The 'Burbs remake

Yeah Woody Harroldson would fit the role of Rumsfield. He's a great actor and I liked him in 7 psychos, and he was phenominal in True Detective.

I think the Zombieland Harroldson would work great as a 2014 version of Rumsfield.
 
I think the way Woody acted in some of The Hunger Games would work well for Rumsfield. The straggly hair fits too! Although in the original screenplay Rumsfield was described as having a crew cut, wasn't he? For an ex army guy that sounds about right, but now that Bruce Dern was so right with his longer hair the crew cut just seems all wrong...
 
Here's my cast made up of other people's fantastic suggestions and a couple of my own:

Ray: Jason Bateman

Art: Tyler Labine

Rumsfield: Woody Harrelson

Ricky: Kieran Culkin - Was great in Scott Pilgrim vs the World and it would be fun seeing him play a spaced out teenager.

Carol: Amy Adams - She's a fantastic actress which would be great for portraying a character who is in many ways a nagging wife and a bit of a buzzkill but still extremely likeable.

Bonnie: Emma Stone - She's a great comedic actress, attractive too and it would be funny to see her play a slightly ditzy trophy wife

Dr Werner Klopek: Cristoph Waltz

Reuben Klopek: ?

Hans Klopek: Caleb Landry Jones

I really like Amy Adams. She might make a really good Carol actually. She'd look good in the summer dresses too :)
 
The more I think about it, the more I become convinced that Christoph Waltz would indeed be the perfect choice for Werner Klopek...yeah, THE perfect choice.

That's my favorite list so far.

Brother Theodore really is hard to replace. There isn't anyone quite like him out there in the comedy world.

Love it! But what about Mila Kunis as Bonnie? She's hella hot, but she's also hilarious and (as her performance on That 70s Show proves) she can play a great dingbat. :)

It would probably work best if some unknown actor played him. A lot of roles in The Burbs would work well with unknown actors. At the time I first saw The Burbs, I'd never seen a LOT of the cast in anything before. Obviously I'd seen Tom, Bruce, Carrie, and Corey before, but maybe none of the others.

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...

Actually, Kris, on second thought, I would pay good money to Scarlett as Bonnie...like, she could pooh-pooh Rumsfield's paranoia at the beginning, but once it was obvious that the Klopeks were up to something, she would have it figured out and be torching the house within minutes.

IDK, maybe I just really love the idea of Bonnie secretly being more badass than Mark. :D

Amy Adams would look radiant in the dresses Carrie Fisher wears in this film.
