Jesus christ superstar 1973 mp3 free download amazon u.s.

David looked at me like I was crazy. He really wanted us to be involved; we had lots of meetings with him, I liked him a lot. I sent a cable to Lew Wasserman and told him if he ever contemplated making a motion picture of Jesus Christ Superstar , I was his man.

But […] I had made enough of an impression on the major studios that Wasserman was pleased to hear from me. And so it began. I set about this with great enthusiasm and minimum concern for budget, certain that a massive Ben-Hur kind of treatment was essential.

Tens of thousands of extras would soon be thanking me for a boost to their incomes. After all, Superstar had not got where it had by excess subtlety or by its creators thinking small. Should the procession of camels enter from the left or right of the frame?

What was the best marching formation for the Roman legions? These were the only kinds of problem I faced, so that within two weeks of being asked, I had submitted my script. Certain that I would not be required to do anything more, I sat back to await the invitation to Israel to see my extravagantly brilliant ideas transferred to celluloid.

I was right in that I was not required to do anything more. We would open on an old Arab bus roaring across the Negev Desert, loaded down with props and costumes and, of course, our young cast of performers. The next question was one of casting.

Many Broadway actors and actresses had seen their roles go to Hollywood stars who, movie producers or studio magnates assumed, would guarantee stronger box office potential. Also on the docket at one point or another were David Cassidy then a newly-minted teen idol thanks to the success of The Partridge Family , later to actually essay the role in a stock production of JCS in a leaner time for many a Seventies celebrity known popularly as the Eighties , Alice Cooper, Micky Dolenz, and Bill Medley of The Righteous Brothers; he would have no trouble reaching all those A-above-high-C notes in the Jesus songs.

Norman had different ideas, initially intending to work largely with the cast of the concept album. For example, he had in mind Murray Head and Ian Gillan to reprise their roles. Gillan was willing to restructure the tour around shooting, but in return, he wanted his bandmates to be reimbursed for lost profits from the canceled concerts. Universal, no doubt merely looking to turn a thin dime from what they felt could be a passing fad, said no, and Gillan returned the gesture, perfectly content to make more money on the road with Deep Purple.

Jewison subsequently turned his attention to Broadway lead Jeff Fenholt, who ultimately got as far as a screen test before being passed over for the final choice. For the film, he also got as far as a screen test before being passed over for the final choice.

We flew out to meet with Norman Jewison, who was in his mids at the time. Neither of us got called back, obviously. Norman Jewison came out and picked the people he wanted from the show, like Ted [Neeley] , Carl [Anderson] , […] Bob Bingham [also a veteran of the original French company] , me, Larry Marshall […] — just from the Broadway show. Among those lining up for roles were many later screen stars and noteworthy names of the Broadway and West End stage; Timothy Bottoms and Christopher Walken were submitted for consideration for any part by their representation, and a grab-bag of Seventies and Eighties personalities including but not limited to Barry Bostwick, Northern Calloway, Irene Cara later to briefly play Mary in a U.

Two audition stories from the film stick out in publicity: one of an actor hired, the other of an actor passed on. Joshua Mostel, son of renowned comic actor Zero Mostel, was cast as King Herod as a result of a reading he did for Shurtleff during casting for Pippin.

Three years later he would cast young John Travolta for the lead in the film that would make him a star: Saturday Night Fever. When it came to Jesus and Judas, ultimately the hand of fate and past casting practices played a role. In the lead-up to the Broadway production, there had also been spirited discussions about casting the lead roles.

That summer, while attending casting and production meetings at Universal Studios, Jewison caught the L. A meeting was called. All this, mind you, with the understanding that it was just a formality. We were promised the screen by the producer, and Norman was just accommodating Mr. They played the Amphitheatre for less than two weeks, then left the show to go make the movie.
