It's the best!! I'm reading Treasure Island to my kids right now and when we're done... it's movie time! I can't wait to watch my daughter's face during the movie to see if she falls in love with him the way I did haha
Omg, thank you!!! I always felt like The Land of Far Away was a fever dream I had as a kid. No one else seemed to remember the movie haha. I loved it...used to rent it from a local video store in the 80s :)
Maybe not, there were multiple versions. There was an old copy sitting around here for a long time that had his name on it, but it was VHS so it's gone now.
Except Newsies is one of the best movies ever! It counts. Especially considering the triple threat requirements. He danced, he sang, he acted and he did it with an accent!
I just want to mention that i wanted to hate the new version but Jeremy Jordan is also so ridiculously talented that he's probably the only one who could have done the part justice.
I went to the Pride month concert for Rhode Island Gay Men's Chorus and they sang Seize The Day. You'd better believe I silently sang along to every fucking word!
On Disney + there is the newsies musical. Its okay, the only superior part is the female lead is actually a role, with a great song. Everything else is comparable but not better.
Tbf, they seriously tweaked the choreography to make it much easier on him. If you watch they shift the camera around quite a bit and give him less challenging movements
Do you mean this in the Gen Z slang way of, “bro, that’s fire”, or the literal “the amount of cinematography that was cinemagraphed exceeded all of my previous fire cinematography experience.”?
He also played Jim Hawkins in an TV movie adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island" with Christopher Lee as Blind Pew, Oliver Reed as Billy Bones, Julian Glover as Doctor Livesey, Pete Postlethwaite as George Merry and Charlton Heston as Long John Silver.
