Mike Judge is working on a live action version of Beavis & Butthead, and guess who wants to play Beavis. Yep. Johnny Depp. That really wasn't that hard of a guess was it? I mean I did type Johnny's name and Beavis up their in the headline so it wasn't really a guess along the lines of who came up with pi or something.
Anyway, according to Mike, Johnny does a great Beavis impression, and thinks he would work really well in the role. Judge has previously said he would never do a live action version of the cartoon but apparently has changed his mind. Money will do that. Lots of money really makes you enthusiastic about it which is what Judge is now.
What about Butthead? Mike likes Seann William Scott. I think that would be a great choice also. It's been too long since the world was all doing a Beavis & Butthead impression. I think it has been like 12 years since the movie was released and so the television show must have been before that. Wow. Now everyone who goes will be taking their own kids and letting them in on the love that is Beavis & Butthead. Below are the best parts of the movie. Nine minutes of viewing puts you nine minutes closer to leaving work today.

As much as I love Beavis and Butthead, and Mike Judge, and Johnny Depp...I don't think this sounds like a good idea.
ReplyDeleteheeheeheeheehee he said hard.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree, this is about 10 years too late.
This is the BEST idea EVER!!
ReplyDeletejesus this shit wasn't funny 12 years ago.
ReplyDeleteThis sucks. Change it.
ReplyDeleteAre you threatening me?!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf anybody could pull it off and make it funny, it would be Johnny Depp.
ReplyDeletePlease God, noooooooooo!!!! I LOVE beavis and Butthead, but leave them as cartoons!!!! We have already seen what Hollywood does to our beloved characters(Garfield, Speed Racer), and you know they will screw this up as well! Hell, the reason B&B were so good was because it was cartton form. A lot of the things that are funny on a cartoon won't work live action!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! I was a HUUUUUUUGE Beavis & Butthead fan back in the day - LOVED the show, LOVED the movie - I would watch this! I wouldn't expect it to be all that good LOL but I would SO watch it! And I'd love to see Johnny's take on it...hehe
ReplyDeleteEver since the first moment I laid eyes on him I knew that Tate Donovan was meant to play the role of Butthead. As far as Beavis, well that role can only belong to a bleach-blonded Joaquin Phoenix.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I really liked Beavis and Butthead (hangs head in shame). My favorite moment was when there was a shot of Barbara Bush on the TV they were watching and one of them said, "It's the chick from the one dollar bill!" hahahahaha. I still laugh. I guess you had to be there.
