Wow, just wow.
Actually no, just horrid.

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!

person who want to recast a film with all his favourite new actors= idiot

*Frankenstein's Monster - Brad Garrett
That would be too funny to have had two actors from Raymond to play Young Frankenstein Monster

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 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").
"Here endeth the lesson."

Yes yes, recasting, just for fun though, don't give hollywood any funny ideas
Dr. Frankenstein - Josh Radnor
Igor - Seth Green
Frankenstein's Monster - Nicholas Cage (let's give him a chance)
Inga - Isla Fisher
Elizabeth - Malin Akerman
Inspector Kemp - Sacha Baron Cohen
Harold, The Blind Man - Chris Pratt

Dr. Frankenstein- Will Ferrell
Igor- Paul Giamatti
Frankenstein's Monster- Brad Garrett
Inga- Tina Fey
Elizabeth- Julia Louis-Dreyfuss
Inspector Kemp- John C. Riley
Harold, The Blind Man- Leonardo DiCaprio
Acting is behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances.

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.

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.

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!!!

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!

^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.

Lets not bother . It is a great movie period. Why do people waste their time talking about recasts and remakes ? . A classic film should be left alone.

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.
God invented boobs to make men happy, but Adam pissed him off so he attached them to women.

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.
"check the imdb cast list before asking who portrayed who in movies"

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???
"Have I had an abortion? I've had more kids pulled out of me than a burning orphanage."

Agree, let's leave well alone.
Hollywood NEEDS to start writing new 'classics' like this again!
STOP this horrible remake nonsense.

No, let's not.

To me, if not this cast, there's only one other cast that can do it. That's the original musical Broadway cast, which I think are a tiny bit better than the movie cast:
Frederick: Roger Bart (must, has to be, no other)
Igor: Christopher Fitzgerald
Inga: Sutton Foster (better than Teri Garr)
Frau Blucher: Andrea Martin
Monster: Shuler Hensley
Elizabeth: Megan Mullalay
Inspector Kemp: Fred Applegate
Hermit: Fred Applegate

How we gonna pay last year's RENT?!

I'm of the opinion that the original cast is one of - if not
the

• best comedy ensembles ever assembled. Peak performers at the top of their powers. That said, since this is purely hypothetical fantasy and won't perpetrate any real sacrilege against the sanctity of the original, I'm game. Here's my cast for Young Frankenstein Jr.:
  Dr. Frankenstein - Bill Hader
  Igor - Jon Glaser
  Inga - Alison Brie
  The Monster - Christopher Meloni
  Elizabeth - Elizabeth Banks
  Inspector Kemp - Jermaine Clement
  Blindman - Albert Brooks
  Frau Blucher - Kristen Schaal
  with an adapted screenplay by Vernon Chatman and all directed by Gaspar Noe. Only in dreams .

In fact, that whole concept started out with Gene Wilder. That was his baby. And you can tell the parts that Mel Brooks added to it, and they're somewhat over-the-top. Sort of schmaltzy comedy. He was the type of guy who, like in
Blacking Saddles
, would have a man humping a statue. Wilder is the type of humor that would have the doctor turning the creature into a "man about town."
