Spamalot MOVIE Clay Aiken?
The Broadway musical Spamalot as a movie musical with Clay Aiken? Everyone who wants Clay Aiken in a movie version of the Broadway musical Spamalot type “CLAY!”
(Sorry, you can’t typed “SPAM” - it will get sent to the spam folder.)
Fans are what drive demand for new projects. And if there is one subject that keeps on reappearing in comments here on LALATE the last few weeks is fans anxious for a movie adaptation of Spamalot led by Clay Aiken.
Wouldn’t that be great?
The financial numbers on Spamalot in New York have been huge. The musical is “lovingly ripped off from” the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The musical opened on Broadway in 2005 directed by LALATE’s fav Mike Nichols. It won that year best musical. Spamalot opened with advance tickets of $18 million, a Broadway box office record.
It thereafter did massive numbers in the London West End. A tour of Spamalot in the U.S. thereafter went onto to win awards.
So with big boxoffice numbers, lots of awards, perhaps the better question -
….. Spamalot, The Movie … How soon?!

I would love to see Clay Aiken play Sir Robin in the movie. He’d be great!!!!

Clay is a perfect Sir Robin, he is amazing!

I would love to see Clay as Sir Robin! He brought so much to that character in the show, and he would be great playing it in the movie.
on August 28th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
That would be fabulous if Clay Aiken were to play Sir Robin in a film version of Spamalot. He was absolutely terrific in that part. I thought he would be good, but I had no idea just how good he would be. Fantastic!
on August 28th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
I sure would love to see Clay as Sir Robin or any of the other characters in the movie. He is just a natural for any of the roles.
on August 28th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Clay would make a great Sir Robin in Spamalot the movie. He owns the role, no doubt about it.
on August 28th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
“CLAY”!!!
He would be awesome in this role. I wish Clay to achieve all his dreams and be happy, so if this is meant to be, then wonderful. Clay is fabulous as Sir Robin and I can’t wait to go and see the show again.
on August 28th, 2008 at 5:25 pm

on August 28th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
I haven’t been to a movie theatre since ‘85, but I’d go to see Clay as Sir Robin.
on August 28th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
Clay Aiken as Sir Robin? I am already staking out my seat at the movie theatre. What a great idea!
on August 28th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
I would LOVE to see Clay Aiken in a movie version of Spamalot. He’s terrific as Sir Robin! I hope that this really does happen!
on August 28th, 2008 at 5:28 pm
CLAY!!!!
YES!!
on August 28th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
He would be a natural in the role of Sir Robin. He was great on Broadway, will be great returning to the role, and would be great in the movie. Gee, do you think he might get sterotyped as a British Knight?
on August 28th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
CLAY!!!
Yes!– he would do a great job, bring it on!!
on August 28th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
CLAY!!!!!!! in a movie,Spamalot, would be wonderful. It would be good for the producer and all involved, good for Clay, good for his fans and show Monty Python fans another of Clay’s talents!
on August 28th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
“CLAY”!!!
That would be awesome.
on August 28th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
I would LOVE to see Clay in a movie version of Spamalot. He’s perfect as Sir Robin! Thanks for promoting this grand idea, LaLate. You’re the BEST!
on August 28th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
He would be great on the big screen. I hope they are thinking of him for the role of Sir Robin in Spamalot.
on August 28th, 2008 at 6:10 pm

