Well, at least I have something to do first thing in the morning on Feb. 21st!

I will most likely cancel my plans for the day (I teach) and devote the day to watching the movie and all of it's special features!

I am beyond excited.

Anthony's book signing. The dvd. And I'm going to NYC to see Rent on B-way in the spring.

Happy college graduation to me!

Posted by: Jamie on 01/11/06 at 05:58 PM

I MISS YOU GUYS!

*orders widescreen*

P.S. Happy Third Anniversary, Taye & Idina!! <3

Posted by: Johanna on 01/11/06 at 06:00 PM

HUZZAH! You know, with the smaller shot, the cover art doesn't look too shabby. Heck, anything looks like a masterpiece next to the other best movie of the year that got the crappiest artwork ever (Serenity. Poor, Serenity.)

Will be picking up two copies. Comes out just a couple days before my sister's birthday. :)

Posted by: Gina on 01/11/06 at 06:01 PM

I. Just. RENT. movie. out. tonight. i mean, later. but... ::dies::

thank you to any and every single person who was a part of this. i'm sure you do, but you'll never understand how much i... just. thank you. <3

Posted by: Shana on 01/11/06 at 06:08 PM

Hehehe. It's released before Australia gets it. YAY. :)

Posted by: kathy on 01/11/06 at 06:10 PM

Can't wait, guys. I know you're probably not so happy that it's out so soon, but believe me, the RENTheads will be out to support it just like we all did in theatres.

Thanks again for such a fantastic movie. I enjoyed it a lot but sadly only saw it twice...can't wait to have it to watch all the time!

P.S. Happy three years, Taye and Idina!

Posted by: Jennie on 01/11/06 at 06:12 PM

Ahh! It won't let me preorder because I don't have cookies or something (I'm kind of computer challenged...)! NOT FAIR!

So I guess the next time I'm on a cookie-filled computer...because I MUST have it...

Love to all

~Serena~

Posted by: Serena on 01/11/06 at 06:16 PM

Im so excited! I cant wait!! :D

Posted by: Christie on 01/11/06 at 06:21 PM

::spazzflail::

Sooo, what's on the extras? Huh? Huh? Special blog post all about it? You know you want to, Tracie, Rosario, everyone with spare time (which probably includes not may of you).

And beautiful anniversary wishes to Taye and Idina. You're both so lovely. :)

Posted by: Shae on 01/11/06 at 07:41 PM

Hurrah it's out 3 days after my audition for college. It'll be a nice little present to my self :)

Posted by: Janelle on 01/11/06 at 07:54 PM

I'm am so excited about this DVD! I cannot wait to see it! Does anyone know if there is a DVD available to purchase of the stage show starring the origianl cast?

Posted by: Shannon on 01/11/06 at 07:56 PM

Wow, the cover is amazing:) I'm so pumped that it will be released so soon! I was expecting it to be months and months before it was released. The movie is phenominal and the entire cast was just incredible. Rosario Dawson and Tracie Thoms fit right in and they worked so awesome with the original cast. Having been listening to RENT for almost 8 years now, I still never tire from the music or the emotion. I think the film really captured everything the live show does and Christopher Columbus, congratulations, you did a phenominal job directing it. You stuck so much to the original libretto and that was amazing. I don't think it could have been better if Jonathon Larson himself was directing it.

Posted by: Stephanie on 01/11/06 at 08:01 PM

I freaked when I saw this! I'm sooooo excited for the DVD to come out...I just preordered my copy today! <3

Posted by: Karen on 01/11/06 at 08:07 PM

OMGGGGGGGGG!!!! This is going on my iPod as soon as I get it! Geeze, Im so excited. Are Halloween and Goodbye Love on dvd???? Im so excited.

Posted by: Kimmy on 01/11/06 at 08:25 PM

THANK YOU FOR THE EXTRAS.

I was worried Sony would opt to go with a barebones release and then go with a special edition release later down the line. But, the extras listed on amazon.com appear to be quite complete.

I am especially excited for the docs (and of course the deleted scenes, but that goes without saying).

Posted by: colleen_lee on 01/11/06 at 08:31 PM

yeyy!! ...and another countdown begins :)

Posted by: Jenn on 01/11/06 at 09:07 PM

THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!

