How about a Roger Rabbit-style movie? With animated Simpsons in a real world.
For some reason Harrison Ford has always clicked with me for Skinner.Oh man, he would be great.
JOAN CUSACK as MISS KRABAPPELI still like my idea of Joanna Cassidy as Ms. Krabapple. She has the whole droll, deadpan thing down cold.
I thought of the perfect actor for Smithers but he's a character actor and his name isn't well known, although I gaurantee you've all seen him before. His name is Mark L. Taylor and he was in Innerspace (a technician at the lab), Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (the owner of the big RV for Matt Frewer's ill-fated fishing trip), and an episode of ST: TNG (The Ensigns of Command).
Richard Herd (Admiral Paris from ST: VOY and Mr. Wilhelm from Seinfeld) could play Superintendant Chalmers.
Howie Long as Duffman
And it's still JASON ALEXANDER, imo, as front-runner for Homer and MIRA SORVINO as Marge, though neither one is perfect. Feel free to disagree. We still need SMITHERS, GROUNDSKEEPER WILLIE, SKINNER,
KRUSTY, SIDESHOW BOB, MOE etc
BTW, the Howie Long and Duffman thing is great
But as for the other cast, How about:
Flea as MOE
He would kill in this role! I am thinking Oscar nomination if he ever did this part. Either him or Steve Buscemi.
Ricky Jay as COMIC BOOK GUY
Don't argue it, just accept it as a given.
Robert Carlyle as GROUNDSKEEPER WILLIE
Can you imagine if he could channel some of his Begbie into the character of Willie? It would be incredible!
Paul Giamatti as CHIEF WIGGUM
I just think that he would kill this character. Very similar to his character in Donnie Brasco
Gary Cole as PRINCIPAL SKINNER
You all know who Gary Cole is. Who else could master Bill Lumberg and Mike Brady! He would be perfect, I think.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman as SMITHERS
Even though he looks nothing like him, I could totally see PSH really just GET the gist of Smithers. Watch The Big Lebowski again, and see what I mean. Either PSH or Dylan Baker, his costar from Happiness.
Ralph Fiennes as SIDESHOW BOB
Since Kelsy Grammer is too fat to play bob, I think that Ralph could do an admirable job. If he doesnt bite, then Gary Oldman could be amazing in this role as well.
Jerry Lewis as KRUSTY
I am not sure if he is young enough, or healthy enough, to do any more roles, but he would hit this one out of the park.
Minnie Driver as MARGE SIMPSON
She already has curly hair, a raspy voice, and an air of sadness around her that makes you want to sympathize with her. Just dye it bleu, and voila, Margorie Bouvier Simpson
Bruce Willis as HOMER SIMPSON
He's bald, he's angry, he has permant 5 O'clock shadow, and his profile is an exact match to Homer Simpson's (Take my word on this). I have to give credit to my bro who suggested this, but it is genius.
Alt HOMER: Peter Stormare
Looks almost exactly like Homer, but is a little too Russian to play the part. Maybe he could play Herman, where Herman becomes a Russian General instead of a Detroit Carmaker.
