Steve Martin playing Jacques Clouseau??
 

Maybe its just my opinion, but Peter Sellers is the only person on earth who can play that character!

I know ...I saw the preview on T.V last night...it looked awful <cringe> :o


I used to love those movies as a kid but watching them now...even the originals are quite crap :p

Re: Steve Martin playing Jacques Clouseau??
 

It must be classifiable as sacrilege.. Its just wrong!

Re: Steve Martin playing Jacques Clouseau??
 

Sellars is dead so if someone wants to take the role, it'll just have to be someone else...

Lassie wasn't just one dog, you know. ;)

Poor old steve :( I feel sorry for him.
I have to say that the recent movie about the life of Peter Sellers was excellent though - highly recommended!!

Re: Steve Martin playing Jacques Clouseau??
 

Steve Martin couldn't touch the brilliance of Peter Sellars one of the finest actors Britain produced. It's another pathetic attempt to hijack the finest films Britain produced and re do them as crap. :mad:

Re: Steve Martin playing Jacques Clouseau??
 

yeah "Lady Killers" springs to mind....even the preview was excruciating to watch....who on earth could have sat through the whole movie :scared: :eek:

Re: Steve Martin playing Jacques Clouseau??
 

True, but Lassie couldnt do an amusing and ridculous French accent either!

Re: Steve Martin playing Jacques Clouseau??
 

I think Steve Martin is quite good; I haven't caught this preview yet so I won't comment on this role.

Re: Steve Martin playing Jacques Clouseau??
 

How do you know? :D It could have been talking French all along

Re: Steve Martin playing Jacques Clouseau??
 

yes, well - to be fair.. It is 'unlikely' Lassie speaks English in an amusing French accent, however, i have no scientific basis for this supposition, and am willing to be proven wrong.

Re: Steve Martin playing Jacques Clouseau??
 

I think Steve Martin is great....does that guy ever age?? he looks the same now as he did in Parenthood?

anyway it sometimes amazes me how a good funny actor can make a bad choice and be in a shit movie....his movie Out of Towners with Goldie Hawn(who I love) was utter shite :scared:

Re: Steve Martin playing Jacques Clouseau??
 

Ow you say ze rurff rurff :D

Re: Steve Martin playing Jacques Clouseau??
 

saw it previewed in the cinema, thought it was a spoof ad for getting you to turn your phone off :eek: Then i discovered its not :rolleyes:

Should have let it lie ;)

Re: Steve Martin playing Jacques Clouseau??
 

Why do they keep doing re-makes- of anything??

I suppose a modern slant on an old plot can sometimes be entertaining, if the original film is badly dated in some way, or failed to get to the heart of a book it was portraying.

Perhaps "Pink Panther" might be a little dated - fashion-wise, but that's part of its charm for me. Same with the original "War of the Worlds" - dated, but it didn't matter.

I hope they never re-make "The Day the Earth Stood Still" - I couldn't bear it if they changed Gort! LOL!
