Back to School remake

[Guest Lethargic]

Rodney Dangerfield and MGM are headed Back to School, signing a deal to revive the biggest hit in the hound-faced comedian's feature career.

 

Dangerfield will be involved in the remake's development, with an exec producer or producer credit, and likely will do a cameo, though at 81 he won't reprise his starring role.

 

MGM is now in discussions with writers on the project. The original grossed more than $91 million when it debuted in 1986. Dangerfield, who helped write the story, played a rich and obnoxious businessman who enrolls in college to encourage his son to go, as well.

 

 

 

You know, the ONLY reason Back to School was good was because of Dangerfield. It's not like it had a very interesting plot or whatever. It was just a Dangerfield vehicle. I mean, nobody would remake Ladybugs right? Why in the world would you remake this??

Oh man, poor Rodney. I know his movie career hasn't been much the last few years (have you SEEN My Five Wives...not good) but this is ridiculous.

 

Please don't tell me it's going to be "urbanized" like the rumored Airplane remake with Method Man and the other rapper (either Snoop or Redman, forget which).

Bernie Mac in Dangerfield's role. I could see that.

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

I think Verne hit it on the head. Bernie Mac would make the best choice at this time to reprise that type of role.

 

And I love your Jerry Reed icon.

I want to see Jerry Stiller as the lead with Demi Moore as the prof love interest. Might as well put Aston Kutner in also or a Wayans family member.

Thanks.

 

If this movie ever gets off the ground and Mac is casted. I hope they give himself to showcase his talent. Too many times, it's just assumed that no matter how shitty or mediocre a script Bernie Mac will be funny.
