| Hugh may no longer be available, if he is considered for "Joe Gillis". While I would not be surprised if he is offered the role ( he has played it in the stage musical in Australia with Trevor Nunn who eventually cast him again in Oklahoma!...and since the new head of Paramount is Jim Gianopulos who was former Fox head who helped recommend the greenlight for Greatest Showman...and who has worked with Hugh on the Hollywood MPTF annual concert series of which he was chairman), Hugh may no longer be available. He is set to start filming in late October a new major project called REMINISCENCE with Rebecca Ferguson, which has just been picked up by Warner Bros for distribution. Unless Sunset Blvd is delayed in its filming schedule, Hugh may not be in a position to consider any offer for the Joe role. I do think they need to cast an actor who can at least look credible in the romantic liaison with Norma Desmond. Since Glenn Close is now 70 years old, maybe they need someone who also physically fits the role just like the virile-looking William Holden in the original film noir version by Billy Wilder. Otherwise, the strong persona that Glenn seems to suggest will overwhelm her pseudo-romantic partner in Sunset Blvd. |

| What about Gerard Butler? He was the lead in the film adaptation of a sung-thru musical, ALWebber's greatest hit, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA? | |
