New film with Steve Martin as Clouseau. Brave guy.. I wouldn't attempt to follow in Peter Sellers footsteps here even if I were Buster Keaton.

It doesn't seem very good from the trailer.Comment

Jean Reno could be good, but Steve Martin...good as he can be...just isn't right for this. Revenge OTPP was on yesterday so is fresh in my mind. That trailer was very pale by comparison I am afraid.FT.Comment

I bet Rowan Atkinson would have done a wonderful job as Clouseau.<TABLE BGCOLOR=Red><TR><TD><Font-weight="+1"><font COLOR=Black>The world just changed, Sep. 11, 2001</font></Font-weight></TR></TD></TABLE>Comment

He's too animated.. the magic of Clouseau was Seller's deadpan dignified fool persona.
Steve Martin never seems to be really serious in anything he does, even in straight parts. That's why he could not really pull this off.
John Cleese might be best for the role...Comment

I agree that Steve Martin is too animated which is why I thought of Rowan. How much of Mr. Atkinson's work have you seen? He can be quite subtle with his humour at times. I think Rowan Atkinson would best John Cleese in this role (though I respect both of their work).<TABLE BGCOLOR=Red><TR><TD><Font-weight="+1"><font COLOR=Black>The world just changed, Sep. 11, 2001</font></Font-weight></TR></TD></TABLE>Comment

Have to agree with KVH here. I could never think of anyone doing Sellers' part in TPP, but Cleese, well, who knows? May be.Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.

Cleese would have the opposite of the problem that Pierce Brosnan had as 007.
He's is too big.
A Clouseau that looms over the people around him would not work.Chuck

Chuck "the Jolley" has a point as well, although LOTR has shown that size issues can be solved.
I mean, let's face it, Mr. Atkinson simply has not got the face. He can do _amazing_ things with his face, just not going "Cato!?!" with the right expression. Not sure about Cleese, but he _might_ just be able to do it.Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.

Opposite of the problem? Pierce Brosnan, at 6'2", was too short to play Bond?!?!Originally posted by cjolleyComment

Well I looked it up and you are right.Originally posted by KvHagedorn
He is listed as 6'1" or 6'2" - just an inch or two shorter than Connery.
That amazes me.
I have always though he did a good job as Bond but just did not look imposing enough.
Have Bond Girls and Villans gotten taller over the years?Chuck

Well, he is a skinny bugger. Looked up Roger Moore and Sean Connery.. Moore is 6'1 and Connery 6'2 1/2.
