Thas' right ya'll.. GWCTD is hittin Boadway.
Bill Pullman was s'posed to play Matt Drayton; but now apparently Richard Gere's gonna replace him.. ?
heres the article:
Richard Gere is in talks to reteam with his An Officer + A Gentleman co-star Debra Winger on Broadway.
Gere is the favourite to replace Bill Pullman in the upcoming revival of Guess Who's Coming To Dinner? opposite Winger. according to FoxNews.com.
Pullman was forced to pull out of the production because of a reported scheduling conflict.
If Gere accepts the role, it will be his first Broadway stint since he appeared in Bent in the early 1980s.
The play is based on the beloved 1968 movie, which starred Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy as the concerned parents of a young woman who brings a black doctor home as her fiance.
Amanda Bynes has been lined up to play the couple's daughter in the revival.
-Now I have to admit I am a little excited to see this.. which is odd becuzz usually im disappointed when they attempt to recreate a classic that should never have been touched in the first place.. hello? TPS-High Society; The Women-Crapola; LOL those movies have been showing up a lot around here huh.. but needless to say I kinda cant wait for this to premire; maybe cuzz its Broadway I feel differently about it? haha imagine Kathy Houghton sittin there all into it when she goes to see it? (my imagination runs off sometimes)
but now Richie Gere might not come to dinner..
