The 'Burbs remake

This is my list so far

Werner Klopek - Christoph Waltz (great minds think alike)
Hans Klopek - Chris Owen
Reuben Klopek -

Walter Seznick - Bruce Dern (great idea Kris Klopek)

Bonnie Rumsfield - Scarlet Johansson (gotta have the hottest piece of meat)
Mark Rumsfield -

Art Weingartner - Seth Rogan ( I think he can pull it off)

Carol Peterson -
Ray Peterson -
Dave Peterson -

Ricky Butler -

Garbage Man 1 -
Garbage Man 2 -

Detective 1 -
Detective 2 -

It's really hard to pick actors for the Petersons and Ricky Butler. 10 years ago I would probably suggest Sean William Scott for the role of Ricky but he's too old these days. Can't really think of anyone.
 
What about Kevin James as Art? He's got the size and has the same kind of childish/jokingly attitude.

I can't think of any recent teenage stoner dudes? Who could play Ricky Butler and friends?

Not a bad start. But you're right, some of these roles are almost impossible to imagine being played by anyone else...

I think most of us would secretly (or openly) hate any Burbs remake, no matter how well it was done. But I still think it's fun to imagine who might play the parts, and how the film would be different if it were set in 2014.

I think 10 or 15 years ago Sean Penn could have been a very interesting Ray Peterson...
 
I also like the idea of Kevin James as Art as proposed by DavePeterson. I believe it would fit.

You know, for some reason some of the "Hangover" cast just came to my mind.

Bradley Cooper as your everyday (probably a little too handsome) neighbour Ray Peterson and especially Zach Galifianakis as the modern version of Art.

Dude, either Seth Rogan or Zach G would be great as Art! I definitely agree that Bradley Cooper is too hot to be Ray...but that's just me. ;)

And Scarlett Johansson is too hot to be Bonnie, but I can live with her slightly inappropriate casting for the gardening scene alone (and the nightie scene with Queenie, now that I think about it).

Alice Eve anyone? *Sigh*, she's simply gorgeous.

Scarlett J. is WAY to badass to be Bonnie...I mean, have you SEEN Avengers?

You're probably right. I also just saw Under The Skin the other day. If Scarlett played Bonnie in The Burbs she'd probably lead all 3 of the Klopeks into a black pool of death and the whole film would be over in about 12 minutes...

I didn't know her by name when you mentioned her, although now I realise I've seen her in a few things. You're right, she's gorgeous, and she could work really well as Bonnie!
 
I still think Woody Harrelson would make a great Rumsfield. Has anyone else seen him in Seven Psychopaths?

And Chris Owen as Hans is a great fit. He even has the look about him.

I think Tyler Labine would make a great Art.

People I wouldn't want: Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Kevin James. Or any actors prominent in Judd Apatow's films. Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, etc. They are all funny, but just don't fit the 'Burbs type of humor.
