If they ever made this into a movie (And they might since Hollywood is out of Ideas), who would star in this film?
Because I can see Queen Latifah as Nell.

Because I can see Queen Latifah as Nell. Scoobiedoo30 02-01-2008, 02:21 PM I can also see Queen Latifah as Nell Dean Winchester 02-02-2008, 03:20 AM I agree, Queen would make a great Nell. I could see someone like Dan Aykroyd (with his hair dyed grey) as Chief Jrog 02-02-2008, 06:52 PM I can't remember the names of the daughers (or some of the actresses I'm about to run off:) ) , but ... - Sarah Silverman as the daughter that wore the glasses - Jessica Alba as "The Pretty one" - The girl from ICarly/ Josh and Josh as the "tom boy" (was that character's name Sam?) Robert 13 02-06-2008, 10:52 AM Hey, if it hyped up more dvd releases, I'm all for it. Could see Queen Latifah playing Nell. Would be a great idea. Who could play the chief? Maybe Joey Lawrence could have a cameo playing a neighborhood boy-next-door. Skywalker 02-06-2008, 10:43 PM Nell - Sherri Shepherd The Chief - John Goodman Katie - Hayden Panettiere Ireneparalegal 02-06-2008, 10:44 PM As long as they don't use Mo'Nique. Dean Winchester 02-06-2008, 11:11 PM how about Loretta Devine? She reminds me of Nell in her voice. greelywinger 02-09-2008, 08:43 PM OK, I can see John Goodman as Carl & Queen Latifah as Nell. What about the girls... I need actresses names, so I can look them up on IMDB. What about Simpson & Addy & Joey? Looked up Hayden Panettiere on youtube (too ditzy). Katie must appear to be not too bright, but not ditzy. desilu #1 02-10-2008, 04:27 PM I can't remember the names of the daughers (or some of the actresses I'm about to run off:) ) , but ... - Sarah Silverman as the daughter that wore the glasses - Jessica Alba as "The Pretty one" - The girl from ICarly/ Josh and Josh as the "tom boy" (was that character's name Sam?) Katie was the oldest (Blond) Julie was the middle girl (glasses) Samantha was the youngest greelywinger 02-10-2008, 11:23 PM No Sarah Silverman!! RE: The girl from ICarly/ Josh and Josh (What's her name?) Not too sure about Jessica Alba, but she's better than Hayden Panettiere. Dean Winchester 02-10-2008, 11:30 PM Sarah Silverman is 37 years old. Granted, they cast people out of their teens to play teenager characters, but I think being born in 1970 is pushing it just a hair greelywinger 02-12-2008, 11:06 AM It's not how old you are, it's how convincing you are to that role. Look at Michael J. Fox in Family Ties. He was over 21 playing a teenager, it just worked. How about Ashley Tisdale from High School Musical as Katie? Darryl Dean Winchester 02-12-2008, 02:50 PM true, but there is a big difference between someone in their early or mid 20's playing a teen, and someone whose 20 year anniversary is coming up. Sarah and Latifah are the same age, would be very awkward if both were in the movie together and Latifah is Nell and Sarah's supposed to be 16. :lol: greelywinger 02-12-2008, 04:37 PM So far... Queen Latifah as Nell John Goodman as Carl Ashley Tisdale as Katie ????????????? as Julie ????????????? as Samantha ????????????? as Joey ????????????? as Grandpa ????????????? as Addy Richard Mull as Simpson Give me your sugestions for the rest of the cast. hughpuppies 02-17-2008, 06:48 AM Look at Jason Earles, he plays a teenager Jackson on Hannah Montana and he was born April 26th, 1977. Doesn't matter how old you are if you con convence people your a teenager than it will work. hughpuppies 02-17-2008, 07:22 AM So far... Queen Latifah as Nell John Goodman as Carl Ashley Tisdale as Katie ????????????? as Julie ????????????? as Samantha ????????????? as Joey ????????????? as Grandpa ????????????? as Addy ????????????? as Simpson Give me your sugestions for the rest of the cast. Richard Mull(who played on Night Court) as Simpson, Richard can and has played a cop (almost a cop) and has played a sort of a stupid character as simpson was, and is tall like Simpson. Emily Osment from Hannah Montana as Julie Either Erin Sanders or Selena Gomez(might be to young) as Samantha Either Cole or Dylan Sprouts(from suite life