Posted by: Sydney on 01/11/06 at 09:10 PM

this is exciting. i'd run around my computer in ecstatic circles, but, alas, my comp sits against a wall. with that said, i'll sit patiently. but i can't flippin wait.

Posted by: nessa on 01/11/06 at 09:37 PM

I'm very glad that they announced such a quick release. The features look excellent, but I would definetly urge Chris to do a commentary track, as well as one with the cast. We need that.

Posted by: Christian on 01/11/06 at 10:03 PM

February 21st will be a good day indeed...not only is it the date of the DVD release, but it's also the date of Anthony's book signing in NYC! :)

Posted by: Holly on 01/11/06 at 10:20 PM

"*hugs Rentblog* It's been far too long. :D"

^ I second that! I was so happy when i randomly checked and saw a new blog!

YESSS! SO excited!!! I love the new cover too... but Mark and Benny look sorta odd standing there off by themselves lol.

well anyway I can't wait! = D

Posted by: Sylvia on 01/11/06 at 10:46 PM

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!! So excited!! I can't waaaaait! How do you know if you want widescreen or fullscreen?? :-P

Posted by: Kaya on 01/12/06 at 01:05 AM

Posted by: lilane on 01/12/06 at 03:40 AM

MUAAAAA I was waiting for this moment!!!!!! Love ya all!!!!! I also LOVE the cover! it's awesome!!!

Posted by: Yukino on 01/12/06 at 04:41 AM

Like we didn't already know that, haha. But thanks for making it official! I'm so pumped for it to come out, and the fact that it gets 2-disc treatment? I mean, wow.... I'm soooo darn excited for the special features! Thanks a lot and mucho amor!
~Megan

Posted by: Megan on 01/12/06 at 05:44 AM

OMG...that cover is so amazing. I am so excited for this DVD. Thank you so much for making this amazing movie and for bring this amazing story to everyone. Thank you Idina, Tracie, Taye, Anthony, Rosario, Jesse, Wilson, and Adam for making this movie and staying totally true to the characters.

Me and some in my school are producing Rent right now, we have a famus director; Jhony Worthy (I don´t know the spelling) We will have our first preformence 3 feb!

I´m playing Gordon!

Posted by: David on 01/12/06 at 05:53 AM

i'm having the best week ever. Seeing RENT (show) for my fourth time this year on the 24th (also my birthday), and then Anthony's book signing on the 21st of february (sooooo excited to meet you anthony!), and then DVD release... the extras sound amazing, thanks so much. You all are just... the best. I'm actually realizing that this might be the last last blog. I love you all so much for doing this for us. Thank you.

Posted by: Melanie on 01/12/06 at 05:59 AM

I can't wait...i have been waiting for this movie for a long time... it made my day!!!!!!!

Posted by: Blaine on 01/12/06 at 06:35 AM

OMG i love rent soo much (especially Adam ;) ) im counting down the days till i can buy this!
Adam~ will you ligh my candle?

Posted by: Celia on 01/12/06 at 07:29 AM

YAY!!! How great is that!? How dorky am I for pre-ordering one with the full intention of buying another one the day it comes out anyway? The way I see it is, I can never have too much RENT.

Sidebar: My roomate and I are taking the train an hour away on Saturday so that we can see RENT in a theatre in some random town. That's what we've been reduced to... But not for long!

Posted by: Morgan on 01/12/06 at 08:15 AM

*runs to preorder*

I don't think anyone can seriously understand how much this made my day in the middle of exam week at my school. This is amazing.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Karen on 01/12/06 at 09:11 AM

Only 40 days! ; )


the extras better be damn good!...not that the movie itself isnt enough, but ya knoww, what am i gonna do after watching it 1000 times? yeahh goodbye love & halloween are on it, thats exciting

Posted by: Merra on 01/12/06 at 09:20 AM

Wow! Thank Goodness!! I would have hated to have to do something illegal!!!!!!!!!! haha....
Cannot wait....

Posted by: Kristin on 01/12/06 at 09:41 AM

Wow! This is really exciting! I can't wait! This looks great, so congrats to whoever did the artwork and to the entire cast.
Also, Idina and Taye, Happy belated Anniversary!!!!! I Hope it was all you wanted it to be!
Sincerely,
Sarah

Posted by: Sarah on 01/12/06 at 09:42 AM

OMG. I'm Hyperventilating. I'll be dead fdrom excitement before this comes out. Thank you soooooo much. The cover is beautiful. I love Collins and Angel. My life is so great. This movie is amazing and special features are gonna be off the hook. This is Zuri signing off and going to class. lol.

