Simpsons Live-action - Ideal Cast ?
Let's agree that a SIMPSONS live action movie is a foul idea.Let's also agree that we'd quite like to see one anyway. Who would you cast ?
I can't think of a better Ned Flanders than William H.Macy.
For some strange reason, I can imagine Mira Sorvino as Marge.I'm stuck on Homer though - John C.Reilly ? Any suggestions ? (And don't anybody say John ******* Goodman !!)
I\'ve been going to bed early . . .

Homer could be Tom Arnold.

Haha, when I read the subject of this thread, I was thinking "Oh God, I hope no one says John Goodman!" |

Hmm... how about James Belushi & Susan Sarandon as Homer & Marge? Maybe Jonathan Taylor Thomas as Bart (though he's probably a little too old by now)...
However I agree that W.H. Macy would be perfect for Flanders!!

I can't believe you people are even thinking about a live action Simpsons movie. The voices of all the characters are so etched into my mind that I'd have a really hard time seeing a live action version unless the voice actors played their respective characters, which would mean lots and lots of makeup.
William H. Macy would be good for Flanders though... 
The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.

I couldn't agree more. But if it's popular enough, hollywood would be willing to try something as stupid as this. Look at the Flinstones and Scooby Doo. And look at the upcoming movies like Garfield and Jetsons.

But he's still got the right height 
"Reiss said that he considered casting a live-action Simpsons movie, but it would require someone "bald and as stupid as Homer. That's why God gave us Vin Diesel." Reiss proposed that Don King play Marge, and Tom Cruise play Smithers, Mr. Burns' homosexual assistant"

Does anybody else remember the live-action TV adaptation of "Mr. Bill" starring Peter Scolari?
