twincityhacker: hands in an overcoat's pockets (the dramas of a light tech)
I've finally seen the remake of the Producers, and while the orginal is still better... THEY SING, DAMMIT! If I could just intercut the old one with the singing, and a little less dancing ("I want to be a Producer" and "That Face" went on for ages) I also laughed so hard my face hurts.

All in all, still worth buying. Especialy for the deleted scenes. And seeing Brodrick trip and catch himself with a dance step.

And 90% of the special effects was pure theatre magic, which warms my tech heart. (Again, "I want to be a Producer" All the spots! And athe lighting cues - specially during "Betrayed!" *sighs* I want to do tech for The Producers one day, and since they have a PG-13 script of it out there, it's not immpossible.

Edit: And the other major let down was the lack of Estelle Wimwood - the woman that they had playing that charecter was a severe letdown. Dad would argue that Brodrick was also not playing the role to it's potential, but he sings in the film so, I can forgive not quite owning the role.

Edit 2: WTF? Why are the spots in "Leo & Max" diffrent intensities? I mean, if you're making a movie, you might as well get two shiney new followspot bulbs!

Mood: entralled
