Well, which current actors would an AI cast for a remake? I asked three different tools.
How do you like the answers? Man, I definitely like the ChatGPT version most, but it's surely an expensive casting choice. But imagine it, this would certainly be awesome.
<u>My prompt:</u>
Imagine if the movie "The Burbs" from 1989 was being remade. It's the same plot, but the roles are to be played by current actors. Suggest which role you would cast with which actor and give a brief explanation.
<u>The answers:</u>
<font color="#ff1717"><u>ChatGPT:</u></font>
Sure, here are my casting suggestions for a remake of "The Burbs" with current actors:
Ray Peterson (originally played by Tom Hanks): I would cast Paul Rudd for this role. He has the comedic chops to pull off the everyman character who gets caught up in the neighborhood mystery. His likability and ability to convey both humor and vulnerability would make him a great fit.
Art Weingartner (originally played by Rick Ducommun): For Art's role, I'd choose Seth Rogen. He has a knack for playing quirky, lovable characters, and his comedic timing would bring a lot of energy to the role of Ray's eccentric neighbor.
Mark Rumsfield (originally played by Bruce Dern): Bryan Cranston would be perfect for this role. He has the intensity and range to portray Mark's paranoid and militaristic tendencies, while still infusing the character with depth and humor.
Carol Peterson (originally played by Carrie Fisher): Emily Blunt would be my pick for Carol. She has the versatility to play both the supportive wife and the voice of reason amidst the chaos of the neighborhood, bringing a sense of grounding to the film.
Ricky Butler (originally played by Corey Feldman): For the role of the teenage neighbor, I'd choose Noah Centineo. He has the charm and charisma to portray Ricky's laid-back demeanor, while still being able to inject some youthful energy into the role.
Hans Klopek (originally played by Courtney Gains): I'd cast Michael Shannon for this role. He has a commanding presence and can portray a character with an underlying sense of menace and mystery. Shannon's ability to convey complexity and intensity would make him a compelling choice for the enigmatic Hans Klopek.
Dr. Werner Klopek (originally played by Henry Gibson): I'd select Christoph Waltz for this role. Waltz has a knack for playing characters with a sense of charm and intelligence, but also with a hint of darkness. His ability to switch between affable and sinister would add depth to the character of Dr. Werner Klopek.
Reuben Klopek (originally played by Brother Theodore): For Reuben, I'd cast Willem Dafoe. Dafoe is known for his ability to play eccentric and intense characters, and he would bring a sense of unpredictability and eccentricity to the role of the quiet, mysterious Reuben Klopek.

Certainly! Let’s reimagine “The 'Burbs” with a fresh cast of talented actors. Here are my picks:
Ray Peterson (originally played by Tom Hanks):
Jason Sudeikis: Known for his comedic timing and affable charm, Sudeikis would bring a relatable everyman quality to the role. His ability to balance humor and vulnerability would make him an excellent fit for Ray Peterson. Imagine him as the curious neighbor who becomes obsessed with investigating the mysterious Klopek family.
Mark Rumsfield (originally played by Bruce Dern):
Walton Goggins: Goggins has a knack for portraying quirky characters with depth. His intensity and offbeat charisma would make Mark Rumsfield memorable. Picture him as the ex-military neighbor who leads the neighborhood watch and is convinced that the Klopeks are up to no good.
Carol Peterson (originally played by Carrie Fisher):
Anne Hathaway: Hathaway’s versatility and emotional range would breathe new life into Carol Peterson. She could capture the mix of curiosity, concern, and wit that defines the character. Imagine her as the supportive wife who encourages Ray’s investigation while trying to keep the peace in the neighborhood.
Art Weingartner (originally played by Rick Ducommun):
Jason Segel: Segel’s comedic chops and endearing awkwardness would make him a perfect Art Weingartner. He’d bring a lovable goofiness to the role of the nosy neighbor who joins Ray’s quest to uncover the Klopeks’ secrets.
Ricky Butler (originally played by Corey Feldman):
Nick Robinson: Robinson’s youthful energy and relatability would suit Ricky Butler. Imagine him as the teenager who assists Ray and Art, capturing evidence on his smartphone. His tech-savvy approach would add a modern twist to the character.
Bonnie Rumsfield (originally played by Wendy Schaal):
Ali Larter: Larter’s charisma and strong presence would elevate Bonnie Rumsfield. She’d portray the sassy and opinionated neighbor who isn’t afraid to challenge Mark’s theories. Picture her as the voice of reason amidst the chaos.
Dr. Werner Klopek (originally played by Henry Gibson):
August Maturo: Maturo, known for his role in “Girl Meets World,” could bring an eerie innocence to Dr. Werner Klopek. Imagine him as the enigmatic neighbor who keeps to himself, leaving the neighborhood guessing about his true intentions.
Reuben Klopek (originally played by Brother Theodore):
Eugene Levy: Levy’s deadpan humor and quirky sensibility would make Reuben Klopek unforgettable. He’d be the eccentric artist who adds an element of mystery to the plot. Picture him as the neighbor who paints unsettling portraits in his basement.
Hans Klopek (originally played by Courtney Gains):
T.J. Miller: Miller’s offbeat humor and expressive face would suit Hans Klopek. Imagine him as the youngest Klopek family member, perpetually misunderstood by the neighborhood. His antics would keep everyone guessing.
In this revamped version, the chemistry between the cast would create a delightful blend of comedy, mystery, and neighborly intrigue.
