2004 -- year of the Foxx, hands down.
None of it means a damn thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Any Rent fans- can someone explain a scenario in which they do two days of filming for the movie in Santa Fe that wouldn't be ridiculously silly?
He actually goes, doesn't he? Aw. Rent.

Well, he does, but you never see him there. Even a packing/unpacking montage doesn't seem like it warrants two days of shooting vs. FIVE in the Village.
My nightmare is some dream sequence for the song Santa Fe.

Yeah, dream sequence was my first thought, really.

So, wait. Where's the Rent movie info? I just looked on imdb, and almost all the Bway people are listed, which is very exciting, except...aren't they too old now?

Well, I've got a friend who's got a friend working on the movie, so she knew about locations stuff. She didnt talk about casting, as we were too busy constructing the aforementioned Santa Fe dream sequence train wreck.
I had checked imdb, though, and I think that the only two casting changes from the original were Rosario Dawson as Mimi and Traci Thoms as Joanne. That could be all wrong, though.

Right on. Man, I loved Rent. Now I can't decide if I'm excited or dreading it.

We were big Rent-head types in high school. We were torn between the promise of a movie with a near original-cast, and a nightmare of Chris Columbus trying to make his very own little Moulin Rouge.

Chris Columbus + original cast says to me it will be a perfectly adequate recreation of the original stage show. With, apparently, added Santa Fe......

Well, I checked an Adam Pascal site and an Idina Metzel site, and they both say they are starting soon. So the casting is probably right.
Starts to get excited.
