I'd say this clip is pretty good proof she can do a musical: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-d2i4PhqlM Whether she'll be good as Donna I'm not sure...but I'm thinking so... |

i think mamma mia can defiantly carry its self as a movie because its not to dramatic, its fun... so hopefully theres not to much to screw up, but they could prove me wrong, we'll just have to wait and see | ||||

Bollocks...
And films that are dramatic can't carry themselves? Or do you mean just musical films that are dramatic?

Re: Bollocks...
well when they made phantom of the opera into a movie it pretty much killed it |

Bollocks...
I've got news for you. The Phantom of the Opera wasn't a flop because it was dramatic. For many other reasons, yes. But not because it was dramatic. Later days David |

Re: Bollocks...
For me the #1 reason the PotO movie didn't work was Gerard Butler's crappy singing.  And his acting didn't successfully personify "the phantom". The film had other problems but replacing Butler with a more competent singer/actor would have helped the film a great deal.
Movie musicals have traditionally been light comedies so Mamma Mia! should fit the mold quite well. But I'm not a big fan of classical Hollywood musicals (although there are some I like) so I hope Mamma Mia! will be more representative of a 'modern' movie musical. Sorry, but I'm not sure how to define that. |

i quite like the idea of brosnan
i assume he's playing sam? as long as he can sing well i think he'll be perfect, and they wouldn't have cast him if he couldn't sing.

Meryl Streep is a very experienced singer (you can hear her sing solo in the international trailer-frickin amazing!)
Brosnan is indeed Sam Colin Firth is Harry Stallan Skarsgaard (sp?) is Bill Christine Baranski is Tanya The trailers are awsome...I'm very excited since at leats the vocal quality appears to be good. |
