Who would you cast?
From today's NYDailyNews.com:
Assuming the show is set to start in January, who would you cast? It has to be people who're available to act full-time in a series as of this fall - in other words, no matter how perfect you think Jared Padalecki would be in the Judd Nelson role or Ashley Simpson in the Ally Sheedy part (to randomly pick names out of a hat) they're not available and can't do it.
Would you keep the genders all the same? Would you add in a wider range of races, sexual orientations, religions, etc.?
Would you update the theme song and if it was to be a straight-out cover, which current band or singer would you have cover it?
(I've had two glasses of shiraz and the best berry-bread-pudding evrr at Emeril's Tchoup Chop restaurant at Universal so I'm feeling a bit goofy ATM. Hurrah, for I will see Erin of House of Black tomorrow!)
ABC is heating up with "St. Elmo's Fire," the upcoming series based on the Brat Pack movie of the same name.
According to HollywoodReporter.com, the show will be based on, but will not replicate the film about six Georgetown grads entering adulthood. The three guys and three girls who play the lead roles will still live in Georgetown and still hang out at the St. Elmo's Bar & Restaurant, now referred to as St. Elmo's Bar & Grill, but they will all have fresh characters and story lines.
Imagine "Friends," a bit more serious and a half an hour longer. Dan Bucatinsky, who will take on screenwriting duties for the series, has no problem with reframing that coffee-house convention.
"I feel it is time to re-create 'Friends' in the hourlong genre and feel like this is the perfect opportunity," he said.
