Recast ENCINO MAN (1992)

I watched the Inkheart trailer today and it reminded me of that time in the early 90's when the only person cooler than Brendan Fraser was Pauly Shore.

I was really inspired by Encino Man when I was 11, but now the "wheezing the juice" clip feels outdated. What do you think, could a new version of Encino Man inspire a whole new generation of kids?

Recast Encino Man. Do it for the children. Best recast gets a Spout t-shirt, and I wish I could say it was from Hypercolor. Winner announced on Friday, 1/23.

Watch the Encino Man trailer.

ENCINO MAN (1992)

Sean Astin     ...     Dave Morgan

Brendan Fraser    ...     Link

Pauly Shore    ...     Stoney Brown, the Weasel

Megan Ward    ...     Robyn Sweeney

Robin Tunney    ...     Ella (has the hots for Link)

Michael DeLuise    ...     Matt Wilson (the villain)

Rick Ducommun    ...     Mr. Brush

(For the life of me, I can't remember how Mr. Brush fit into the movie, but I love that guy Rick Ducommon. He was one of the two boneheads that Bill Murray hangs out with in Groundhog Day.)

If I remember correctly he was the Driver's Ed teacher that freaks out when Link tries to drive and puts it on its side and drives on two wheels.

Encino Man: College Rocks (get it, caveman . . . rocks)

Sequel to the original - now at college where an evil anthropology professor wants to do mean experiments on Link but he just wants to party and do cave drawings on some nubile coed flesh! 

Dave Morgan - Michael Angarano (dorky leading man material)

Link - Taylor Kitsch (long hair, muscles, probably grunts too)

Stoney - James Franco (because he'll be typecast as a stoner forever now)

Robyn - Mila Kunis (can be the cute, yet wild, girl next door)

Ella - Kelli Garner (plays the bitchy snob like nobody else)

Matt - Chris Pratt (he just looks like an ______)

Mr. Brush - Stephen Colbert (cause they need to sell tickets somehow!)

That sounds right; thanks man!

Where angels fear to tread, Mercurial rushes in. And God bless him, this is a great recast. Merc, you should put this recast on a resume and send it to National Lampoon's.

So would Stephen Colbert play the villain?

I especially love your picks for the three main men. Franco's excellence goes without saying, you're right about Angarano playing a likable dork (Sky High), and isn't Taylor Kitsch that pothead who died while trying to join the Mile High Club in Snakes on a Plane? Nice touch dude.
