how do you feel about the new Rent movie coming out?
i'm not so sure about it yet.
it's one of those things where i think it's either going to be totally awesome, or it's going to suck horribly.
i've listened to a few of the songs on the soundtrack....and i'm still skeptical.
i can say two things:
1. i'm glad that at least mark and roger (and maybe angel?) are the original cast members, because they're what make the musical for me. maureen's character is the same too, which is awesome.
2. rosario dawson should not have been cast as mimi. her voice isn't sweet/innocent enough, and it sounds like they had to lower 'out tonight' for her so she could hit the high notes. on the original soundtrack i know that I could not it that note, but i could when i listened to rosario sing it. plus her face is too boxy and man-ish. haha. it just changes the entire character for me.
i guess i shouldn't be so judgement considering that i've never seen the actual musical....i just have my overly active imagination from being addicted to the original cast soundtrack.
i don't know....give me your opinion, please!
