natalie Dormer
Emma Carew-Lily James
John Utterson-Jonas Armstrong
Sir Danvers Carew-Nick Dunning
Nellie (Gwennie)-Hannah Waddingham
The Spider-Keith Allen
Simon Stride-Jon Robyns
The Bishop of Basingstoke-John Rhys Davies
General Lord Glossop-Jack Davenport
Sir Archibald Proops-Eddie Izzard
Lady Beaconsfield-Joanna Lumley
Lord Savage-Christopher Eccleston
Well, it was...at least. I haven't heard anything more.
