"This is my favorite book in all the world though I have never read it," begins "The Princess Bride," my favorite book in all the world having read it many times.
"Rent" is one of my favorite Broadway musicals though I have never seen it. I heard the song "Seasons of Love" a few years ago, bought the show CD and have listened to it often ever since.
So I was thrilled to see the theatrical preview for the film version of "Rent." When I searched for the trailer online because I wanted to see it again, I discovered that the cast and others have blogged about the experience of making the movie.
There are sneak peeks, video entries, behind the scenes moments, and even entries by the playwright's family (he died 9 years ago, the day "Rent" was supposed to start in previews).
I wish more casts blogged about the making of films; I'd be much more excited about going to the movies. In fact, I wish TV casts did it, starting retroactively with "Sex and the City" and continuing with soap operas which lend themselves to the form.
Thanks for letting us know about the upcoming film version of "Rent". Definitely something to look forward to!
BTW, I linked you under "Florida". That's where you live, right? Just checking.

i agree - that would be very interesting, i would love to hear what these actors have to say about how they get into character- especially SATC!
do they giggle constantly at a bunch of "you had to be there" jokes or is it serious on set...? i'd love to know!
