One of the best musicals in recent memory becomes... a movie.

Whenever I see anything about Rent, all I can think of is the opening sequence to Team America.

"And we all have AIDS!"

Sweet, I love musicals.

That's actually one of my three wishes if I met a genie...that life was a musical.

I had heard that this project was in the making but I had completely forgotten. I will most likely go see it, I think I will like it.
I have sung a few of the songs from that musical in high school so I would like to actually see the whole story.

Musicals can be funny. Like Jesus Christ super star, oh those Romans in the purple tank tops carrying sub-machine guns.

Have you seen Cannibal: The Musical? Made by the guys behind South Park.

Let's see... a trailer for the film featuring the most overplayed song in the musical, "Seasons of Love" = Lame Movie.

Go see it live as it was meant to be.

Or...read on:

Summary: Impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive in New York's Alphabet City neighborhood under the shadow of AIDS.

jesus christ superstar = the best musical ever made... seen it like 20 times. have the soundtrack, and ted neeley is the man.

Does the RENT movie even have songs in it? I heard it didn't, and saw the trailer during the previews of Guess Who. They had the "how do you measure a year" song, but that's it.

Firstly, yes, Jesus Christ Superstar is the greatest thing ever.

And can you imagine Rent without songs? That would sort of be like making a Grease movie without songs. Or Chicago without songs - it would probably just end up weird if there isn't good people behind it.

If the RENT movie doesn't have songs then it will completely suck, but I would definitely assume that it will. And Jesus Christ Superstar is a good musical, but not the best if you ask me. The best ones I've seen/worked on are probably Les Miserables and West Side Story.

Re: RENT
 
les miserables comes in a close second... the songs are good, but not as good... yeah, story is more in depth and clever, but... songs aren't as good.