-zuri

Posted by: Zuri on 01/12/06 at 10:39 AM

Widescreen or fullscreen? That's a tough one. I might just have to get both.

The cover looks amazing. Can't wait to get the movie. I've been going through a Rent/Adam Pascal withdrawl.

Posted by: Sara Corkum on 01/12/06 at 10:48 AM

CHEERS!! It's SO nice to come here and find a blog - it's like the old days! =) =) Is it sad that I still check here most days? Maybe, but I likes it. =P

The DVD cover looks beauuutiful...I'm most definitely going to be at the store the 21, *crosses fingers* hopefully I won't have anything in the way...I'm uber uber excited for it and I can't wait to relive the wonderfulness that is RENT.

Much love,
~Alex

Posted by: Alex on 01/12/06 at 11:23 AM

Wow its been to long since I've seen RENT when the quality is so bad.. yes I got a bootleg that was terrible. But I think I'll get two copies of the dvd. One wide screen and one full screen. I just started watching law and order because of Jesse. I LOVE LOVE LOVE ADAM and Idina is the most georgeous human in the universe and undisputidly the most talented! I love the whole cast and I hope you are still reading the comments. Counting down the moments.

Posted by: Kalyna on 01/12/06 at 01:56 PM

I have been checking this site daily in anticipation of the DVD release. I also watch the trailer and movie clips. The trailer is so right, RENT defined a generation. It came onto stage my senior year in high school and it put all of those issues out in the open. And here we are 10 years later and it all is still relevant issues for today. RENT has been apart of my life for 10 years and now I bore my husband to death by listening to the soundtrack over and over again. All I can say is thank you to the magnificent cast for recreating this movie to continue defining generations of the future!

Posted by: Shannon on 01/12/06 at 02:03 PM

I'm gonna get as soon as I can!!!!! I can't wait! Me and my friends are gonna have a RENT part-ay! HOOT HOOT! I LOVE YOU ALL! *Mwah!* No day but today!
~Peace!

Posted by: Alyssa on 01/12/06 at 02:12 PM

I just want to say congratulations and thank you to the entire cast of Rent. When I saw this play for the first time, I was a senior in high school and it completely changed my entire outlook on life,friendships,love and family. All I have to say is that i thought when Chris Columbus directed Harry Potter that it was incredbile but when i saw this film it completely blew me away.
So in closing I will be first in line to buy the DVD when it hits stores on Feb.21st. and from Chris Columbus to the behind the scenes crew to Taye,Rosario,Jesse,Tracie,Wilson,Adam,Anthony,and Idina,Thank you for the memories,Thank you for the experience,and Johnathon Larson, Thank you for RENT!! GOD BLESS YOU!!

I'm mostly excited for the chance to watch "RENT" as many times as I want as often as I want...YIPEE! Let's hope the extra features are full of fun stuff...do us proud Sony/Columbus! ;)

Posted by: Justin on 01/12/06 at 02:32 PM

My roomate and I are planning a RENT-Day Feast to have in our apartment on Feb 21st wherein we watch RENT over and over and consume only those foods referenced in RENT. Anyone in the Chicagoland area want to come?

This is great for you guys in the States - but what about us poor English - there's nothing on the website about when the films coming here - Does ANYONE know anything?

Posted by: Natalie on 01/13/06 at 10:03 AM

Guess what I just did? I pre-ordered the dvd, and it will arrive here about a month (maybe more) before it even gets released in theaters here in France... I'm so happy!

No day but today...

Posted by: Anne-Inger on 01/13/06 at 10:09 AM

Ok - I found it - April 7th - that's too long - next thing I need to know is where and when the premiere is, if there's going to be there - any help would be appreciated!!

