The '80s/'90s Match of the Century: Bud Bundy Teams with Parker Lewis
Believe it or not, David Faustino didn't crawl into a hole and die after Married with Children. In fact, he's kept busy with a myriad of lesser-known projects. But now ... Bud Bundy is heading for Bollywood. That's right -- The Hollywood Reporter posts that Faustino has signed on to star in a new comedy called The Bollywood Boys.But that's only the tip of the retro television iceberg. His co-star in this feature is none other than Corin Nemic -- star of the late and great Parker Lewis Can't Lose. The pair will play a few struggling filmmakers who decided to accept some money from the Mumbai mob and try to make a Hollywood-Bollywood musical with a "past-his-prime Indian star."
If we could only have Abraham Benrubi (Larry Kubiac on Parker Lewis, or Olaf on Buffy, or Markovic on ER) come on to play the muscle -- that would be retro amazing. Production on this project will kick off this summer. It's been a very long time since Bud and Parker ruled the small screen. Do you think they could make magic on the big one?

their web series "Star-ving" is pretty funny. if they can bring that same style of self deprecating humor to the movie it might provide a few good laughs.

I am stoked. I haven't been officially stoked since the 90's. 1997 at the latest.

For those who may not know, Corin and Faustino are best friends in real life and started a production company together. They have a few projects in the pipeline.
Corin also made appearances in three seasons of Stargate SG-1, as the much loved character Jonas Quinn. Corin definitely never went away.
This movie sounds like an interesting project.
