‘Dear Evan Hansen’ Director on Ben Platt’s Return to the Role: “It Was Him or Nothing”

The film sees a collide of the Broadway creative team with a new Hollywood cast, which Platt said, “felt like a really fresh take on it but with the safety net of the writers and myself and [co-star] Colton [Ryan, an understudy on Broadway] knowing where it comes from.

BenSPLATT That point is only brought up in one song and forgotten about for the sake of Evan’s fuckup

BenSPLATT Right now, he just needs to hope people feel like seeing the movie. Yikes.

BenSPLATT I'd rather watch goats having sex.

BenSPLATT The message of this musical is kinda problematic. His character uses someone's suicide as an opportunity to get a girl to like him.

And a very Happy Birthday to Ben! 💕🎂🎉BenSPLATT

Skyebright8 I walked out of the showing. It was just so awkward. Couldn’t handle the cringe. Are we sure Amy Adams is a good actress?

I wonder if young people would be able to better relate to the film though if it stared, you know, young people

Tom Holland is only like a couple years younger than Ben.

Hahaha he’s too old

Lmao he's being dragged by film twitter

They're just trolling now, right?

Keeping youth relations going, I see.

😂

Then why did he star in it

StephenChbosky BenSPLATT No director would throw his leading man under the bus. Besides, there are many months to go before his decision is seen as good or bad.

Also, nobody is talking about how there probably was a clause in his contract for originating the role on Broadway that entitled him first right to refuse the role in a film adaptation.

Cats 2.0

Because his dad produced

Based on the reviews and low tracking, probably should have been nothing

Why are the reviews on the film version not as good as the Broadway version?

Why Do People Hate the 'Dear Evan Hansen' Movie So Much?'Dear Evan Hansen': The Play earned tons of praise, won a half dozen Tonys and turned Ben Platt into a Broadway star. 'Dear Evan Hansen': The Movie has generated nothing but hate. What happened? It looks awful. He looks ridiculous. And I saw the show 3 times. Platt made a gross error taking this screen role. Indeed, someone else was capable of playing this role, and playing it believably. The world will never know. You know what.. I unapologetically loved the movie. It wasn’t as good as the Broadway show, but it was still really good. And nobody I watched it with gave a rat’s ass that Platt was 27. 20-30 year olds playing high schoolers is completely normal and common in tv and movies.
