Why No Movie?Does anyone else think that his show would make a phenominal movie? |

The secret garden has been made into a movie already, a couple of times actually. a movie version of the musical would be nice in theory but it would probably end up being bad like most of the movie-musicals that have come out recently | ||||

No. |

If it's in a few years, and I'm cast as Lily, then yes.
What? |

^ You'd make a wonderful Lily. You have the look.
A movie musical version would be great. I don't see how it wouldn't work. |

The only thing I'm worried about for a movie is that it may disapoint the fans if they don't do it justice!!!!
other than that GO FOR IT!!!!!!!! |

Now, now. The reason Phantom was so poorly done was of course because of Joel Schumacher's crappy directing and casting choice (with no offence to Gerard Butler) | ||||

I think that a movie would be cool!Dear "Secret Garden" Fans,I think that a movie version of the musical, "The Secret Garden", would be super cool! Who would you cast as Mary, etc.? Thanks in advance for your replies.

I think I should be Mary. | ||||

It would have to come out in quite a few years so I'd be old enough for any of the roles. | ||||

I'd love to be Mary...but at 15, I'd say I'm too old to pull her off unless I was doing it in a college production where everyone else is atleast 5 inches taller than me. | ||||

It'd be a bit awkward to incorporate the Dreamers... unless they were just cut... | ||||

I have a vision for this film that would work...unfortunately...I can't describe it for you...haha. |

Too...scary, or too adult?Dear Sweeney Hyde,Is your idea for a film version of "TSG" too scary, or is it just too adult for a family audience? You're likely to be intriguing various posters with your remark about the idea... I know that the 1993 movie version of the story included suggested incest, a suggested love triangle, etc. I know that someone who posted on www.imdb.com is saying that there's an implied relationships between Dickon and Mary...in the book! Wow! Thanks in advance for your reply.

There's no implied relationship during the time in which the novel is set. Mary is nine-years-old for God's sake. I think the novel does imply that she marries him as an adult.
Although I happen to recall a movie sequel to The Secret Garden in which Mary marries Colin. Which I think is utterly weird. I think for a film version, the Dreamers could be shown once, perhaps twice, but usually they serve to move between scenes. I think they would work as voiceovers for those bits. I can see it in my mind, a pan shot across the moor to Misselthwaite Manor, and then the voices "In the house upon the hill..." |
