HBO will premiere “Revolution Rent,” the 2019 documentary following Andy Señor Jr.’s journey to stage a production of “Rent” in Cuba, on June 15.
Señor Jr., who directed the documentary alongside Victor Patrick Alvarez, started his career with “Rent.” In the late 1990s he starred as Angel Dumott Schunard in Jonathan Larson’s Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway musical about a group of starving artists in the East Village who are dealing with big dreams, drug addiction and the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Now, things are coming full circle 25 years after the show made its Broadway debut. In the documentary, Señor Jr. takes the show from auditions through closing night, highlighting both the “setbacks and accomplishments” of being Cuba’s first Broadway musical produced by an American company in more than 50 years. Señor Jr.’s story is also a personal one, as he explores his Cuban heritage and family’s relationship to the country within this project.

Director Bryan Singer recently took to Twitter to answer several fan questions about his upcoming film X-Men: Days of Future Past. He doesn't really go into any crazy detail on anything, but tomorrow the first trailer comes out, and from what I've seen of the movie, I imagine it's going to blow fans away. The trailer will be released at 6am tomorrow morning so stay turned!
Here is the Q&A fan session:
"Can you give us another hint at what we might see in the full trailer tomorrow?” --from Neil Sutton on Facebook
Bryan Singer: Tomorrow's trailer is primarily a character piece, as most of our VFX are not yet finished.
Fb fan Vlad Micu asks: “How was it to bring the cast of the original X-Men and the cast of X-Men First Class together in the same Movie?”
Singer: Awesome, and slightly intimidating.
