Composer: A film score (also sometimes called film music, background music, or incidental music) is original music written specifically to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects, and comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question.
Carter Burwell [Notable Works: Fargo, The Big Lebowski, True Grit]: His work in Fargo and the other Coen films is why he would be perfect. He can transition family and character themes and do a wonderful job. He would do a fantastic job getting the tone and themes of the show and transition them into a feature film.
Screenwriter: A screenplay or script is a written work by screenwriters for a film, video game or television program. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as a teleplay.
Steve Faber & Bob Fisher [Notable Works: Married With Children {Original T.V. Seires}, Wedding Crashers, We're The Millers]: The comedic duo have been pretty popular in the film industry. They know this show well and if anyone can really tackle an appropriate big screen reboot of the series it's them.
Director: Directors are responsible for overseeing creative aspects of a film under the overall control of the film producer. They often develop the vision for a film and carry out the vision, deciding how the film should look, in other words they make their vision come to life. They are responsible for turning the script into a sequence of shots. They also direct what tone it should have and what an audience should gain from the cinematic experience. Film directors are responsible for deciding camera angles, lens effects and lighting with the help of the cinematographer and set design with the production designer. They will often take part in hiring the cast and key crew members. They coordinate the actors' moves, or blocking and also may be involved in the writing, financing and editing of a film.
Jay Roach [Notable Works: Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery]: He's a great director. He's done a wonderful job with family dynamic comedies. His work on Meet the parents made the film iconic for many people and his well done work of the family dynamic and transitioning conflict along them make him a prime choice to direct this.
Al Bundy [Height: 6' 1", Age: Late 30's - Early 40's]: The head of the Bundy family, Al Bundy is doomed to fail in all aspirations because of the "Bundy curse." Once a promising fullback for fictional Polk High School (his proudest moment in life was scoring four touchdowns in a single game), he was on his way to college on a scholarship until he impregnated his girlfriend, married her, broke his leg, and ended up a shoe salesman at "Gary's Shoes" in the "New Market Mall", located in an incorporated area of suburban Chicago. Al often spends time attempting to recapture his glory days, but is usually undermined in spectacular fashion by frequent bad luck and poor judgment. He considers his family to be the cause of his failures, and his resentment of them (and fear of having sex with his wife) provides much of the show's humor.
Jason Clarke [Height: 6' 2", Age: 44, Notable Works: Lawless, The Great Gatsby, The Human Contract]: Al is an Icon. I have no true desire to see Ed O'Neill ever replaced but this is a me trying to make the best of a Reboot. Jason is a wonderful actor. It's no doubt that Al was by far the hardest role to get. I went through many ideas, from mainstream comedians, to indy-comics, I looked all over for the perfect actor for Al. In the end I chose Jason, not just because of his slight resemblance to Al, but because of his talent. He really had the look, style, and talent to represent Al and That was important. He's a good actor, he's done some comedies and he's getting some real heat as of late, so to cast him as Al felt like a very comfortable move.
Peg Bundy [Height: 5' 9", Age: Late 30's - Early 40's]: Margaret "Peggy" Wanker Bundy is Al's lazy, self-indulgent wife. She refuses to cook or clean the house, and prefers purchasing new clothes to washing the old ones. She refuses to consider taking a job. She cites her laziness as family tradition, getting upset with Kelly when she gets a job. She claims that Wanker women never work, and in old pioneer days, "Wanker women were getting their hair done while Wanker men got theirs scalped." During the day, she likes to watch all the daytime talk shows, sitting on the living room couch, and eating copious amounts of bonbons (without ever gaining weight). Her favorite TV shows are Oprah and Donahue, but she also enjoys watching the Shop at Home Network. Peggy is a redhead with a bouffant hairdo and she usually wears combinations of outdated 1980s and 1960s-styled fashion with skintight Spandex pants and shirts, and (usually open-toed) stiletto heels, which make her walk in a unique way.
Christina Hendricks [Height: 5' 7", Age: 38, Notable Works: Mad Men, Drive, Life as We Know It]: She's a lovely actress. And like Katy Segal she is a beautiful woman, and a wonderful actress. She has been used to the Sixties clothing that has become a staple of the character, and she has the beautiful red head part down. She would do wonders in the role, she would certainly gain the spirit of the character and certainly add her own charm into the role. She would do fantastic.
Kelly Bundy [Height: 5' 5", Age: Late Teens - Early 20's]: Kelly Bundy is the older child in the Bundy family, born November 27, 1972 or sometime before February 19. "Pumpkin," as Al often calls her, is promiscuous, tends to hang out with "slacker" guys, and exemplifies the stereotypical "dumb blonde." She may have inherited her behavior from her mother, known as "The Big Easy" in high school. Al is dismayed by Kelly's promiscuity. He tends to treat her various questionable love interests with a combination of derision and violence; in numerous episodes, he leads them to the front door, feigning friendliness, only to walk them head-first into the wall before tossing them out the door.
