We've been fans of Broadway since the first time our dad brought home a cast recording of Walking Happy. We were hooked. We grew up on Fiddler on the Roof, Pippin, La Cage aux Folles, Oliver, Annie, Godspell, and the like.
So, while we still prefer a good-old fashioned musical, we're glad the New York stage and the Tony Awards have become more inclusive these days. It used to be Broadway was an exclusive club that only the Sondheim and Lloyd Weber inner circle could penetrate. But in recent years Hollywood stars have risen to prominence on the Great White Way and even rock and rollers have moved onto 42nd Street. And now, thanks to Glee, Broadway stars are TV household names.
While we still love the shows of yesterday, we're excited that by opening up the genre to more familiar faces, theater has gained new fans and bigger audiences.

For more than a decade 20th Century Fox has been trying to remake Fantastic Voyage. Back in the 1990s, when Independence Day made instant A-list creative talent of director Roland Emmerich and producer Dean Devlin the two began to shepherd the development of a remake. But the Emmerich/Devlin Fantastic Voyage never got further than the screenplay stage and fell into development hell.
And then three years ago Emmerich came back onboard the project, albeit for a brief sojourn; when 2012 started happening and became Emmerich's next go picture the director left the new Voyage behind once again. James Cameron was the next to express interest in the project as a producer and that's where things have remained until today.
Now it's Paul Greengrass, the director of the last two Bourne movies, United 93 and Green Zone, who's circling the new Fantastic Voyage. The English director remade his name as an...
