No, he basically carried that film.
Agreed, but Mary McDonnell as the mother is also absolutely amazing.
I don’t think so. I can’t think of another actor in that time that would have been a better fit for the role.
Ashton Kutcher
Jesus mate, I don’t think anyone found that funny. Sorry bud.
Yeah this place has no class.
Nick Cage, that goes for any movie as well.
Muppets Donnie Darko where everyone is played by Muppets except Frank who’s now played by Jake Gyllenhaal without any costume.
In my book, that puts Bean Bunny in the role of Darko, just so there’s a reversal of the “Why are you wearing that stupid bunny suit?” jibe and counter-jibe.
I mean, Muppet Christmas Carol kept Fozzie out of the rest of the movie just so they could make a Fezziwig/Fozziwig pun, so such a massive cast decision for the sake of one gag isn’t out of the question.
Now, there are other rabbits in the Muppet cast, but I think Bean is the best known, and probably has the most range to go from cute to creepy without it being too obvious from his appearance.
The firing of Bean’s voice actor (Steve Whitmire) makes this somewhat less likely, but I think they could recast Bean’s voice more easily than for Rizzo “ain’t comin’ back until Steve does” Rat or Kermit, and they weren’t all that picky about Kermit.
