Sometimes when I ask why they keep going on and on with them, people tell me "there's already a built-in fanbase" or "the name is already bankable". So there's probably a good chance that these films are, in fact, intended to also rope in older fans already interested in the original movies. "Guy named Squeamy got thrown from the fifth floor. He's deader'n a mackerel."

Jul 12 11 10:25 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	This was being discussed over on DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD; while some posters (probably not that familiar with the original) liked Depp for the role (and pretty much assumed Burton would direct), there were a few actual fans of the show. One suggested bringing back David Chase to write it; another put forward Bill Murray as Kolchak, which even some of Johnny's fans seemed to like. I suggested Stuart Gordon as director (figuring no one there would even know who he is), and a woman offered to have my child!

It was Kolchak's quirkiness that made the movies and shows fun. I'm not sure about Murray. I think he'd play Kolchak as an older but still just-as-smarmy Peter Venkman (the way he played way too many characters over his career). Besides, I wouldn't believe Murray in a seer-sucker suit and vented boater.

Jul 12 11 3:05 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Bill Murray as Kolchak???? Oh, God no. He is easily one of the most overrated performers ever - big or small screen. He'd be an unmitigated disaster in that role. I will admit, Murray aside, no one could ever carry Darren Mcgavin's sneakers in the role of Kolchak. Period.