CLAY!!!
Yes, yes, yes!! Clay would be fabulous on the big screen. I sure hope that this happens.
on August 28th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Are you kidding? CLAY!!! I’d go see that movie in a New York minute (and I loathe going to the movie theater any more!) He was hysterical in the role of Sir Robin (and I also loved Tom Deckman, David Hibbard, Rick Holmes, Hannah Waddingham and Chris Sieber — they owned their roles).
on August 28th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
CLAY!!!!
on August 28th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Clay!
He became the definitive Sir Robin (and took the guard to new heights of craziness).
on August 28th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
CLAY AIKEN would be awesome in a movie version! I’d def go see it!
on August 28th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
Only “Clay” would be absolutely perfect to reprise his Broadway Role of Sir Robin into the movie version. He was outstanding on that stage!!!! He would be magical on the silver screen!!!!!!!
on August 28th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Although at this point I think the talk about a Spamalot movie is just wishful thinking, I’d love to see Clay on the big screen!
on August 28th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
Clay!!!
That would be great!
on August 28th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Yes Clay in the movie Spamalot..all for it
on August 28th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
Clay!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!!!Always look on the bright side of life!!!!!!!!!!!!Clay in Spamalot the movie!! I’m so there!
on August 28th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
Clay!!!!! He would be incredible in the movie.
on August 28th, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Now wouldn’t that be the coolest.
on August 28th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
I think Clay Aiken would be the perfect choice to play Sir Robin in the Spamalot movie…..
he was amazing on Broadway….
so Yes to Clay !!!!!!!!!!!!!
on August 28th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Clay!!!! Clay!!!! Clay!!!!
That would the best news for all SPAMALOT lovers but most assuredly for us Clay fans!!!!
Bring him on!!!!!!!
on August 28th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
CLAY AIKEN! I would love to see him in this movie!
on August 28th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Gotta agree that Clay would be the perfect choice to play Sir Robin in a Spamalot movie. He got rave reviews as Sir Robin on Broadway. To the surprise of some people, he showed himself to be a fantastic actor with perfect comedic timing. Not a surprise to me or his fans. Many were pleasantly surprised. The overwhelming majority of audience members loved him in the role. Clay in the movie gets my vote!!
on August 28th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
CLAY!!!
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the potential movie backers (if there is a movie in the works) are paying attention to the surge in revenue that Clay brought to the show in the 16 weeks he appeared. =)
on August 28th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
CLAY !
on August 28th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
CLAY!!!!!! Absolutely, positively stupendous as Sir Robin. There will not be a theater seat to be had, if he gets the movie role!!!
on August 28th, 2008 at 9:25 pm
Clay would be awesome in the movie role of Sir Robin. It is the perfect part for Clay and he is perfect for the part.
on August 28th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Clay Aiken IS Sir Robin!
on August 28th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
That would be awesome if Clay were in the movie role of Spamalot. I would also love it if Hannah Waddingham was the choice for the Lady of the Lake. She was fabulous during her run.
on August 28th, 2008 at 10:53 pm
CLAY!
He’s perfect for the role! I saw him in NYC earlier this year and he was awesome as I knew he would be. His comedic timing has always been perfect.
Go Clay go!
on August 28th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
CLAY!!
Of course he must play the roles in the film. I would see it in the theatre 5 times, then buy the DVD and watch it every day for a week. Then I will have to think about my further schedule.
on August 28th, 2008 at 11:20 pm
CLAY
on August 28th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
I just love Clay Aiken!
on August 28th, 2008 at 11:56 pm
Clay!!!!!!
In the movies!!!!! Tell me when to show up and I’ll be there. He has proven that he can bring them through the theatre doors in record numbers in the middle of winter in New York. His last cd debuted at no. 4 on the charts with no radio play and very little promotion.They would be nuts not to cast him.
P.S. Thanks Lalate for keeping us informed.
on August 29th, 2008 at 12:15 am
CLAY!!!!!
He was fantastic as Sir Robin on Broadway. he was also great as the other 3 characters he played in Spamalot. He took all of his characters to another level. He’s a very talented comic actor.
on August 29th, 2008 at 12:17 am
I’ve known how talented Clay was for years but his Spamalot performances left my jaw on the floor. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect him to pull off the calibre of performance that he did in his first run on Broadway.
Clay, Hannah Waddingham, Rick Holmes and Tom Deckman are must haves for the movie in my opinion. I loved Jonathan Hadary as King Arthur but would have loved to see John O’Hurley’s portrayal to compare. O’hurley’s dry nature has to lend it self well to the role.
Mike Nichols, are ya listening to us? Hope so!
on August 29th, 2008 at 12:26 am
A movie with Clay Aiken as Sir Robin? YES! YES! YES! He is wonderful in the role and I think everyone should get to see that.
on August 29th, 2008 at 6:30 am
“Clay”
on August 29th, 2008 at 6:53 am
Be still my heart!
“Clay”
on August 29th, 2008 at 7:48 am
… Having Clay Aiken in the ” Spamalot” movie would guarantee a financial success.
….and you know it!!

Clay as sir Robin on the big screen!!! Oh Dear lord let it be so!!!
Thanks LaLate!!!!
on August 29th, 2008 at 9:03 am
All I got to say is: BRING IT!!!!!!
on August 29th, 2008 at 9:43 am
That would be so great if Clay would be in the movie version of “Spamalot”. Thanks for all the good reports on Clay, LaLate, you’re the best.
on August 29th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
CLAY in the movie. Perfect.
on August 29th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
If Eric Idle thinks he can do justice to the uniqueness of SPAMALOT in a movie setting, then yes, Clay would be the one to play Sir Robin.
And yes, Tom Deckman must play Prince Herbert!
on August 29th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
Clay, Clay, Clay, Clay, Clay
on August 29th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
IMO, much too soon to speculate (and hope no backfiring will happen) but it would be lovely if it becomes true.
on August 29th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
CLAY, YOU WOULD BE SO GREAT IN THE MOVIE. GAHHHHHH. I WANNA SEE YOU ON THE BIG SCREEN .
on August 29th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
Is this for real?
This would be so fantastic…I loved Clay as Sir Robin. Let’s hope this comes true…
on August 30th, 2008 at 12:57 am
Bring it on! I’ll treat. “Clay”
on August 30th, 2008 at 9:28 am
I would love,love to see Clay in the remake of MP&THG….epppppp..He did so good in “Spam”….he would be perfect for the job…
on August 30th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
Clay Aiken would be my pick for the Spamalot movie. I thought before I saw him in the Broadway play that maybe the hype over his part(s) in it were a little over the top. I was wrong, Clay was magnificent and really should be cast in the Spamalot movie.
on September 1st, 2008 at 4:04 am
If he gets the role, please give him a full song to sing in the movie.*praying*.
on September 8th, 2008 at 1:35 am
I would go to see Clay in anything on the big screen. I was blown away when I saw him in that small part on SCRUBS. He really can act, no doubt about it.
on September 11th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Yes, Clay in the movie. . . .perfect.
on September 21st, 2008 at 7:42 pm
CLAY!!! Yes; in the Spamalot MOVIE! CLAY! I would sooo go buy it on dvd! PLEASE put CLAY in it!
on September 21st, 2008 at 7:44 pm
CLAY! PLEASE put CLAY IN THE SPAMALOT MOVIE! PLEASE!
