Princess Bride

[t0r012]

Said by others, but not as well as these.

They broke the mold after they filmed this movie.

yeah sorry i see that now. I usually read the whole thread before responding but upon reading the original post there was a visceral reaction that i posted without reading anything else in the thread.

Miracle Max - Paul Dinello
Valerie/Witch -Amy Sedaris

Amy Sedaris was born to play that role.

Inspired by a recent quote thread, I watched the movie again. As watching
I was thinking about how Hollywood rarely does anything original any more,
and often have been remaking old movies.

If there were to be a remake, who would you cast in the major/minor roles?

OK, in the tradition of most remakes, let's see just how bad we could make this!

Westley- Wil Wheaton
Buttercup - Linsay Lohan
Humperdinck - David Hasslehoff
Count Rugen - Ben Stiller
Vezzini - Ray Romano
Fezzik - Shaquille O'Neal
Inigo - Tommy Wiseau
Miracle Max - Sylvester Stallone
Valerie/Witch - Amy Winehouse
Grandfather - William Shatner
Grandson - The Situation

A solution to this potential heresy would be choose another of William Goldman's unfilmed books (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Goldman#Novels ) and seek to make a film as original as Princess Bride.

Best suggestion yet... do something new... I like it

"May I live a thousand years and never hunt again" if they make a remake of this movie. It is absolutely perfect as is

Inconceivable!

You keep using that word. In this case, it means EXACTLY what you think it means.

[Kominalito]

if someone remakes this movie, i'll burn it down. down to da gwownd.

[Irinis]

Yeah Princess Bride really is too perfect for a remake.

[BattleCircle]

I agree with most everyone else. NO

But you know it will eventually happen. It is too popular a movie for them to pass up the chance to frig it up.

They will probably do it in 3D, with tons of cgi, and not talent.

I can say I would be a very hard sell on a remake for this...
Especially after the bad taste I have with the Last Airbender
adaptation...

*See's Angry townsfolk and sea of pitchforks and torches...*

"Perhaps I should adress this...."

For the record I too am against a remake.
(As noted above...)

I was merely trying to note if it were done, as others stated
This was who I would try to put in there... The OP was just trying
To have a little fun... Put down the pitchforks and the flames please...

[AZgreentea]

I am very upset.

Somebody near my cubicle has "Inconceivable!" as their text message notification and I cant locate them to ask them where they got it. I guess I will have to live with my "Exterminate!" Dalek quote.

Firstly, a remake would be a bad idea.

In the film were being made now, I can see the following cast:

Westley: Ryan Reynolds
Buttercup: Amanda Siefried
Humperdink: James Franco (this one bugs me, can't think of anyone else though)
Inigo: Adrian Grenier
Fezzini: Martin Short
Count Rogen: Willem Dafoe
Fezzik: Michael Clerk Duncan
Miracle Max: Zach Braff
Valerie: Tina Fey
Grandfather: Sam Elliot
Grandson: meh
