Just a quick note to say that apparently a movie version of RENT will be hitting the big screens in November 2005 and will be coming to our shores in December 2005.

Featuring much of the original cast members in the movie (Taye Diggs as Benny, Idina menzel as Maureen etc) it is directed by Christopher Colombus.

Does anyone else know anything about this?? If you do or have heard something along the line, please let me know.

Apparently (for those of you who know the show) Take Me Or Leave Me - the best song in the show - may not make it into the movie

Apparently the action of the movie has been moved from NYC to LA (or possibly SF, anyway definitely California)

Re: RENT THE MOVIE

Just letting you know that you can view a trailer of the movie on the Apple.com quicktime movie trailer webpage...

Can't think of the address off the top of my head but go to http://www.apple.com/trailers/ and it should be there somewhere - just click around.

If you're a dial-up user - don't even bother checking it out unless you have lots of free time!
