Rupert Grint! I was wondering if he was ever getting more acting gigs and Tyler Labine makes a great comedic sidekick.

I was wondering if Hollywood ever got tired of remakes and decided to remake this into a TV series instead. I used to love the movies as a kid but I'm so sick of Eddie Murphy now...

TheCentralScrutinizer · 26 Feb 13 :: 19:15

I'm most excited about the Robin Williams/SMG show, yeah. But also, NCIS:Red has a great cast (Scotty G!), so I'll definitely check that out. The funniest part for me is that Miguel Ferrer is in it too. I wrote a script a million years ago for Scotty and there was a character in there for Miguel too. Love that dude.

CappuGirl · 26 Feb 13 :: 21:56

oh yeah, Miguel Ferrer! loved him in Grossing Jordan!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 27 Feb 13 :: 01:58

He's a good guy. Had a beer with him once.

CappuGirl · 27 Feb 13 :: 11:55

wow. cool
