Harrison Ford as Oscar, Kevin Spacey as Felix...


...just a thought. If they ever make a remake. No? F.U. all then.

I'm not really a fan of remakes, but for some reason, I can imagine Kevin Spacey as Felix.

Harrison Ford could do a lot worse with his career right now than play Oscar that's for sure. It's definitely an interesting idea for a stage revival....NOT A MOVIE!

Ford's too old.

You know me. I'm just like you. It's two in the morning and I don't know nobody.

No sorry, I don't see Ford in this role. Spacey would be good as Felix maybe. Oscar is a toughy.

I've always thought that Kelsey Grammer (as Oscar) and David Hyde-Pierce (as Felix) would make a good Odd Couple. They have great chemistry together.

Yeah, but they'd both be Felixes, I can't really see either as oscar.

"Frasier" would be a Felix, but I'm sure Kelsey is a good enough actor to play a slob. Did you see the Frasier episode where he went to the diner and got mistaken for a bum? He can certainly look like Oscar.

Everyone I know has a big "but." Come on, Simone, let's talk about your big "but."

Patrick Warburton as Oscar, and Matthew Broderick as Felix.

Argggh! I hate remakes! Leave the classics alone!

Somebody started up a topic on a bizarre remake of Some Like It Hot (1959). CRAZY PERSON!

Hahahaha, good one. ๎€ฆ ๎† Back in the 90s, both would've been perfect, not sure about now. I think Spacey still could though, not sure Ford now but he'd be a great Oscar. ๎†

Hmmm... not a bad pair, but totally unnecessary - unless it is to bring Neil Simon back to movie theaters.

I usually don't bother discussing potential classic remakes but Kevin Spacey would be perfect. He reminds me a lot of Jack Lemmon anyway.

What you see is nothing. I got a Balinese dancing girl tattooed across my chest.

reply

Yeah when I watched this movie I kept seeing Spacey's face while watching Jack

No, no, no, no, no, NO! Especially Kevin Spacey as Felix

reply

I loath remakes. But it is okay to discuss as a hypothetical.

What about Jack Black as Oscar?

reply

Kevin would be excellent as Felix.
