Sure, it\’s gonna be a tough one to pull off.
REALLY tough. But (and as a fan of the original trio I can\’t even believe I\’m saying this) _not impossible_ to pull off.

As to the celebrity status of the actors in question, what the HELL does it matter if the leads are unknown or semi-known actors????? If they have the comedy chops and the timing, it could actually work. Granted, that aspect remains to be seen. BUT— if they rise to the occasion it should be noted that various drafts of the script have been seen by a few journalists, who have reported that judging by what they saw on the page, the \”attitude\” and \”tone\” of the piece is pretty true to the original shorts.

I\’ll grant that it may be a longshot…but perhaps not quite the longshot that the naysayers and fan-nerds predict.
I\’m one fan-nerd knucklehead who\’s keeping an open mind about this one.

He was also one of the regulars on that Shatner sitcom last year.

Again, that\’s not a show I liked in any way, but when someone is a star of multiple, heavily hyped network TV series (one of which was quite successful), I just don\’t think you can say unknown. Especially when the example of someone \”known\” is \”the supporting star from Will & Grace.\”
