    Glenn Close says 'Sunset Blvd' movie still moving forward

    in Movies

    Posted

    Glenn Close is determined to get the Sunset Boulevard remake made.

    “It’s moving forward,” Close, 77, exclusively told Us Weekly of the film at Variety’s 2024 Power of Women luncheon in New York City on Thursday, May 2. “The movie is in the works and I’m not giving up on that one.”

    The Oscar nominee added that she loves the character Norma Desmond, whom she previously played in two separate runs of the Sunset Boulevard Broadway musical.

    “It’s so beautiful to me that she’s always still so relevant. The time passes, but that character is always important,” she said. “We’re trying to find a director, we have a great script. … That character of Norma is so heartbreakingly beautiful and will never not have relevance, it’s been a great blessing to play her and I’m not willing to let her go yet without one more tribute.”

    The mysterious death of 19 year old Oklahoma boy

    I think it very obvious (or more than probable) that drunk kids were driving the truck, and he was naked (he seemed to love being naked in front of his friends) in the back of the truck (and drunk, too). Somehow he fell out (or was pushed out?) and was holding on for dear life - which explains his injuries.

    Can it be the police are really stumped and can't figure this out ? 

     

    Those friends of his know something - or everything - but no one is coming forward.

    A handsome 19 year old found dead after partying for four days last September. It's a tragic situation haunting his family members, who are looking for answers.

    I would ask to see his permit to collect sales tax issued by the state of NY (or wherever he claims he resides). Of course, if he's travelling out of his home state - no taxes collected (unless he's like Amazon and registered in every state).

    Any new experience with him ? I'm considering hiring him when he comes to my area. However, if he's charging that much with no touching or HE - forget it. 

    It's time for a MAME revival

    I think about this from time to time. It's one of the few (if only) great classical musicals that hasn't been revived in the last 35 years.  

    My latest thinking has been Patina Miller as Mame and Leslie Kritzer or Kara Lindsay as Vera Charles.

    I think it needs celebrity names on the marquee to make it successful - just like Midler in 'Gypsy' and Jackman in 'The Music Man'. 

    BICYCLES!!! (and the freaks that use them)

    My city did this to a major thoroughfare which is lined with businesses and restaurants. They narrowed a two lane road (which lead traffic out of the downtown to the on-ramp of a major highway) to a one lane road, removed parking spaces and installed a barely-used bike lane to the anger of business owners. Mostly to appease the college students at three nearby universities.

    After four years of traffic turmoil and a major loss to businesses, the new mayor (elected last November) has finally listened to the business community and angry drivers and has decided to remove the bike lane and revert back to the way things used to be by the end of May. It will cost taz payers a few hundreds of thousands of dollars to do this - same as it cost to install the bike lane in 2020.

    It's definitely time for a MAME revival on Broadway. I know there was some serious talk about a revival by Jerry Herman back in 2002-03, at the same time there was talk about a TV Movie on ABC. (Streisand was going to star, then she was going to direct and Cher was to star, then Bette Midler was to star, etc.). His plan to bring it back to B'way squashed the ABC project. He was hoping to have three of his revivals up and running by 2010 - 'Mame', 'La Cage' and 'Hello Dolly'. 

     

    At the time, he mentioned actress Michele Lee (she had just finished a run in 'Tales of the Allergist's Wife'), but also mentioned a few others (I remember Glenn Close and Shirley MacLaine were also talked about). But plans fell through when he decided to revive "La Cage" first, which opened in 2004 and flopped, closing six months later. He iced his plans for the other two. 

    'Dolly' was finally revived in a successful run with Bette Midler a few years ago, and there was talk once again that 'Mame' was next - but the pandemic squashed those rumors. Nothing has been said since, except among fans who've had it on their wish list.

     

    It's time there was a revival these days - who do you think could star and make it a successful revival ?

    It seems like she determined 'Sunset Blvd' was a 'shitty musical' only after she got fired and she had gotten bad reviews.  Before that, she seemed to like it - especially in its workshop, rehearsals, previews, etc.  If she thought it was 'shitty' from the beginning, she would have never contracted herself to star in the West End and then again on Broadway. A talented, reputable legend such as she  would've quit early on, not wanting to be associated with this 'shitty' musical...yet, she didn't.
