    OK, they are officially going to make a simpsons movie. I was hoping it would be with people, but it's a cartoon. I even had the cast somewhat planned out as far as ideal choices.

    Homer: John Goodman
    Apu: Ajay Naidu
    McBain/Rainer Wolfcastle: Arnold schwartzzenaegar (spelling?)
    Comic Book Guy:Wayne Knight


    What do you guys think for hypothetical cast of a movie with people, and not a cartoon?

    each actor, except for lisa's, do several characters each. using the actors in more than 1 part would be idiotic, and they look nothing like the characters.

    It's a cartoon movie. Hence, using the voice-actors. Anything else would be a sacrilege. And I'm aware that they do several voices and don't look like their characters (who really could?)...I've been watching the show since before you were born. :)


    If it were live-action....which it is not (and hopefully never will be)....hmmm....haven't really thought of that.


    EDIT:

    Homer: Jason Alexander
    Marge: Fran Dresher
    Bart: Jake Lloyd
    Lisa: Jenny McCarthy
    Maggie: Monica Lewinsky
    Abe Simpson: Haley Joel Osment
    Mr. Burns: John Malkovich
    Mr. Smithers: Richard Gere
    Barney: John Daly (the pro golfer)
    Moe: Billy Bob Thornton
    Krusty: Elliot Gould
    Sideshow Mel: Fabio
    Sideshow Bob: Matt Stone from "South Park"
    Itchy: Harrison Ford
    Scratchy: Sean Connery
    Comic Book Guy: Harry Knowles
    Mrs. Krabappel: Jenna Jameson
    Mr. Skinner: Willem Dafoe
    Groundskeeper Willie: Tom Cruise
    Nelson: That fat kid from "The Sandlot"
    Milhouse: Hollywood Humplick

    A live action Simpsons movie would be the worst thing ever in the history of time (ever!).

    The cartoon movie is going to be fantastic, I'm sure.

    ^Agreed (about the live action thing).


    However...they need to bring back the old writers for the movie. If they use the current writers...I'll fear the worst...

    I hope so. I'm not entering with the highest of expectations. I just don't feel right with a Simpsons movie, because it's a little hypocritical (the Simpsons spoofs things like this).

    Thank you, good sir. :)

    *bows*


    I personally think--as my above list suggests--that Monica Lewinsky would make an excellent Maggie Simpson. I'm sure she'd be able to suck on that pacifier like a pro. ;)

    It'd be virtually impossible to cast a live-action Simpsons. The look of the characters is key...and a real human-being cannot look like these particular characters.


    I guess they can remove their lower teeth to elimate their overbite...and chop-off a finger from each hand. Whatever.

    If Matt Groening really wanted to destroy what he created, he'd make it a live action movie

    Yeah, the overbite, yellow skin and four finger thing would be hard to pull off.
