10:10 AM PDT, June 26, 2019tells the story of a group of gay men gathered at a mutual friend's apartment for his birthday celebration. Over the course of the evening, as the drinks continue to pour, faults in the men’s relationships are exposed and friendships are tested. Premiering Off-Broadway in 1968 -- a year before the Stonewall riots -- the play was considered groundbreaking at the time for putting gay men’s lives onstage.
In 2018, 50 years after the show debuted, Ryan Murphy brought Crowley’s play back to the stage -- this time on Broadway. The celebrated run, which earned a, starred Andrew Rannells, Brian Hutchison, Charlie Carver, Jim Parsons, Matt Bomer, Michael Benjamin Washington, Robin De Jesus, Tuc Watkins and Zachary Quinto -- the first time in the show’s history that the ensemble consisted entirely of openly gay actors.
Now, the cast is reuniting for a Netflix film executive produced by Murphy and directed by Joe Mantello. While catching up at the “Variety and Mercedes-Benz Power of Pride” event on Monday, Parsons, who just finished his Emmy-winning run as, revealed to ET that they are set to start filming in two weeks. “That’ll be an interesting thing to go back into that,” he said, adding it might even “be a little trippy.
Going from the stage to a film set in front of the camera, Parsons said “it’ll be even quieter and more intimate than we are right now. [But] that's one of the most exciting aspects of it. The chance to do this -- this material that we know so well and we worked on so long -- to get to do it in a different way. To do it in a more intimate way... the core story will all stay the same but it will be a different beast by the time we’re done with it.
The play should just have been filmed. The remake sounds like a yawn.
“Significant” because he’s getting paid. No one really needed a remake.
