Our fully unsubstantiated rumor for the sake of an attention-grabbing headline is: American Idol runner up Jessica Sanchez could be in the running for the Miss Saigon movie! What a talent!

She could be up against Charice and Anna Maria Perez de Tagle of Broadway’s Godspell.

You know who would be great in this movie? Osang.

The report/rumor:

From BroadwayWorld:

AMERICAN IDOL’s Jessica Sanchez is reportedly in the running for the upcoming MISS SAIGON film. Sanchez, 16, was the season 11 runner-up in the singing competition.

“If she’s the one that they’ve chosen, or she’s somebody in serious consideration, then that’s a good thing. We all know she’s talented, we all know she’s actually quite beautiful,” MISS SAIGON’s original “Kim,” Lea Salonga, said as reported by the Manila Bulletin today.

The film, which is still in the early stages of development, had previously announced Lee Daniels as director; no official release date has yet been set.

Vocal-talent-wise, shes Phenomenal! Don't forget her duet with Jennifer Holiday. Acting-wise, we don't know yet so are the other girls considered. For me, I'd love her to be in it. Would be awesome!!

age wise, the younger you are the more sellable as prostitute. in saigon and elsewhere perhaps, 16 is just the median age. beyond 20 you are already old.

She would hav been 18 by the time the movie is completed. still in planning stage.

@rickey really?!? Wow

Billy Tassoni

The runners up always seem to do better then the winners

Ariel Flores Aldana

IDK she will have a lot of pressure being compared to Tony winner and fellow Filipina The Devine One Lea Salonga!

Clarence Oddbody

She's a winner!!!

Dominique Mchayzuire Schwazee

They seriously need to stop trying to mold her into something she will never be. She's a goody-two shoes and if they move to fast shes gonna end up falling flat on her face

Arnold Punsalan

She is too young for the role remember the lead role is a prostitute Jessica is only 16.

Oh please no. As much as she is talented, I don't think she can carry the role. And no, please no Charice too!!!! I prefer that they audition totally unknown talents and find a girl who is most fit for the role of Kim.
