Just an idea, maybe you'll want to discuss

I don't know if anyone here enjoys musical theatre, but Chris Columbus (director of the first two Home Alone and Harry Potter films) is currently writing the screenplay to a film version of RENT. He's been quoted in interviews as looking for "actors who can really sing" to fill the roles, and that got me thinking...

Adam would make a really great Mark. Anyone here know the show and agree with me?

Production for that film has been going on and off forever now it's given me a headache. Does this mean it's back on again?

Yeah, a month or two ago Miramax finally gave Columbus the go-ahead to write the script, and they've also hired him to direct. Casting supposedly hasn't started yet, but several actors/singers have expressed interest. Justin Timberlake wanted to star as Roger, but when he found he had to actually audition for the role, he declined.

I remember when they posted the audition notices when Spike Lee was on board, and then all of a sudden that fell through. I was going to go to that audition too.

I'm quite fond of Tony Rapp but he's definitely moved on from Mark. I could see Adam in the role, specifically singing-wise. As for character, I see it as being something different for him so who knows how he'd approach the role. I'd be interested to see. Overall, I don't know, really. I could go back and forth.

What role were you going to audition for? Just as an extra?

After watching The Jury tonight, I can really see Adam getting into Mark. He has the look (well, the glasses at least), the voice, and the acting talent to pull it off.

Yeah, it was the dancer call.

Interestingly, it would be like type casting him in that part, except when it comes to personalities so that's what I would be curious to see; how Adam could take on that personality.

Though if Joey Fatone was considered for the movie after playing Mark on Broadway well...I don't know.

I know I never post, but I really have to agree here. Adam would be an excellent Mark! What I wouldn't do to see him sing/dance Tango: Maureen.
