Above is a new picture of Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan onset for the upcoming movie-musical hybrid, The Last Five Years, which just started filming in Brooklyn, despite being postponed for about 30 minutes due to strong winds and rain.

Let’s be real though, their biggest threat in Brooklyn was roaming packs of wild hipsters.

The two here are most likely singing the number I Can Do Better Than That, which has the character couple of Jamie and Cathy, Jeremy and Anna respectively, going on a road trip from New York to Connecticut.

The Last Five Years, written by playwright and lyricist Jason Robert Brown, is a

It’s A Hard Knock Life, but Sandra Bullock playing Miss Hannigan could make it a whole lot better!!

As you'll recall, Will Smith and Jay-Z have teamed up to produce another version of the classic comic strip and musical, Annie.

Annie herself will be played by Oscar nominated Quvenzhane Wallis! And while Sandra was in talks with Sony to play Miss Hannigan earlier in the year, she initially passed on the role. However, talks have recently been revived!

We’re crossing our fingers that this time they find a way to pull through! We would LURVEE to see Sandra in this role!!

C’mon Sandy, give us what we want! LOLz!!

Check out some pics of past celebs who have filled the Miss Hannigan role!! (below)

Sara Bareilles may not write you a Love Song, but she WILL write you a Broadway score for a musical called Waitress! Especially if you ask nicely.

She’ll be writing the score for the movie-based musical about a — you’ll never guess — WAITRESS!!! Mind boggling, we know.

The musical is set in the deep south, and the aforementioned waitress is preggers, unhappily married, and finds herself in an unexpected relationship with the new guy in town. Sounds juicy!!

The musical will be directed by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus.

We bet fans won’t be disappointed!!!

Light as a feather, stiff as a board….

Nineties cult classic The Craft, starring Neve Campbell, Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, and Rachel True, is just the next movie to be turned into a stage musical. Will Skeet Ulrich be making a cameo??

The show, which has been in development for a year now is finally in its final stages and a reading is set to place in Illinois before it makes its way to New York. As for now, we only have these demos and the musical's main website to hold us over before we can cast any musical spells in the flesh!

NBC’s Smash wasn’t lucky enough to get picked up for a third season, but despite its cancellation, we’re sure the ending is going to be AH-mazing!

We reaaallyyyy hope this happens!

Chris Pine and Jake Gyllenhaal are in talks to join Disney’s adaptation of Into The Woods! What’s more, they’d be taking up their first singing roles as the musical’s charming princes! They’ve reportedly already auditioned with director Rob Marshall and are nearing deals!

While these two are practically royalty in our eyes, this would be AH-MAZING! Not to mention that they’d be joining the project alongside Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep!

For those of you who don't quite speak Broadway, Into The Woods puts its own twist on traditional fairy-tales. Think Once Upon A Time with Rapunzel, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and an evil witch in musical form!

HELLOOOO!!!! We're SO on board with this!