Emma Stone [Height: 5' 6", Age: 25, Notable Works: The Amazing Spider-Man, Gangster Squad, The Help]: Emma is a sweet actress and a lovely young woman. She's such a wonderful actress that she could really gel with the role and play it very very well. She's great for the role and could really do as well in the role as Christina Applegate. If there is anyone who can dominate this role and make it there own, it's Emma!
Bud Bundy [Height: 5' 3", Age: Mid Teens]: Budrick Franklin Bundy is the second child, born on January 22, 1975. He was named after Al's favorite beer, Budweiser. he excelled in school as opposed to Kelly who morphed into an underachiever and eventually a stereotypically dumb blonde bimbo. Bud believes himself to be attractive, sexy, and smooth, but is frequently caught in sexually humiliating scenarios.
Chandler Riggs [Height: 5' 4", Age: 14, Notable Works: Walking Dead, Get Low, The Wronged Man]: Chandler is a popular young actor, and he's got some real heart. He's around the right age to really "Pick up" on the characters lives if a reboot were to occur and it would allow him to play a very very different character from Carl.
Steven Bartholomew Rhoades [Height: 5' 9 1/2", Age: Late 30's - Mid 40's]: Steve is Marcy's first husband He is a banker who seems unfazed by his lower position than Marcy at the city bank. (When Marcy moves up to a high position at another bank, he gets her former job.) Steve initially condescends to the Bundys, but eventually becomes more like them, and generally turns to Al for male-bonding. Marcy was initially attracted to him because of his self-centered materialism.Steve seemed to be a fairly demure and buttoned-down character, compared to his wife and the Bundys, although he did show a dark side. As a banker, Steve took sadistic pleasure in humiliating people who bullied him in high school by making his former tormentors (many of whom were stuck in poor, dead end jobs similar to Al's) grovel for bank loans, which he flatly refused.
Colin Hanks [Height: 6' 1", Age: 38, Notable Works: Mad Men, Fargo, Dexter]: I like Colin, he's a strong actor and is very, very talented. He does wonderful when ever he is onscreen. He has the spirit of to play the character and really bring him around the way David Garrison did. Colin would do fantastic work in the role.
Marcy D'Arcy {Nee' Rhoades} [Height: 5' 4", Age: Late 30's]: Peggy's best friend, Al's nemesis, and the family's next door neighbor. Though she considers herself to be better than the Bundy family, Marcy often sinks to their level. She originally worked as a loan officer at the city bank (in a higher position than her husband, Steve) and then as the manager of the Kyoto National Bank since the second season. But for a brief time, she was demoted to drive-up window teller as punishment for approving a loan Al could not repay (in fact the purpose was to make Al able to repay a previous loan approved by Steve, but Al instead turned this loan into his "shoe hotline" project as well, and lost it too). She wins back her old job after "frugging" on her boss's desk for 20 minutes, clad only in a slip, while the other drive-up window tellers tossed quarters at her. Marcy has stated that she holds a Bachelor's degree double majoring in business and economics.
Leslie Mann [Height: 5' 7", Age: 42, Notable Works: KnKocKed Up, The Other Woman, The Change-Up]: A wonderful actress who has really landed the stuck-up and sarcastic personality. I think this is a role that really works for her, she really could find an edge similar but different to the edge Amanda Bearse brough to the role. As amazing as Leslie can be, this is a role that would really connect with her.
Jefferson D'Arcy [Height: 5' 11", Age: 30's]: Marcy's second husband (original age unknown, but younger than Marcy; one episode mentioned that he celebrated his 40th birthday), a "pretty boy" who marries her for her money. Self-centered and lazy, he is a male equivalent of Peggy. Marcy met Jefferson after a bankers' convention when she got drunk, and found herself married to him the next morning; she was horrified to find out that her name was now Marcy D'Arcy (Episode 92, "Married...With Who?"). He is Al's closest friend, and often angers Marcy when he is bonding with him; unlike Steve who was more of a foil, or straight man, to Al, Jefferson tends to be very encouraging and attuned to Al's behavior. Marcy constantly bosses Jefferson around to keep him in check. However, behind her back Jefferson often insults Marcy and ignores her orders. When Marcy's favorite squirrel Zippy dies, Jefferson tells her that he will give it a proper burial, only to punt it out of his sight when Marcy turns around.
Bradley Cooper [Height: 6' 1", Age: 39, Notable Works: The Hangover, Silver Lining's Playbook, Guardians of the Galaxy]: An amazing Actor. His work as in films like the Hangover really shows he has the spirit to play the character. He was really the only actor I could think of it. He's got he style, the feeling, and the overall nature of this character so well by his assumed public life that he'd have to do little more than show up and just read the lines.
