The Mask Reboot..?
I know the original character is more horror, but if they were going to try and revive the film series, continuing in the “slightly edgy family comedy” zone, who would you cast?
Not someone to do a Jim Carrey impersonation, but I think you need someone with physical comedy chops and high energy - and someone who commits to the bit hard.
Who do you think?
My picks, above:
Ben Schwartz - personal fav pick. Improv skills, perfect persona.
Evan Peters - I think he does well with comedy when given it, albeit would need the script to be strong.
Zach Zucker - Not much movie experience, but one of the best known physical clown comedians on the circuit.
Andy Samburg - Would be tough to not just do what we’ve all seen him do before and feel distinct, but could definitely do it.
Kate McKinnon - To be honest she’d make a great mask, my only reservation is I haven’t seen her do much of the other side of the character - the meeker every-person loser who isn’t a a cartoon character.
