Rent
Here is a brief update for all of you moviegoers who are excited to see the Broadway musical Rent come to the big screen. Though I do admit that I am a bit more excited for another Broadway adaptation, The Producers, listening to the stars talk about Rent is enough to show the excitement around this film.
Rent Clip
Just about the entire cast, and some of the crew, sit in front of the camera to talk about Rent and the work that went into bringing the Broadway play to film. While they discuss the film, we also get tons of behind the scene footage and clips from the film.
Based on Puccini's classic opera La Boheme, Jonathan Larson's revolutionary rock opera Rent tells the story of a group of bohemians struggling to live and pay their rent in the gritty background of New York's East Village. "Measuring their lives in love," these starving artists strive for success and acceptance while enduring the obstacles of poverty, illness and the AIDS epidemic.
One of the longest running shows on Broadway, Rent was the winner of the 1996 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the Obie Award, the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, four Tony Awards and three Drama Desk awards.
