I don't thnk the market place or any big studio would invest in a project as this. It was hard for them to convince studios to finance musicals-Chicago or Rent
DJ- I was thinking more along the lines of a screw-ball comedy, not a musical but I see your point. Neither genre is exactly easily produced, then successfully sold to the public. Until Chicago, I would've thought musicals (in movies) were a thing of the past. But financing aside, are there any modern actors charming and talented enough to pull off a screw-ball comedy? A good one?
oooh, oooh, oooh...can we goin to a bar to have some drinks first?? then we can start a bar-room brawl. <(8-) hihihi (you would woop my deriere) :)
Oh, sweetie, i'm sorry. i didn't know you were so possessive of me. ok, i will only be your one and only. (don't tell the boys). ;) hahhahah. luv ya babe! smooch!
If you were to ask me who I go to when I want charm, I'd probably say Colin Firth. But the amazing thing about Grant is how he OOZES charm and yet can be totally fuckin' goofy. It's that whole "trained as an acrobat thing" if you ask me.
Ellen- I'd have to agree 100%. I was just curious what others thought. Apparently for my efforts I've found out I'm a polygamist, so that's good to know.
Jude Law or Brad Pitt might could try to fit into that role, but would it work successfully, well, I'd have my doubts. I just thought of Ewan McGregor too, which has been in musicals and might be the closer to pull it off...

Never seen this -- Big Love takes the opposite approach, as far as people actually sleeping together . . . . .

I'm shocked SHOCKED by all of you. Such a wholesome film and look where we arrive at.
These comments made me laugh.

Nobody comes close. AT ALL.

Blanco- Sigh, you & your ball obsession. :)

Those guys can't even hold a feeble, burned out candle to Cary Grant or James Stewart.
