Selecting the Best Sleestaks for the Job
Rick Marshall. Will. Holly. A routine expedition.
Those were as much a part of my childhood and glasses and braces! And I recently learned that they're re-making it into a Hollywood movie, starring none other than Will Farrell as Rick Marshall! I love me a throwback movie, assuming it's done well (i.e. not Dukes of Hazzard). I love me some Will Farrell, there hasn't been much he's done that I haven't approved of (i.e. not Bewitched). I also love the challenge of casting a movie even though nobody asked me, so the second I heard about this I set about to selecting a pack of sleestaks on behalf of the filmmakers:
All were selected for their tall, lanky builds and/or abilities to hiss.
Matt has been trying to convince me to cast Jennifer Aniston, purely so one of the sleestaks can have a Rachel™ haircut. I violently disagreed until I heard that filming was going on today down in Pike Place Market for one of Jenn's latest movies...which I thought would be a great opportunity to approach her to gauge her interest in portraying a sleestak. Or kidnap her and force her to play a sleestak. Well, here: just look at the IM conversation between me and Matt and marvel at the relevance of our avatars:
Matt posted this on his livejournal, and one of his buddies had the idea that's even MORE genius than the Land of the Lost remake....SLEESTAKS IN SEATTLE!!
