  1. The 'Burbs remake

    You're probably right. I was just trying to think of a way to give the remake a more contemporary feel . But I agree that nobody is ever going to best Rick Ducommon's performance as Art. He really nailed it and hit it out of the park, and nobody could ever play that role better. I was rewatching...
  2. The 'Burbs remake

    He's probably a little young, but Jonah Hill might make a good Art in a few years time. With the right material (as in Superbad, 21 Jump Street or The Wolf of Wall Street) he can be very funny and a surprisingly good actor. And does the overweight sidekick thing very well. Having said that, he...
  3. THE 'BURBS Screenplay?

    Just received my copy Kris, thank you so much! Really looking forward to reading this. The first thing I noticed is that the draft is 118 pages. The rough rule of thumb for a movie script is that a page equals a minute of screen time - so 118 pages would equal roughly 1 hour 58 minutes.. The...

  7. Favorite scene?

    The Sergio Leone homage in the scene where Ray and Art dare each other to go and ring the Klopeks' doorbell for the first time is epic. Love it when the "Once Upon A TIme in The West" music kicks in and the wind starts to blow ominously as they walk towards the house, intercut with "Spaghetti...
  8. THE 'BURBS Screenplay?

    Oh wow, I hope the script turns up for you Kris! I've discovered that two versions of the script are available from this site, and you can order them in hard-copy or electronic (PDF) format :- https://www.scriptfly.com/searchpage/resultpage.php?search=b But I'm a poor student andI can't...
  9. Any movie that gives you the same feeling as The 'Burbs?

    DISTURBIA is something like a teen version of The 'Burbs. And AFTER HOURS has that late 80's black comedy tone.
  10. THE 'BURBS Screenplay?

    Hi guys. I just joined the site and this is my first post. I recently rewatched The 'Burbs for the first time in several years and fell in love with this wonderful movie all over again! I'm trying to locate a copy of the screenplay, and wonder if anyone out there has it? Preferably a scan in PDF...
