LITTLE SHOP Remake starring Rebel Wilson and Josh Gad?

I actually kinda like this casting. It's a bit unconventional, which is refreshing. I still hope Megan Hilty does a live broadcast version one day, but for a major film, I'm on board with these choices.

Rebel Wilson = NO

I love Rebel Wilson because, like me, she's about as subtle as a jackhammer. That being said, she does not belong anywhere near Audrey.

Sign me the fu*k up for Josh Gad as Seymour. I like Rebel, but I can't see her at all as Audrey. Why not Lady Gaga?

Why not stick with Jake Gyllenhaal --- with Lady Gaga as Audrey?

Not really on board with Rebel as Audrey. Her singing is fine but it's also kind of generic. No offense to anyone who was in the Broadway cast of Little Shop, but I think that Disney-fied version proved that Little Shop needs a little quirk and unique voices to bring it to life. Also, is anyone else concerned by the "updated musical version" portion of the article? Does this just mean a remake, or a modern take/different time period type thing? Not sure this show works in a different decade, or god forbid a different musical genre.

Let's file this under:

Unwatchable

Worst idea I've read in ages. They're both so unsavory and just not right and just no.

What the hell

I've never understood why people prefer the original ending. Is it just because it's the original, or do you genuinely find it more satisfying? Because I think it's awful,

Love Rebel and believe she is far more versatile than her haters believe, and would be intrigued to see her in this role.

Gad is the one I find incessantly annoying and think he's a terrible choice.

What exactly is the "Audrey type"? Audrey is a rather naive woman with a Jersey Shore sense of class, highly co-dependent, easily influenced and allows her low self-esteem to keep her in an abusive relationship with a sadistic physically abusive bully boyfriend. Nobody thinks Rebel Wilson could pull that off while simultaneously maintaining a sense of light comedy? And Lady Gaga is such a better actress and comedian? LOL Okay.

I like both Gad and Wilson, so I'm okay with it.

Yes!!!!!!!!

I loved Gad in Book of Mormon. And his supporting roles. But a film with him as lead. Especially THIS remake? I'm not sure I want to see that much of him.

a) no one has been cast.

b) be sure to let me know when this actually happens because

c) for now it's just a press agent placing a story on Deadline, who exists primarily for that reason.
