I just watched the film version of RENT. First, let me say I've never seen the show, and the film was my first introduction to it. I loved it.
However - I watched the deleted scenes, and I feel that this could do with a small bit of editing.
Specifically, I think "Goodbye Love" should be reinstated in its entirety, and the original back-to-the-stage ending should be restored. I personally don't think "Halloween" is too necessary, but it's a good song, so if it was added back in, that would be nice as well.
I was just wondering if there's a "market" for this, so to speak, and if there is, if someone with know-how would be willing to give it a shot.
Another possible idea - though i doubt this is feasible - could be to reedit it completely as a rock opera with no dialogue, but the way the film is structured, this is probably impossible.
