The Producers (Re-make)

[Rocket Romano]

Due out Boxing Day, BBC Film 05 offering advance screening tickets for the 14th Dec.

Uma Thurman, Matthew Broderick, Lane and Will Ferrell

Don't know who much its been re-worked but looking forward to this.

The trailer looks quite funny. I haven't seen the stage production though so I can't compare.

But anyway, I hate musicals and from the trailer I wanna see it.

 

[Dubversion]

it seems pointless. from the trailer, there's whole sections which are identical. i can't see Broderick as Bloom and Ferrell as the nazi is a disater. don't think i'll bother

I wouldn't've thought the point was to be different from the stage show - just cash in on its popularity really, however inferior it is.

I don't think anyone will ever match that performance.Or Gene Wilder's transformation from nervous wreck to big time fraudster.

From imdb.......

Max Bialystock: What's the matter with you?
Leo Bloom: I'm hysterical! I'm having hysterics! I'm hysterical! I can't stop when I get like this. I can't stop. I'm hysterical. Oh my god. Ah-la-la-la.
[Bialystock throws a glass of water in Leo's face]
Leo Bloom: [stunned] ... I'm wet! I'm wet! I'm hysterical and I'm wet!
[Bialystock slaps Leo]
Leo Bloom: ...I'm in pain! I'm in pain, and I'm wet!... and I'm still hysterical!
[Max raises his hand to slap Leo again]
Leo Bloom: No, no, no don't hit, don't hit. It doesn't help. It only increases my sense of danger.
Max Bialystock: What can I do? What can I do? You're getting me hysterical.
Leo Bloom: Go away. Go away. You frighten me.

Of course having read recent threads on the subject I understand now that the correct way for Max to have dealt with Leo's hysteria should have been to shoot him

i meant identical to the original movie.

 

[spanglechick]

nathan lane is phenomenal broadway actor though... which is in its favour...

 

[Rocket Romano]

Will Ferrel is the only possiblity for being better than the original.

While we're on it.

Could you get Blazing Saddles onto the stage?!
