KNJ 4,170 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Was wondering... What person of color could play some main characters? Could DEF see Lin -Manuel Miranda as awkward Seymour What about updating time periods? Each decade has aesthetic pitfalls, in this regard, and Little Shops 50s/60s vibe is integral to the plot. BUT Has anyone seen the show Sex Education on Netflix? I absolutely love how you can easily forget the era. Which helps the audience realize how universal and perennial these "modern teen problems" actually are. "She's an intellectual, your honor" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franch Toast 25,277 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I feel like y'all have been reading my mind here, as all of this Little Shop of Horrors talk made me think of Rocky Horror too, and I've been listening to the soundtrack of the latter since last night, musing that LG would fit so well into the Rocky Horror universe. Laverne Cox was great on the TV version, though too beautiful for Dr. F in my mind (the woman can't help but be glamorous). I'd love to see LG in a big-screen remake or a stage version of it; she'd be so fun. She could also do a great Janet, but she'd shine as Dr. F.  She/Her/Hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Think Janelle is too big for this and Lizzo just broke thru to. I don't know Ari Lennox. It's a great spotlight role. Also think of other ethnicities.

Production Design: Sound: Sean McCormack [I heard Hustlers sound design was great so?] Cinematography: ???

"A new Monster may be coming to Warner Brothers! Lady Gaga is ready to make her return to the big screen in the studioâs Little Shop of Horrors reboot, a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly." https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/lady-gaga-was-offered-a-role-in-little-shop-of-horrors-reboot/ This is a good idea tbh. It's a campy, dark musical; she'd kill it. And musicals do well during awards season! She needs to NOT do another re-make just yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