Dear Rent Cast,

I absoutley loved this film!!!! I am so excited for this movie to come out. When it was in theaters I must have seen it about 5 of 6 times. I loved everything about it. You all did such a wonderful job. I recently went to NYC for new year's eve with my family and everything I did in the city reminded me of this film. I would see posters every where, and I would take pictures of them. I even acted out the Santa Fe song while I was on the subway...yea I got a few weird looks for that one, but I didn't care. I felt like I was there with you guys. While I was in the city I had heard that Taye Diggs was supposed to be in town and I was right on the corner of 44th street in Times Square on new years eve and I stood ther for 13 hours straight hopping to get a glimpse of the Rent star. Although I didn't I still had the time of my life. I'm planning to go again next year for the new years event , because I just love the city, and I'm not sure how the musicals are scheduled up there but I'm trying to get my parents to get some Rent tickets so we can see it on stage. I'm so excited for the film to come out to purchase and I just wanted to say that I absoutley LOVED this film. I loved everything about it. There wasn't one thing I didn't like. The music was my favorite thing about it though. I already bought the soundtrack and learned all the words!!! Anyway I just wanted to congradulate you all on such a wonderful job, and I wish you all the best in whatever comes in the future. God Bless,Love Allie (from Illnois)

Posted by: Allie on 01/13/06 at 02:42 PM

Omg cant wait! I've been waiting for this since the day the movie came out. Awesome!!!Thanks again guys for such a wonderful movie. You guys are great!!!

NO DAY BUT TODAY!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited about the movie coming to DVD. I understand that a belated Happy Anniversary to Taye and Idina is in order, and I'm wondering if anyone out there in computer land knows if we're getting a gag reel. Not that I like to see actors and actresses mess up and all, but it makes them more human to me. Anyway, it's a GREAT movie, and I can't wait to buy it the day it comes out. Thank you too all of you who were and still are so dedicated to this movie! You did an amazing job!

Love,
Alexandra

YES!! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! (My 22nd birthday was the 10th!!)

Posted by: Mandy on 01/14/06 at 09:17 PM

I've never seen RENT on stage. I'd heard few of the songs and had little idea as to what it was about. When I went into the movie a little over a month ago, I had no expectations. I had no idea that seeing the film would be one of the most exhilarating experiences I'd ever had in a theatre. I've always considered myself to be a pretty serious film aficionado, with very discriminating taste and the cynical viewpoint much of the time (in other words, a total snob). But something about this film - could've been the passion, the sincerity of it all - just made me melt. That's right, melt. I could blubber for hours on what made all the emotion just right, all the characters pitch-perfect, and on and on and on. Some things I just can't find words for. /

Since then, I've listened to the soundtrack on a nonstop loop, but circumstances kept me from seeing the film again - by the time I could, it had disappeared from the theatres in my town. (Which sucks, by the way). So of course I must pre order the DVD immediately. (It actually comes out two days before my birthday, but I'm not sure I can wait that long). Anyway, to everyone involved in the film, you have created something AMAZING that I, for one, will always hold dear. I don't know what else to do except to THANK you so much for the incredible experience that is this film.

Posted by: Hallie on 01/15/06 at 12:43 AM

thank you god!!!! i never got to see the movie cuz of my busy schedule and i had two break downs because i didnt see it (honest to god) and know i dont have to be sad cuz i am going to see it really soon!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
thank you soooo much for putting itout soon you guys riock!!!!! I LOVE YOU ANTHONY!!!!

Posted by: stephanie on 01/15/06 at 09:16 AM

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the cover! I can't wait untill february 21! I'm gonna have to have my mom buy it for me the day it comes out cuz I have musical rehersal till 10 that night, then I'm gonna come ome and watch it over and over again! I only got to see the movie twice in theaters and now I'll be able to watch it whenever I want. Can't wait!
Luv you all,
<3 Kelsey

Posted by: Cate on 01/15/06 at 06:08 PM

I saw Rent on stage, and the movie 4 or 5 times in theaters, Including the first night it was out.
Thats a big thing considering i've never seen a movie more then once in theaters before this.
I have all the music on my computer, from both the movie and the OBC. Ive listened to it all on repeat for a few months now.
These days, when I watch other movies I say "Wait a minute.. Where are the songs?"
Because i'm so used to seeing Rent.

Idina, I saw you in Wicked as well. Amazing.
Anthony, I am absolutely in love with you.

