WILL SMITH takes the SHOW

[+ purplekow]

Combining the built in lovability of the role and Smith's ability to engage, that is not surprising. I hear the movie is generally uninspired though.

Boring ...?

I'll politely disagree. It had me on the edge of my chair the whole time.

Yes - I've been to movies and shows like that too. On the edge of my seat, trying to find just the right moment to get up and run out.

I don't understand why they have to remake the movie in live action, but I understand why they are doing it. Maleficent worked better than these carbon-copy remakes because it was a new spin on a familiar tale. I hear they are doing Cruella with Emma Stone. That idea is better than another remake of 101 Dalmatians. (And who can replace the fabulous Glenn Close?)

Because that's their latest gimmick. Especially with their Broadway shows now (I assume you know that The Lion King will be foisted upon us next month?). It's the "You saw the cartoon, you saw the stage adaptation of the cartoon, now see the cartoon again but with real people!!!"

 

Next, I can predict a newly-staged Beauty And The Beast based on the live action film, no doubt. It will never end.
