BOMB MAKER?

After watching this Damn Yankees clip, you might be interested to know that a new film version of this musical is being produced.  It seems that Todd Graff (never heard of him) writer and director Bandslam (never heard of it) feels he can do a better remake than the original. He's changing the story dramatically, making the main theme about steroids, replacing the Washington Senators with the Chicago Cubs, removing most of the original songs and adding some new ones, and taking out all the Bob Fosse choreography,(you know that boring dancing you saw in the previous post). The stars of this new version are Jim Carrey and Jake Gyllenhaal, (no mention of who plays Lola or has Todd in his arrogance removed her, too).  Having so many wonderful memories of this great show, I have no intention of seeing the "contemporary" new version. And frankly, I hope it strikes out.