I am really excited this movie is coming out on DVD so quickly! I'm really dissapointed that the movie wasn't a huge success in theaters but, hey, people don't know what they're missing. I for one plan to see it a few more times in theatres before the DVD comes out, though I can't wait to see the behind the scenes footage and Goodbye Love... Luv u guys!

I only got to see RENT once in theaters (funny how life consumes your life, eh?). And ever since then, I have been playing it over and over and over in my mind. So, needless to say, I am highly anticipating the DVD!
As amazing as RENT (and all of JL's work) is, lately I have been so moved by the story of Jonathan's death. By how the cast and crew of the original show honored his life by carrying on. I know alot of people have spent time being concerned about holding up the integrity of the work, but I feel like... ya know, he left it for them. He trusted them to carry this the rest of the way, and they have done an amazing job of honoring his life in doing so.
I can only hope and pray that whatever I choose to do with my life will be so honored and respected by my friends and family that they will carry it on.
Peace, Hope, Faith, Love. No day but today.

This is awesome!!!! I have already preordered. I am already having "Rent" withdrawals. I was lucky to see it again 1/15/06 (for the 10th time) an hour and a half from home. Couldn't believe I found it somewhere in the theaters. Can't wait to see it on my bigscreen in my own home. It looked like the previews had some scenes that were deleted. Can't wait to see it again and again!!!
No day but Today but 2/21/05 will be a day We Rentheads all will hold our breath for:)

Posted by: Cindy on 01/17/06 at 04:16 PM

I was sooooooo excited to see that it is coming out soon because i would not have been able to weight much longer. I've lost count of how many times i have see it and last sunday i saw it at the nederlander!!!!!!!! it is such a magical experience -but in the theatre i cant press rewind and watch it all over like i will be able to do a million times when i own it!
I could barely breathe when i saw a new update since i still look at the page. i was excpecting to not see anything new.. but there it was! it was so beautiful.
i want to thank all the cast and crew again even though they probebly dont read these anymore.

Thank you guys! I know you hear this all the time, but you are my inspiration. And I really want to thank you for that.

Posted by: Daniel on 01/18/06 at 05:06 PM

OMG! I can't wait! I am a huge fan and I really can't wait to get the movie on DVD! I saw it in theaters three times! After seeing the movie and loving it I saw it on broadway! It was amazing! 2 weeks later I saw it again and loved it even more! I am an actress in NYC and my dream is to play Mimi on broadway! I LOVE the whole cast! I hope I get to meet you someday (another one of my dreams)!

Thank you everyone who had anything to do with this movie!

Posted by: Susan on 01/19/06 at 11:48 AM

HOW EXCITING!!! My town's theatres dropped the show about a month after it had been out! :-( (I live in a VERY conservative town) and I can't wait to get the DVD so I can see it again and again!!

Posted by: Ciera on 01/19/06 at 02:38 PM

This is in response to Frustrated in UK on 01/19/06 at 09:46 AM. I'm very sorry that you have to wait for 3 more months to see the movie. I was in London when the movie came out in the United States and I realize that 3 months is longer than 10 days, but I had been waiting since July to see the movie. So I can kinda sympathize with you. Very sorry! Luv you all.

Posted by: Kelsey on 01/19/06 at 08:09 PM

One DVD for my DVD player and one UMD for my PSP so that I can watch it on my way to Guatemala for my missions trip. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE! Rent has been my favorite musical since 2000 and now I can watch it whenever I want! That and the new soundtrack have made my RENT life complete... well actually I'd love to see the show on broadway... any help w/ that? I live in Iowa and I need to get to NY... preferrably free. HA! Anyway, great job cast, old and new members!
NO DAY BUT TODAY!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited. While the movie was in theaters near my house I saw it atleast once a week, and now that it is no longer in theaters I have been going crazy! I listen to the cd constantly, it is the only thing that I play. Once this movie comes out it will be the only thing that I watch. Especially with all the wonderful extras they are putting on it. OMG I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Meg O on 01/20/06 at 07:09 AM

I am a 45 year old mother of two teenage daughters, (who seem to be your biggest fan base), and I am here to report that last night I think we went to the very last existing showing of the movie in the country. Thank you, Richmond VA, for keeping it around this long! I keep telling my girls that addiction is a terrible thing, but I am not setting a very good example here because I saw the movie 5 times!!!!
Good luck on 1/31 with the Oscar nominations but even if you get ignored you will always be first in our hearts!!!

