But seriously, he won't be living. Begs the question, though: which movie is most untouchable, remake-wise? I say Godfather. No one's ever gonna have the stones to touch that one.<br /><br />Heather - best to just give in to the possibility (or, reality) that everything (short of perhaps the couple flicks mentioned above) will be remade. <br /><br />I was thinking about this the other day, though. You know how we're on a 20-30 year cycle for remakes (80s, so hot right now)? What's gonna happen when it's 2035 and there's nothing to remake but other remakes? With such a dearth of original material now, they'll HAVE to come up with original stuff then, right?<br /><br />Oh, who am I kidding.

Its timelessness was in the fact that it was a one in a million movie! <br /><br />BUT: Seeing as how Hollywood loves desecrating our childhood lately here's how I'd cast:<br /><br />Noonan: Michael Cera<br />Spackler: Tommy Chong<br />Lacy Underall: Mila Kunis<br />Ty Webb: Ryan Reynolds<br />Judge Smails: David Schramm (Roy from Wings. A little rotund for the part but he's got that stammering quality that made Ted Knight famous)<br />Al Czervik: Frank Caliendo.

I had a post about it when it was released as well. Never saw it, though (thankfully). You?<br /><br />I think the Smails character is the one with the most potential to surprise people. I like Lithgow, but don't think he's THAT funny - I just think he could pull off the blowhard/asshole part pretty well. Meanwhile, put a more dramatic person in there who has a smaller history in comedic roles and they could surprise people. The Giamatti selection was one of the last I came up with, but I like that one more and more the more I think about it.<br /><br />THN - So who would your Czervik be?<br /><br />Ugh, Cook. That'd be brutal. Biggs is too old. Looking around, it seems like most people recently would tab Michael Cera as Noonan, but as much as I like Cera, I don't think he's right at all for the part.Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-72039878892812298192010-06-03T17:21:25.965-07:002010-06-03T17:21:25.965-07:00I need to have a think about this.
