Monday Morning Poll: Casting A Hypothetical Live-Action Simpsons Movie
Filed under: Site Announcements, Casting

After I posted confirmation last week that the Simpsons feature film is, in fact, in production, our reader Sean left the following comment: "Paul Giamatti IS Homer Simpson." Of course, the film that Fox is making is animated, and all of the voice actors who work on the series will get to keep their jobs. But what if someone *was* making a live-action version of The Simpsons? Who would you cast as Marge? Lisa? Comic Book Guy? Let us know in the comments. Here's a couple to get you started: I'm casting my votes for Bruce Willis as Krusty the Klown, Philip Seymour Hoffman as Barney, and, of course, Anderson Cooper as Kent Brockman:

Ron Jeremy as either Barney or Fat Comic Book Guy.
Amy Sedaris as Lisa (I don't care if she isn't an 8 year old girl, do you?)
Just for kicks, let's make Tucker Carlson play Bart Simpson.

It would be a tricky thing to pick the most outrageous suggestion from these lists, but...
..."Lance Henriksen as Jasper"? That runs damn close to the front.
Then again, maybe it's the very idea of Jasper pulling screen time in a live action feature, which seems hilarious to me.