Griff [Height: 6' 4", Age: 40's]: a friend and coworker of Al at the shoe store. He is also a member of Al's "NO MA'AM" organization. A divorcee, he shares many of Al's characteristics as far as work ethic and views on women go. However, Griff is not quite as impolite and outspoken to their customers, or to their boss, Gary. He is also less callous; occasionally he feels uneasy when going along with one of Al or Jefferson's many schemes. Griff drives a GEO Metro with vanity plates reading 'PO BOY', and is often mocked for this. However, Griff is happy because it is still more reliable than Al's 1970s Dodge (and is easier to push uphill), though Griff did mention a fond memory of being a passenger in the Dodge, while he and Al tried to run over Griff's ex-wife (she was able to outrun the Dodge). Griff's first appearance was in the episode "Naughty But Niece" when Bud goes to the shoe store to study for a college scholarship, he first meets Griff who introduces himself claiming that Al recently hired him, and Bud says Al never mentioned having a co-worker, and Griff says that Al never mentioned having a son, a daughter, or a living wife, but had already annoyed him with all the times he mentioned scoring four touchdowns in one football game for Polk High.
Craig Robinson [Height: 6' 2", Age: 42, Notable Works: Hot Tub Time Machine, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, We The Peoples]: I love Craig Robinson and when I decided to cast a Married With Children I knew Craig had to be Griff! He is such an amazing actor and a hilarious one at that, there's no doubt he could play the role of Griff perfectly, especially for a modern audience.
Officer Dan [Height: 6' 3", Age: 40's]:A friend of Al's who is also in "NO MA'AM" and works full-time as a Chicago uniformed police officer. Surprisingly, though he is part of "NO MA'AM," he often arrests them for their illegal antics. However, he does admit to his friends that he is a corrupt officer, which indicates he does help out the group now and then. In one of the times he was about to arrest them, he changes his mind and joins them when he learns they're trying to bring back "Psycho Dad".
Romany Malco [Height: 5' 8", Age: 45, Notable Works: Last Vegas, 40 Year Old Virgin, No Ordinary Family]: He's a fun actor who's been barely seen since his appearance in "40 Year Old Virgin" and has really needed to come back. I'm not 100 percent on this But ii trust him as an actor that he would be able to wow me. He's a good actor and would do well.
Bob Rooney [Height: 6' 0", Age: 40's]: One of Al's friends from the neighborhood, and treasurer of "NO MA'AM." He works as a butcher, has a wife named Louise (who is a friend of Peggy), and played on the same football team as Al at Polk High. He is always called by both his first and last name, even by his wife, and it is spelled as one word on his bowling shirt.
Will Sasso [Height: 6' 3", Age: 38, Notable Works: Life as We Know It, Mad T.V., The Three Stooges]: Will is best known for his role in Three Stooges. He's a decent actor but that film was abysmal. On the plus it showed me an actor I could cast in the future and with the role of Bob Rooney I felt very at home with the choice.
Eisenhower "Ike" Weiskopf [Height: 6' 3", Age: 40's]: Another member of "NO MA'AM" and another friend of Al's. He is the Sergeant at Arms of the organization. He works as an auto mechanic and has a wife named Frannie (also a friend of Peggy's). Somewhat insecure, he believes Elvis is still alive.
Danny McBride [Height: 5' 10", Age: 37, Notable Works: Pineapple Express, Land of the Lost, Your Highness]: Danny is a fun actor, and what really brought me to cast him was that Ike was the Elvis worship Ike suffers and I feel Danny would really be able to sensationalize that very well.
Gary Paterson [Height: 5' 9" {Esitmate}, Age: Late 50's - Early 60's]: the owner of Gary's Shoes and employer of Al. Gary's first appearance in the series came in Season 9 after Al turned her women's shoe store into a men's, assuming Gary was male and therefore would not notice (Al never saw Gary in the first twenty years he worked in the store, leading him once to doubt that Gary really existed). Gary is incredibly wealthy (she would have been in the Forbes 400, but only reached #401 because of the shoe store—her only failing business venture). In the first appearance she said she owns, among other things, men, prompting Al to offer himself; she then points out that she said "men." Over the course of the series she makes several more appearances, always to the chagrin of Al. In one episode, Al discovers that Gary gets her shoes manufactured through a sweatshop within the city. Al tries to expose Gary but was unsuccessful.
Sigourney Weaver [Height: 6' 0", Age: 64, Notable Works: Ghostbusters, Aliens, Avatar]: Sigourney is amazing in a power role. When she plays a person of high social status and strong will, with a overtly sense of arrogance she really does a fantastic job. She does a great job and would really play this role exceptionally well.
