High school Musical 3 : Success, or failure

While I realize that there are many devoted fans to this disney trilogy, I can't help but fantasize about this movies impending failure.
I mean, let's face it, most people over the age of ten are not going to request a ticket for "high school musical". That, plus the fact that most americans hate the kids from East High, will add to the failure of this movie.

* but, what if I'm wrong, and this movie is a commercial success?
Sure, there ae many dissappointed fans who felt isolated after the travesty that is High school Musical 2, but, maybe they were not isolated enough to not buy a ticket.

The bottom line is, ANYONE would watch High School musical if it was still on tv. First of all, it is free. Also, you are in the comfort of your own home, where no one KNOWS you are watching Disney. But, out in public, you would be torn apart for PAYING for said movie experience. But if the same amount of people who tuned in for the latest installment of the franchise (17 million) ALSO go see THIS installment, at approximately 8-12 dollars a ticket,
We are talking upwards of 170 million dollars, opening weekend (more that the dark knight)
While, I doubt this might happen, there is a chance that this movie COULD draw in a significant amount of cash, but not if america is too timid to request a ticket.

Hairspray 2: Good or Bad?

When I heard yesterday that a new Hairspray was in the works I jumped with joy, and then shat myself a little.
to be honest, I think a lot of fans WOULD be excited about a sequel to the 2007 hit movie, it's just that, it has the potential to be the next Grease 2, and NOBODY wants that.

*Remember though, John Waters IS writing it, and Adam Shankman is choregraphing. So, if nothing else,we have that to look forward to.

BUT

We do have one problem awaiting us avid hairspray watchers,
and NO, it is not just the fact that a huge fanbase could be devastated by the effects of a bad sequel.


Will they get the original casT?

Personally, I'm sure that Amanda and Queen Latifah will do it.
They seem like nice girls
Michelle, Brittany, Nikki, and Elijah will probably do it, because, I don't think they have many big projects coming up
Christopher Walken and James MArsden MIGHT do it, only because they just never seem to go away.
But the problem lies with Travolta and Efron

Zac, DOES have a history with making musical sequels, (I want to shove every copy of HSM 2 up his rectum)
BUt, he seems to be full of himself as of lately, and maybe, (fingers crossed) they will kill him off of hairspray (perhaps he died of over exposure to aerosol) But, he might not because of his "fame"
And I wouldn't blame travolta if he DiD'nt do it, because of the extensive make-up and crap like that, that he had to go through.


One thing is for certain, there IS going to be another Hairspray...
After all,
"You can't stop the Beat"