Posted by: Kristin on 01/20/06 at 11:35 AM

Yay!! I wondered when it would be out on video. That was fast! RAAAAWRRR Adam!!

Posted by: Kelsey on 01/21/06 at 12:02 PM

As of yesterday, RENT has left our theater. So I'm glad I only have to wait four weeks to buy the DVD. I've got a 24 hour movie store in town, so I'm gonna get it at midnight. Thanks so much for bringing this amazing story to a film format. It allowed me to experience it, when I probably wouldn't have been able to before. Thank you!

Posted by: Elisabeth on 01/21/06 at 02:42 PM

RENT has changed my choices for the future (in a good way). I love love love it so so so much. I will be counting down the days till Feb. 21 . If anyone from the cast gets to see this I just want to say that you are all SO amazing and did a great job. God bless and stay safe. Oh and good luck with your future.

Posted by: Ciara O. on 01/21/06 at 06:03 PM

It's sad that the DVD comes out two days BEFORE the movie premieres in Iceland... Well, c'est la vie... Cant wait to see the movie...

Will there be a signing? Coz I didn't even get my cd signed, its so unfair. Thats so exciting at last I get to join in the hype first hand!

Oh man, what a good couple of months we got coming. Anthony's book in February, See What I Wanna See in March, Law and Orders, and Taye has a recurring role on Will and Grace (the best show)!!! Wahoo! I just wanted to say to everyone that I really appreciate everything you have done for us. The movie was amazing. I went 4 times, and brought some RENT virgins. Now they are as obsessed as me. Thanks for giving this to us!! Everyone was so good in the movie! I wish you luck in the rest of your endeavors!

Love a huge RENThead,
Jenny

Posted by: Jenny on 01/23/06 at 03:12 PM

On one hand I'm happy it's being released on DVD so soon. On the other, I'm really dissapointed it didn't last longer in theaters; it takes on a different sort of magic there. Maybe they'll start a weekly Rocky Horror Picturesque cult inspired midnight showing in The Village. That would be awesome.

Posted by: Nat on 01/23/06 at 04:34 PM

Glory halleluhia, let the angels sing!!!!! God bless Chris, Adam, Anthony, Jesse, Wilson, Taye, Idina, Tracie, and Rosario. Every little bit of passion oozes out of your pores, and it just makes our souls vibrate. Thank you for this gift. RENT will live on in the hearts of millions of rentheads worldwide for years to come. Oh yes, and thank you Jonathon Larson. Even in death, your message lives strong. There's no day but today, so let's live it...starting with getting the dvd. ;-) Goodluck all of you, and may the peace of God be with you all. Godspeed Rentheads.

Posted by: Lisa on 01/23/06 at 06:50 PM

I have to agree with Nat, I would have liked to see it in theaters longer. But I am very happy that I don't have to wait long to have my own copy of it. Not only that, but I am very excited to finally see all of the pre-tango scene. Unfortunitly the film caught fire during one of the first showings and when I saw it, it had just been repaired. So I got to see Mark realising he just met Joanne, and then it skipped forward to "test one, two, three". I know it's only a few lines, but it's been driving me nuts, so I am thrilled to finally get to see those few lines. Thanks again!

Posted by: Elisabeth on 01/23/06 at 08:26 PM

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!I SAW THE MOVIE IN THEATERS AND IT WAS SOOOO GOOD!! OMG WHEN THEY SANG SEASONS OF LOVE I GOT GOOSEBUMPS!! THEY ARE ALL AMAZING ACTORS AND SINGERS!! I CANT FRIGGIN WAIT!!! I LOVE THE MOVIE AND I LISTEN TO SOUNDTRACK ALL THE TIME!! MY NEW MOTTO IS NO DAY BUT TODAY!! CANT WAITTTT FOR THE MOVIE!!!!

LOVE TO ALL!!

Posted by: alex on 01/24/06 at 10:46 AM

I'm counting down the days until Feb. 21st!!! My sister-in-law was just asking me about what kind of movie "RENT" is. I told her it was a musical, drama, romantic, comedy, tragedy, action, inspirational all-in-one kind of movie. Basically, it's LIFE! Now she and my brother are waiting for my wife and I to buy the DVD so that they can come over and watch it with us on our big screen TV! Once they see it, I just know the RENTheads will grow by two more (maybe three; they're expecting their first child in September). Belated Happy Anniversary to Taye and Idina and Happy Birthday to Jesse!!!

