14 DAY TRIAL // Although Adam Lambert is the first to admit he still has a long way to go before proving himself on the music scene and showing that he truly has the staying power of a rock ‘n’ roll god, as fans believe of him, the American Idol runner-up is also planning ahead. More specifically, Adam is also eyeing a career in movies and, according to Broadway World, he knows just where to start.
Adam’s debut music album, “For Your Entertainment,” is just days away from arriving in music stores, but he’s wasting no time in thinking of what could lay ahead of him career-wise. If he had his wish, Lambert would star next as Judas in the remake of the popular “Jesus Christ Superstar,” he reveals in a recent interview for TV Guide cited by the aforementioned publication. In fact, he plans on doing everything in his power to see that he gets that part.
When asked what was next on his agenda, Lambert made no secret of his ambition to become an actor as soon as possible. “I heard they’re trying to do a remake of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ and I want to play Judas. I’m going to start publicly campaigning for it. I think a movie would be really cool!” Adam is quoted as saying.
Of course, fans are none too happy about this so-called expressed intention of Adam’s to start to publicly campaign for a movie role when he repeatedly said in previous interviews that his sole focus at the moment was his music career. They’re not shy of saying it so on dedicated forums either for that matter. However, it could very well be that, even if Lambert made the above comment on a serious note, he did so while still seeing his music as coming first – with acting second.
“I hope acting’s in my future, yeah. It is something that I’ve done a lot over the past eight or 10 years. If the opportunity came up and it was the right thing, I would love to be a part of a film. Right now, I am going to try to work on the album first. One thing at a time, right!” Adam himself was saying in an older interview, as we also reported at the time.
