"Hairspray" Trailer

I thought it was doomed when they cast John Travolta, but this looks really fun.

OMG! I'm more gay now than I was five minutes ago....I cannot wait!!!!

Wow. I didn't think it was possible (or a good idea) to even TRY to top the classic Ricki Lake version, but this looks GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

I was uber excited when the news was first announced that it was being remade, but after the casting choices, I'm not as estatic was I was lol

Michelle Phieffer as Velma? What a Travesty, since Debbie Harry was willing to reprise the role, except she wasn't called. Zac Efron as Link? Link is supposed to be a slick, sullen, suave guy with magnetic good looks, I don't see it in Efron. And the creepy Christopher Walken as Wilbur Turnblad? Ewww!

Jerry Stiller and Ricki Lake are the only original castmembers to have cameos! Of course Ruth Brown, Sonny Bono and Divine have passed on but where's Joann Havrilla, Colleen Fitzpatrick/Vitamin C, Michael St. Gerard, Clayton Prince, Mink Stole & Shawn Thompson.

The rest of the casting is pretty good though, especially Britney Snow as Amber and Latifah as Motermouth.

Chalk it up to be being an obsessed John Waters fan, but I'm a tad disappointed. I'm still going to see it of course, since John thought the new versions were good enough for Broadway and the big screen.

Sorry, but its a travesty NOT to cast Marisa Jaret Winoker, BRILLIANT in her Tony winning performance, as Tracy, or Harvey Feirstein, brilliant in his Tony winning role as Edna, in the movie.

I won't be seeing this.

Kenny might have to eat his words...I just got back from seeing it on opening night and it was GREAT. John Travolta did a great job in the movie, and Nikki Blonsky was chosen for all the right reasons to play the lead.

Absolutely loved Queen Latifah; Michelle Pfeiffer did a great job playing evil..

Did you all really thing that Hairspray was good?

I wanna see it. It looks good!

SO GOOD!! I'm a little obsessed and will prolly go see it again!!!! No lyin'

I loved it from beginning to end. Best movie I've seen all year easily. The acting was phenomenal and everyone was perfect in their role. The only disposable role was that of the father, Chris Walken. John Travolta seriously better get some oscar love next year. He was flawless, his career was going down the tubes, this role has saved it... its funny Pulp Fiction saved it in the 90's and IMO John hasn't had a strong role since Pulp and here he is. Michelle Pheiffer also was completely amazing as Velma. Loved it. I am definitely buying the DVD when it comes out. Its a keeper.

Elijah Kelly was rocking it as Seaweed...and I am sooo glad that they chose Nikki Blonski for the role of Tracy...she was great.

It definitely is a keeper...I wasn't sure if I would like seeing the Broadway musical on the movie screen...

As for John Travolta; he does great in musical roles; he was awesome in Grease and seeing him in Hairspray was mind-blowing...he really did excellent in the role.