Posted by: Allison on 01/26/06 at 06:53 PM

I sympathise with the English fans impatience - here in Australia we are also still waiting for the movie - supposed to be opening 2nd of March, so I am counting the days, too. In the meantime, I can now order the DVD and keep playing the soundtrack. Congratulations to everyone involved in the movie - I know it was a real labour of love Ann

I loved this movie. Everything about this show was wonderful. I will have to admit my favorite star in it is Idina. She is fantastic. I got to see her in Wicked. Everyone did a great job.

I can't wait to get this DVD. It was so great to see most of the orgional cast return.

Thank you so much! I have been dreaming about this day but still 21 more days to go... each day is killing me and time seems to go by slowly! Are you guys gonna buy it? My friends and I are going to have a Rent party, if you guys want to come it's at Valley Stream! You'll see some crazy teenagers on the street dancing to 'Out Tonight' and 'Today For You'. <---- I'm not joking =P

You guys, the Rent Widescreen DVD is ranked NUMBER THREE today among Amazon.com's top preorders!! Even the Fullscreen version is on there at #18! If any of the cast still reads this, YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD!!

I am so outrageously excited! I went and saw "Rent" four times in theatres!!! It has lighten up my life and now a bunch of my friends are Rent-heads-in-training! It was positively amazing when I was in the theatre and looked back at the audience behind me. There were long-time fans singing along to the music, shushing their friends when their favorite song came on, and crying at the film's touching moments, even though they knew full well what was going to happen. You could also see people who had been drawn in by the film's advertisements and had already fallen in love with "Seasons of Love" from the commercials alone. I glanced back and could see them being touched by this insanely awesome story for the first time and becoming addicted to it's spectacular music! Everyone who worked on this film should be SO VERY proud of themselves. As soon as it comes out on DVD I'll be watching it with all of my friends who didn't come to the theatre with me, and I intend on watching it at least 4 more times within the first 2 weeks that I get it! Every aspect of the movie was fantastic! I hope everyone who worked on "Rent" fully realizes how much it has meant to so many people! I'm definitely going to give this DVD a place of honor in my family room as soon as I buy it!
Seize the Day and Love to You All,

I Love RENT and everyone thinks that i am obsessed with rent i would agree cause i love it that i can watch rent the play every day and i can sit and watch the movie evryday as well. Rent is also my life. (After my family that is)If you didn't see the play or movie yet i recommend you see both. I loved both so much and i cant wait to see the movie on dvd. I will never get sick of rent. I cant wait till it comes out on dvd tomorrow. I am hoping to get it and watch it everyday.!!! Im soooooo EXCITED!!!!

Posted by: Kayla on 02/20/06 at 01:46 PM

OMGOMGOMG. all i can manage to say is OMG. i have seriously been waiting for this since the DAY i saw it in theatres (okay...i saw it 6 times in theatres. but STILL!). when my 2 best friends told me "oh yeah, rent comes out on the 21st," i screamed "WHAT?!?!" in a high, loud, and squaky voice. it was almost inhuman, it was so ridiculous. and it was in my high school's cafeteria, too. but bottom line, i am SO freaking excited for this movie too come out. because this movie has helped me not be ashamed of me as a person or who i am, and ive learned to live life- each moment. because theres NO DAY BUT TODAY! love to all

Oh my God as of 8:40 this morning i am the proud owner of the RENT DVD! It is so great! Right now i am sitting in my school library and dodging the librarian. I just got finished crying over the Goodbye Love deleted scene. It is so sad. For all those who don't have it yet, hurry up. You must see it!

Posted by: Janai on 02/21/06 at 10:07 AM

Just bought the dvd today...had seen it 3 times in theatre and have listened to the cd constantly since then. I have no idea what it is about this movie that has affected me so much...I even wake up dreaming about it with the songs in my head. I love Angels' outlook and generosity in life and the love that all these very different people share. I know it's only a movie but I feel like I know all of the characters...and their lives have touched me.
Thank you to all involved.
