No more remakes. The Odd Couple has been done in so many different versions that it does not ever need to be done again!

No just re-release the original into the Movie Houses so a new Generation can watch it on the Big Screen.

What would be the point of a remake?

Why remake it? Isnt the original good enough?
Looking for spoilers, are ya?

It would be a tragedy to ever remake this film.

Please don't!

Yeah, it's also already been STAGED, why do they need to keep doing it? Because it's amazing, and I like to see other people's versions.
Boycott Remakes, and lets not forget the anti-christ Uwe Boll!

Butbutbut the Odd Couple is a movie that's ALREADY been made. Why does anyone need to remake it?

Steven Carrel would be a great felix.

Owen Wilson read this thread and tried to kill himself again.
The movie doesn't need to be remade. But if you're going to play the game on who would fit the roles, Adam Goldberg would make a great Felix and Jack Black would make a great Oscar.

We have seen the definitive Odd Couples on film , stage and tv. How could anyone possibly attempt to improve on perfection?
The idiots who remake classic stuff throw linguini at the wall and it ALWAYS winds up being garbage because they have absolutely NO sense of history nor do they get the original films nor their premises.
I played Oscar Madison on stage and cringe at the idea of the current actors out there even attempting to do this role. And got to talk frequently to Jack Klugman at the track which was fun.

Is it too late to have the person who suggested remaking this banned from IMDb?

mcwhat,
Better yet, take them out at your local public library. It's free, so no profits for the studio after the initial purchase. Of course the library doesn't have all the movies, but even in a small city they have a surprising number. A few libraries charge a nominal fee for new releases, but most don't.
And certainly for children's movies, that they love to watch over and over, it just makes sense to get them for free.

It's cheaper for Hollywood and Broadway to recycle than pay for original scripts or good writers. They also perceive it as "safer", a better box-office gamble, if it's a known quantity. I've accepted that they'll continue to do this as a matter of economy, and trademark of the myopic film executive's brain.
All I can do is promote what I really like when it gets done over, and either buy it or rent it when the remake is released. Although, a friend pointed out once that when I do this, the studio still makes money because they own the title that's being remade, so any revenue from rentals or purchases go right to them, and it didn't matter that I didn't buy a ticket for the new one or not.
It's like with books; every weekend, the bestseller section at the local bookstore is crowded and picked over, but the main fiction section is quiet and underpopulated, sometimes save for the lone student needing a book for a paper or report.
Do yourselves a favor: drag your friends into the "classics" section when you go to rent stuff, or bring an old favorite over for movie night. Once the groans subside, they'll settle down and realize that old movies are just as enjoyable (and sometimes even funnier or discussion-provoking if they reference obscure jokes or topics; one night I found myself reading the wiki article on "monkey glands" aloud to a group after we'd watched "Auntie Mame"), and even more so when your friends complain there's nothing good on or at the theater.

No, No, No No NOOOOO!
Stop with the remakes. Leave the classics alone!
The only acceptable remake is the TV series.

Well this is a play that has been performed by MANY different actors over the years, not to mention a very popular TV show. I'm guessing if you ask the majority of people they will tell you that the odd couple stars Tony Randall and Jack Klugman. Plays like this I really think of as something like Shakespeare, its always interesting to see different interpretations of the same material.
I've always thought that Shatner and Nimoy should do a version of the Odd Couple.

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are not bad actors, but they would not work in a remake of this movie. If they do a remake, they'll probably end up using Lane and Broderick.
Johnny Carson 1925-2005. We will never forget you.

No. A possible gay subtext was not immediately evident 1968. They would have to deal with that today.

"I think it could be a pretty good vehicle for Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller. At least Ben Stiller as Felix."
Hell no! What are you, a hollywood exec? Listen, if you want to make a good comedy write it, you don't need to rehash old classics.
