If you can’t get tickets to see “Glee Live! In Concert!” when the cast of the hit show goes on tour, Fox has come up with a solution.
“Glee Live!” is being produced as a 3-D movie, to be directed by “Fame” helmer Kevin Tancharoen and will be released for a two-week period starting August 12.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the movie will follow the on-stage and backstage antics of the “Glee” crew as they hit the road this summer. Cast members Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Amber Riley, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale, Jenna Ushkowitz, Mark Salling, Dianna Agron, Naya Rivera, Heather Morris and Harry Shum, Jr. have already been announced as tour participants.
Relatively new “Glee” stars Chord Overstreet and Darren Criss are also on board, and Ashley Fink and members of the Warblers are also expected to pop up in the movie. Two mainstays who haven’t been mentioned are Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison.
Either way, Ryan Murphy has promised that “Glee Live! 3D!” will be worth the cost of a 3-D ticket.
“We knew that not every fan who wanted to attend a concert would get that opportunity,” he told THR. “Now, thanks to our friends at Twentieth Century Fox Film, we’ll be able to bring the concert experience to movie theaters across the country in full three dimensional glory. We promise every passionate ‘Gleek’ a cinematic experience that will have them singing and dancing in the aisles.”

You Never Know Who You’re Going to Bump Into Department: It was nice attending East West Players’ 45th anniversary awards dinner this past Monday night. During a break in the program, I tried tracking down a Fox executive and found the network’s table but couldn’t find my “target.” So I asked someone, whose back was turned to me, if there was another table sponsored by the network. There wasn’t, and I quickly realized I was talking to one of the night’s honorees, Harry Shum Jr., who plays Mike Chang on “Glee.”
I complimented him for being such a fun dancer to watch and mentioned that, as part of the Asian Pacific American Media Coalition, I’d pushed Fox to give him more to say on the show. He appreciated it. When I expressed pleasant surprise that his coupling with fellow Asian American Jenna Ushkowitz had lasted longer than I’d expected (I thought she’d soon run back to Arnie, the wheelchair guy, but long ago, the show dropped any signs they still longed for each other as Arnie’s now in a relationship with Britney, the dumb blonde), he told me that he was proud of the fact that Mike and Tina had the longest-running relationship on the show.
This week, Britney began running a regular video show focused on gossip. Tina offered, “I want to talk about the rumor about Asian men? (shaking her fingers and smiling) Not true!” The fact that she didn’t have to explain it for the audience to get it is sad, but hey, I appreciated the “defense”!

Jenna Ushkowitz has clarified rumors that the cast of Glee will be refreshed in 2012.
The show’s executive producer Ryan Murphy revealed in December that he is thinking of introducing new characters, but Ushkowitz explained that he had been misquoted.
“[The cast] were shocked at first, we didn’t know what was going on,” Ushkowitz told The TV Addict. “[But] we talked to [Murphy] and he talked to us about it and he never really said that. He kind of said that but he didn’t. It was a little bit of a misunderstanding.”
She added: “We’re all going to have to graduate at some point. I don’t think it’s going to be 2012. I don’t really know. But it also doesn’t mean that the show won’t go on without us going to college, another school, or sticking around for a little while. We’ll see what happens. With Ryan Murphy, anything is possible!”
