So they're not using the original characters?
Why not just call it High School Musical XIII? by Ray Gamma	Oct 12th, 2008 05:16:47 PM
If there's no scene with hundreds of kids dancing on car roofs I'll stomp out of the cinema in a hissy huff.

7th...so Thomas Dekker really is gay... by Leafar the Lost	Oct 12th, 2008 05:51:35 PM
It really come as a surprise. I will not see Fame, and I will NEVER see High School Musical III. I do watch the Terminator series, which is almost good. It is so close to being a good show. It also shouldn't be surprising that he will be cast as Robin in the third Batman movie from Chris Nolan, which is due out in 2010.
A Fame remake? by the podosphere	Oct 12th, 2008 06:04:44 PM
Was anyone clamoring for this? Really?
I just do not get it... by sfgeek	Oct 12th, 2008 06:30:34 PM
Is Hollywood slowly (or quickly) over time lost their minds. podo... you're right, who the hell was wanting this one remade? Insane.
I saw Fame: The Musical (I got free tickets) a while back... by Amy Chasing	Oct 12th, 2008 07:21:04 PM
and it really sucked. BTW, can Ridley Scott tell us if this Dekker guy is a replicant?
Meh, I say yet again. by toxicbuddha	Oct 12th, 2008 07:24:30 PM
Not sure this needs doing. The original holds up rather well IMHO. Hollywood is just giving up on anything remotely original it seems.
For notwanting to be cast as gay... by jimbojones123	Oct 12th, 2008 08:07:17 PM
that's all I have to say about that.
"assay John Connor"? by Bass Ackwards	Oct 12th, 2008 08:18:16 PM

He is gay by yassoo	Oct 12th, 2008 10:43:07 PM
Fact. I've worked on that set.
As Nancy Kerrigan so succinctly put it... by darquelyte	Oct 12th, 2008 11:04:41 PM
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? (sob, sob, sob, sob) Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? Is there really a NEED to remake this? Is Dekker THAT hard up for work?
Another worthless remake by sns	Oct 12th, 2008 11:51:20 PM
crap total crap.....no need for writers anymore
Yer a good kid. by Roketopunch	Oct 13th, 2008 02:19:34 AM
Everything this guy is in is GAY or he plays someone gay in it.
another Geffen Baby? by Maniaq	Oct 13th, 2008 05:02:20 AM
three guesses and the first two don't count
so john connor is gay? by punto	Oct 13th, 2008 06:26:29 AM
who knew.. I guess he is kinda pretty.
They should remake it with the original cast. by tonagan	Oct 13th, 2008 06:54:36 AM
A bunch of forty-somethings playing teens would be hysterical, especially since Paul McCrane went so damn bald.
Summer Glau in the Irene Cara role... by Karl Childers	Oct 13th, 2008 07:44:36 AM
..because T:TSCC will be cancelled and they have such chemistry. Hahahaha. She can dance, anyway.

"Sing with me if you want to live"
this just won't work by oisin5199	Oct 13th, 2008 01:30:30 PM
the original Fame was classic in a kind of raw sense. R-rated, intentionally underplayed and underwritten, almost documentary-like at times. There's just no way this can be made today without it coming across as crass MTV-style advertising with cliche plots about 'making it' and cookie-cutter characters.
So is going to suck like Rent? by drewlicious	Oct 13th, 2008 02:27:03 PM
I never got to see Rent on stage but I detested the movie. I'm a sucker for musicals in general but Rent just agitated me with it's phony bohemian bullshit. I can't criticize the play because I didn't see it on stage when it was fresh and new, sometimes context provides a lot. As for Fame, this just sounds like a remake I can live without. How about a big screen version of Wicked instead?
Dekker directed a movie by drewlicious	Oct 13th, 2008 02:30:22 PM
It's called "Whore" and I guess it's supposed to get a limited release sometime this year. I have no idea what the quality is but I have to admit it's pretty impressive for a 19 year old to finish anything with a budget. It can either be interesting or it could be like James Franco's "The Ape." Anyone who saw that knows exactly what I'm talking about when personal ambition doesn't necessarilyl equate to quality.
Jeez... by BizarroJerry	Oct 13th, 2008 04:20:54 PM
How did I know that when I clicked on this talkback I'd see gay jokes. How original.
Equal opportunity gaydar by weebay	Oct 14th, 2008 06:28:47 AM
As a gay man I'm glad even the straight guys here can figure out which way ole Tommy swings.
