Steve Martin as Inspector Clouseau

[LSPoorEeyorick]

He's in the film but not playing the Inspector. If they were going to re-make, couldn't they have gotten the casting right? Kline would be a much better Clouseau. Not that I want a re-remake.

I think I saw an ad and made the leap (of faith) that Kline would be Clouseau. That seems passable to me at least - not that any remake can replace the brilliance of Peter Sellers.

Becasue if we are...

I certainly don't think Pink Panther will be bringing down the house on opening night. I guess these remakes may be cheaper by the dozen for the studios to make, but I can't help but think that the box office results will be at best a bag of mixed nuts. I know I'd probably have to be pumped full of novocaine to sit through another one of them.

*clicks on mixed nuts.....clicks on novocaine*

Oh yeah, those. Right.

Count me in as another hopeful for Kline....oh well.

I guess Mr. Martin just wanted to add a Razzie (or two or three) to the list of awards he has won.
