Adam Pascal Answers Your Questions

Rae: Are you really filming in Santa Fe?

Adam: Yes we went to Santa Fe for several days at the end of the shoot. It was a spectacular location, and a perfect way to end the shoot.

Jose: From the standpoint of someone who has lived the "Rent" experience, what are your thoughts on some of the nuances and changes that have been made, both artistically and visually (i.e. the new "long haired" look for Roger, showing instead of implying the riot, etc.)? Do you feel as if this is something that, if he were here to helm the project, Jonathan would have chosen to update and incorporate?

Adam: I don't think anyone knows what Jonathan would or would not have done. We can only proceed with the purest intentions, and stay as true to what the essence of Rent is. What the essence of Rent is not though, is the length of Roger's hair, or changing one location to another. Those are incidentals that get adjusted to fit the medium in which the story of Rent is being told. Just to put it in perspective, Roger's blond hair in the show was only that way because that was my hair when I got the job. I would say that is true for most of the original cast.

Jonathan never had a physical image of these characters that we were trying to match... we became the physical image. For the film, Chris Columbus and I felt that Roger should look a bit more "earthy"... less "cartoony." More Bruce Springsteen, less Johnny Rotten.

Marlen: What was the toughest scene to film? What was the most surprising moment?

Adam: The toughest scene to film surprisingly was "I Should Tell You," because of the technical pain in the ass, of trying to get the fake snow to look real and consistent. But I must say that our FX team was top of their game, and in the end it was well worth it.

Meg: Are you recording the songs again, or will you be singing to the album already recorded?

Adam: The entire score has been re-recorded for the film by Rob Cavallo, Grammy winning producer, most recently for best rock producer 2005, Green Day. It is a big loud rock record...as it should be!

A Huge Blessing by Adam Pascal (Roger)

Hello all, sorry it's taken so long for me to post. It has been an incredible experience making a movie with my family here on location. It leaves very little free time. I want to tell everyone that is concerned with the film staying true to the play that I don't think Chris Columbus could have done more to preserve it. As I write to you, I'm flanked by Nan and Julie Larson, Jonathan's mother and sister. They, as well as Al, Jonathan's father, have been here every step of the way, offering overwhelming support and encouragement. Back in the days of the original production, I couldn't help but speculate, if Rent gets made into a movie, what will it be like...what will it look like... I'm sure all of you have thought the same thing many times.

Well, speaking from a biased point of view, it looks better than I ever imagined it could. It's amazing how cinematic this story is, and how it translates seamlessly to the screen. It is a true, honest translation of the show, but heightened to the nth degree! It's a huge blessing to be able to, almost 10 years later, come back and revisit this story, this character and this music, being the man I have become and not the boy that I was. I know over the years there have been many actors playing all these roles, and you all have your favorites. But I know you will be happy with the cast that has been assembled. We come to this with all the sensitivity, love, humor and respect that it deserves.

I'll be back to write more; I just wanted to make my presence known here on the blog site. I'll try and come up with some stuff to tell you that you have not heard from any other cast members.

So get ready for the amazing experience of Rent on screen!!

Much love
Adam Pascal
