There just isn't much movie news to talk about today, but there was one interesting piece that Deadline broke earlier: Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are committed to starring in a remake of the classic musical "Guys and Dolls." While the film doesn't necessarily have a greenlight, 20th Century Fox has the rights and apparently both actors are interested in the parts, so the studio will be trying to scoop a writer and director together. For those who don't know, the classic film starred Hollywood legends- Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando. Are these guys the right actors to take over those roles?
My knowledge of "Guys and Dolls" is limited, outside of "Luck Be a Lady Tonight", but with Les Miserables impressing me so much (and doing so well at the box office) I don't really mind the inevitable wave of movie musicals revving up to hit theaters. That being said, I'm more interested in seeing film versions of "Wicked" or "Spring Awakening" (which will be hard to adapt, but still...). I also want another Rent movie, so we can forget the godawful travesty of a film Christopher Columbus churned out a few years ago. Hell, I even liked the idea of having JGL in the role of Roger. But, a guy can dream.
Also, with all this talk of music, has anybody been listening to the songs released from The Great Gatsby soundtrack? All I can say is wow. We got some serious contenders for Best Original Song. I included my favorite track at the bottom of this article, be sure to check it out.
