Film and Theatre Lover!
Ok since I have a very strange obsession going on with Mickey Rourke. I thought I would post a picture everyday until I get bored (which is not likely anytime soon).
So today’s will be . . . an old one of Mickey in the sand.
Today’s picture is from ‘P.S. I Love You’ and is my favorite part. When Holly (Hilary Swank) is singing “The Man That Got Away” from ‘A Star Is Born’ featuring Judy Garland.
Very interesting musical. Can’t really think how it will work, so I would be very curious to see it.
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan‘s 1993 romantic comedy Sleepless In Seattle is heading to Broadway – as a musical.
Screenwriter Jeff Arch, who penned the hit movie, is working with composer and lyricist Leslie Bricusse to turn the film into a song-and-dance production for the New York stage.
The theatre adaptation, aimed for release in 2010, will be directed by My Big Fat Greek Wedding filmmaker Joel Zwick and produced by David Shor, according to industry paper Daily Variety.
Awww I think thats such a shame, even though he is too old for the part now. But would have been cool for him to revive his film role on Broadway.
Kevin Bacon has pre-warned Broadway bosses not to bother offering him a role in a revival of his hit movie musical Footloose – because he’s “not interested”.
The actor starred as Ren McCormack in the original 1984 film, about a Chicago, Illinois-bred teenager who moves to a small town that has banned dancing and rock music.
The movie was turned into a musical, which hit the New York stage back in 1998.
There has been talk of a new production – but Bacon won’t be involved.
He tells the New York Daily News, “I’m not interested in doing that. They did one, and that’s enough for me.”
