TwinIon Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Disney is going to release Hamilton as a feature film on October 15, 2021. The film is being described as a “leap forward in the art of ‘live capture.'” It explains the live capture method as “combining the best elements of live theater and film,” resulting in “a cinematic stage performance that is a wholly new way to experience Hamilton.” The original Broadway cast filmed the production in 2016. As someone that really enjoys musical theater but hasn't been able to see the show, I'm happy to finally get a chance that doesn't require hundreds of dollars per seat.

Emblazon Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I’ve seen it twice. And I’ll be seeing it when it comes to movie theaters, too! @Anzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emblazon Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Dammit. Release date isn’t until October 15th, 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 At least it'll come out eventually. I was totally consumed by the album for a solid 18+ months, but was never able to afford my way to the theater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's the case, but I'm sure some Hollywood exec thought that the idea behind Cats was "immersive capture" too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I would agree that is probably correct, the press release is incredibly light on details so who knows exactly what the end product will be like?

They are going to make the songs rock. It's going to star Ryan Gosling (because everyone loves him) and they are gonna have to add some Asian characters so it will get some run in China. Otherwise they aren't changing a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puerto Ricans, like Cubans and Brazilians have a large percentage of Native, Black (Slavery), and Spanish (Jew, Moor, and from the Kingdom). They aren't the same culturally as African Americans. AOC is also the same background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
