Amen to that!! I've had more than my fill of reboots, remakes, remixes, retreads, and the wholesale lack of creativity and originality in the film and music world. Scary to think that Television is the most creative medium we have to day, and still the vast majority of it is crappy. And why would you choose a movie like this that is almost perfect in every way???

A wonderful concept.a movie that is not a re-make. Can Hollywood pull it off? Can they hire writers who can come up with an original idea? That's a stretch.

They dont need to hire writers to come up with new ideas. Just look to the local library, there are so many books out there that could be turned into movies.

^Jesus christ people, stop being so melodramatic, it's just a fun hypothetical notion. No-one is asking to change it, just having fun considering the modern equals of these great actors.
I agree Will Ferrell comes to mind as the Doctor, Anna Faris is a great comedic actress (excluding 'Mums') and Steve Buscemi is an obvious shoe-in for Feldman. John C Reilly would be really cool as the inspector I think, as for the monster, that's a little harder. -

Will Ferrel could replace gene WilderuhNEVER!!!
Two different styles of acting. Wilder is subtle, and always 5 degrees off of normal.
Ferrel is a big kid, playing grown up.
Besides ALL of thatyou simply can't remake classics and that you'd even consider it possible, makes you a Philistine! -

It's just a fun "what if". No one is saying that we should remake it as none of us have the power to do so either.
Calm down everyone
there are no plans for a remake. We just taking opinions of who could fill these roles in the modern day without getting our panties in a bunch!!! -

I don't think anybody needs to "calm down", or is getting their panties in a bunchor is that what you hoped would happen? Why else start a thread about recasting YF? People are simply stating the obvious; it doesn't need to be rebooted, remade, recast, or whatever euphemism you choose. Some movies are fun to speculate about, in the case of YF it's just a waste of time.
This movie's comedy is so broadly done that in the hands of lesser talent it would be like watching something on the level of "Scary Movie".
Put Will Ferrel in it as the star and it becomes unwatchable. -

Nah, any remake would undoubtedly be done by Judd Apatow and would no doubt contain a scene of Dr. Frankenstein (Jason Segel), The Monster (Seth Rogen) and Igor (Paul Rudd) smoking pot and talking about jerking off or something.
Or worse, it'll be a Seltzerberg film where "Look, it's Kim Kardashian!" where they cut to a Kim Kardashian impersonator standing around just before a cow falls on her is the most sophisticated joke in the whole movie. -

Let's notand not even say that we did! You can't improve on perfection. And YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is undeniably perfect the way it is, right now.
I watched a re-run of this on the Sundance Channel, last night, and it was still as fall-down hysterically funny as ever. Especially, that "soup-to-nuts" routine with Gene Hackman as the Blind Old Hermit! So, to paraphrase what I said above? Let's none of us pull a George Lucas (as in "fixing what ain't even broken").

Hopefully, this
never
gets remade.
But if it does, hopefully they
never
let Will Ferrell
anywhere near this thing.
Here's my picks for Young Frankenstein:
*Dr. Frankenstein -
Will Forte
*Igor -
Mike Myers
*Frankenstein's Monster -
Jon Hamm
*Inga -
Emma Stone
*Elizabeth -
Catherine Zeta Jones
*Inspector Kemp -
Bill Hader
*Frau Bluker -
Kate Mackinnon
*Harold, The Blind Man -
John C Reily -

Let's recast it!!!
No, let's not re-cast it, n00bie. That's stupid. That parts are already filled perfectly. Yet you want to "fix" what isn't broken, so you can break it, hm? If you can't come up with a good original thought, then you're hardly qualified to re-cast a Classic. Get off, n00b! Speaking of
classic
, this is NOT your class. Seriously, piss off, you moronic idiot!
