If they were to make a new M*A*S*H movie

[The Line]

I ws thinking this the other night while watching M*A*S*H the other night, and I was thinking if they were to make a new movie of it for some reason, that Bryan Cranston( Hal from Malcom in the Middle) would be the perfect Frank Burns. Not only does he have the look, but he also is good at playing neurotic pussy-whiped guy.


Cranston

Frank Burns from the series.


So, uh, this was just a random though. So, I guess, just throw out random names for other parts.

Nice casting choice, but if they were to make a new M*A*S*H movie, it would unfortunatly be nowhere near as good as the original at best, and outright suck ass at worst.

[willywonka666]

Will Ferrell could probably play Trapper-he'd have to actually act though n not do the screaming dumbass schtick.

Bryan Cranston is a good choice, and I've often thought that Ashlie Brillaunt(Kate from Lizzie McGuire) could play Hot Lips if she was a little older

I'd look for a pic but I'm feeling lazy ATM

[The Lunch Break Kid]

Steve Guttenburg as BJ


But the main question would be who to play Hot Lips?

Guttenberg? I can't see him with the stache

[pegasuswarrior]

Reece Witherspoon or Selma Blair as Margaret Houlihan.

I do think the original post could very well have the best possible Frank Burns.

There is only one Hawkeye though. It'd be near impossible to re-create that television role.

Does anyone else think Steve Carell could possibly DOMINATE the Corporal Klinger role?

[The Lunch Break Kid]

Im sure Rob Schnieder (spelling?) could pull off a good Hawkeye.

If it was re-made today most of the characters would be played by black comedians.

this would probably be hated, but I could actually see Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrel as Hawkeye and Trapper John, respectively.

Well if they did it that way I would love to see Chris Tucker play Hawkeye.

I can see Vince Vaughn as Hawkeye, but for Trapper John, you'd need someone who was a little more subtle, like Luke Wilson.

I like that a lot better, actually.

So my fantasy movie right now would be

Hawkeye: Vince Vaughn
Trapper: Luke Wilson
Frank Burns: Bryan Cranston

now I just need a good Father, Radar, Hotlips, Klinger, and Blake as far as main cast goes.

I had the same exact thought a few days ago. Same thought.

weird.

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

Nah, if it were made today, they'd turn it from a real thought provoking comedy into a slapstick comedy starring Ben Stiller and all his idiot friends.(Note, I do NOT include Luke Wilson in this category. He's good. The rest, by and large, suck)

[ani]

If he was still in the business I could see Rick Moranis as Radar.

[Drillbit Taylor]

Ugly John=Jack Black

[Lupin the Third]

I could see Vince Vaughn as Hawkeye.

What about Henry Blake? We'd need someone who could pull off a bumbling leader.