of zack and cody) as Joey Michael Caine, when he wears his glasses, as Grandpa Telma Hopkins could play herself as Addy like she did in the tv show Joey's younger brother Cole or Dylan Sprouts. Let me know what you think. Only 2 I think I got right, Simpson and Julie, the others I just took a wild stab at. greelywinger 02-17-2008, 05:55 PM OK, I can see Richard Mull as Simpson. I will go bavck and update my earlier post to reflect this. I will check out the others you mentioned. I agree with your earlier comment... Doesn't matter how old you are if you can convence people your a teenager than it will work. Dean Winchester 02-17-2008, 05:59 PM Either Cole or Dylan Sprouts(from suite life of zack and cody) as Joey well, those kids are about 15 now (remember that it's been nine years since Big Daddy), Joey was about 6 when he came onto the show hughpuppies 02-18-2008, 11:14 PM well, those kids are about 15 now (remember that it's been nine years since Big Daddy), Joey was about 6 when he came onto the show Well no one ever said at what point of the show they wanted to do a movie at. So I took a stab. Now if your thinking 6 then I have no idea then. greelywinger 02-19-2008, 06:47 PM Telma Hopkins could play herself as Addy like she did in the tv show Yeah, Addy would be hard to cast. Nell and Addy are best friends. We need someone that will work well oposite Queen Latifah. Michael Caine, when he wears his glasses, as Grandpa I'm thinking he's too tall. We don't want him as tall as Simpson. I still have to check out the others, but I'd have to say no on Either Cole or Dylan Sprouts(from suite life of zack and cody) as Joey. I am checking out videos on youtube to get a feel for how they would be in the roles. Here's my revised cast list Queen Latifah as Nell John Goodman as Carl Ashley Tisdale as Katie ????????????? as Julie ????????????? as Samantha ????????????? as Joey ????????????? as Grandpa ????????????? as Addy Richard Mull as Simpson Smartboy 08-19-2008, 12:03 AM Because I have not been successful in stimulating any conversation with any of my recent posts or bringing any of the old ones up to the top, I thought that I would try this one. I think that a movie based on this series would be really cool! However, because I do not know a whole lot about actors and actresses who are presently of the age groups that the characters were then, I cannot offer any suggestions as to who would be good in the parts. However, I am sure that Hollywood could find people who could do a pretty decent job! Do people reading this post think that it would do better on the big screen or as a movie made for television?

At first I was thinking "Give ME a Break" when I read the topic, but that is a great idea for Queen Latifah to play Nell. She sings and she would be perfect for the part! I haven't seen GMAB in ages, but I really liked it! I would have to watch some of the episodes before deciding who should play whom. As far as a movie is concerned, it might work as a big screen movie or even a straight-to DVD movie. Maybe a TV movie as well. Andrea Smartboy 08-19-2008, 08:58 PM I am glad to see that this page if finely getting some action after such a long time! So far, I have checked several pages on this site, and there are more then a few posts. I am very happy to see that there are still people out there willing to post what they think! ThomasE 10-17-2008, 08:58 PM Nell - Sherri Shepherd BINGO! :D ThomasE 01-25-2009, 07:58 PM Sherri Shepard- Nellie Ruth Harper Robert S. Woods- Stanley "Chief" Kanisky Alexa Havins- Katie Kanisky greelywinger 02-01-2009, 07:12 PM Sherri Shepard- Nellie Ruth Harper Robert S. Woods- Stanley "Chief" Kanisky Alexa Havins- Katie Kanisky The only one out of those names I can see as a possibility is Robert S. Woods- Stanley "Chief" Kanisky But he'd have to be able to play cynical without being stupid. Like the clueless deadpan look Chief used to give.If he could do that well he would make a great chief. As for Nell, I still go with Queen Latifah. Nell needs to have an in your face attitude. Sherri Shepard doesn't have it but Queen Latifah.
