I think a bigger budget Munsters could be awesome, but you would need the right cast with good comedy instincts. Imagine John Hamm or someone similar as Herman, Joe Pesci as Grandpa, and maybe Eva Greene as Lily and give it the Dark Shadows remake treatment. That would be a good movie. This is basically looking like a fan movie, but I guess I will wait for the finished product before shitting on it too much.

The biggest hurdle any Munster Show faces is recasting Herman and Grandpa. Fred Gwyn and Al Lewis were amazingly good comedic actors who had already perfected working together in the Car 54 Series. I don't think there are any actors since that can replicate that dynamic, either individually or collectively. Gwynn in particular has a unique style and charisma that I do not think anyone else can emulate.

The Munsters was a shitty show that was just a little less shitty than some of the other shitty shows at the time.

Maybe you saw it as a kid and have some nostalgia for it, but let's not pretend it was some high art that took the perfect combination of factors to make work.

the Munsters had a few good things. it had the dragon they called Spot living under the stairs. it had the cool hot rods they used as everyday drivers. it had some crazy characters, like Zombo and Charlie, Herman's twin brother. there was Granpa's laboratory in the basement where he conducted experiments. it also had more than a few funny episodes. these are things that still hold up today as cool. it wasnt all shitty. there should be enough to cull from the episodes for a good movie. there should be.

The Adams family reboot was good. they used good actors as well. Christopher Lloyd as Uncle Fester, Raul Julia as Gomez, these were great castings. RZ casted his fuckin bitch wife who has never learned how to act and is only known in his music videos and his shitass movies. Herman seems to be some rando fucktard. then they cast some B actor as grandpa. i guess Sid Haig being dead made it difficult to cast him as he would have been a MUCH better fit. the cast is going to sink this movie even if the plot does not.

The Adams Family being good and having a sequel that was good is almost a minor miracle. The Adams Family pinball machine is the best selling and maybe greatest pinball machine of all time.

well the little girl they cast as Wednesday was pretty damned good, whatever that actress name was, she's nobody now.

This is from the man that used the Munster Koach in his Dragula video instead of the actual Dragula, a different car from the same show!

Rob Zombie is a fucking liar; I bet his last name isn't even really Zombie.

Not sticking up for him, but it's possible it's in a private collection and wasn't available for the video. The hero version of "The Car" is in a private collection and I don't think it's seen the light of day in a long time.

i checked her IMDB and she's playing a smaller role in the rebooted "Wednesday" show now. not trashing her, she was a fine looking woman and a great young actress, but her trajectory of stardom peaked 20 years ago. pugsley dude was pretty funny in Heavyweights. his problem was he stayed fat. he should have hit the gym while he could, he had a good shot of being something more.

I wouldn't say it's a miracle.

It had Raul Julia, Christopher Lloyd, and great writers.

Just like the Munsters CAN be good if it has a good cast and it is written well.

It won't be good or bad just because it's The Munsters, though

but getting a perfect cast of actors, a good script, and good director with funding practically IS a miracle.

I think hamm would have been a good call for Herman. Maybe cena..
Jonah hill probably could do Grampa. hill is 39. I was looking at Lewis's page to see how old he was. seems there is some discrepancy. possibly lied about his "early life", no ones sure if he was born in 1910, or 1923. if 1923, he would have been 41 at the start of munsters in 64.

this cast seems like a bunch of nobodies. not a good sign.

Christina Ricci during her prime, there was none hotter.
Check out her movie "Black Snake Moan" with Samuel L. Jackson

Same. I cranked out a few to it, but overall didn't like the movie.

She had some miniseries on Stars recently where she got completely naked (and some movie with Liam Neeson where she is a ghost or something). Plus her acting skill never fell off, she just wanted out of the mainstream by all accounts, focusing on art house movies.
