 Jekyll and Hyde--The Movie
This is not to be confused with other J % H films. At the end of January 2005, at a production of "Little Women", I believe, Playbill.com asked Frank Wildhorn what he was currently working on. His response? Jekyll and Hyde--the Movie. So, it appears that we can expect Jekyll and Hyde to come to the silver screen.

 Re: Jekyll and Hyde--The Movie
Here's to David Hasselhoff in the title role!

ehh... obviously Gerard Buttler is the only man for the job.
BUT I can't imagine this coming into frutation anytime soon. What studio in their right mind whould touch a Frank Wildhorn project at this point? I mean, I love him to death but his shows don't end up making much money in the states...

I am not going to ask for too much and hope for Anthony Warlow or Ethan Freeman to get the role, but as long as they don't consider Hasselhoff i am satisfied.

It's not a Hollywood make, J.
*Sigh* With this current trend to turn as many existing musicals into movies as possible, maybe they should try to *gasp* do something that's original instead? I know they love to make re-makes or re-hash things that have already been done in other mediums, but I'm pretty sure that Hollywood hasn't dried up so much that they don't have any creative juices left for, say, a movie musical that doesn't already exist on stage?

ummm... yeah, that's not a film. granted it's a FILMED version of the Broadway stage version but it's not a movie in the same respect that Phantom of the Opera and Chicago are MOVIES. DVDs like the Hugh Jackman OKLAHOMA! and CATS or the JOSEPH DVD with Donny Osmond are not films. they're filmed versions of live stage shows. it's completely different yet hard to explain...

David Hasslehoff had no business in that role.
Gerard may be an okay Jekyll. I wasn't impressed with his Phantom.
I'd like to see Ewan mcGregor in more stuff. I'm excited about him in "Guys and Dolls."

Everyone's a critic. I enjoyed his performance, though. He sang many of the songs in a lower octive (which bothered me for a minute), but he did that because he knew his vocal limitations.
Sabastien Bach would be great in this proposed film version of J&H. If he goes to acting school, he might make an astoinishing J&H. He has the chops, but he has no acting range. At least he sings the role in all the correct keys.
