I realize this would be a near impossiblity, and somewhat sacreligious, but hypothetically, if there were a live-action Simpson’s movie, who should the cast be?
I have yet to get my creative juices flowing on this as of yet, but I just thought I’d put it out there to the Teeming Millions.
Sorry, but if I found out someone was making a live-action Simpsons, I’d go mental, fly out to Hollywood, and kill the producers involved.

I know, I know. I agree completely, but if the moronic powers that be in Hollywood deemed it necessary to defile the sanctity of our beloved Simpson’s, who, if anyone, would do the least amount of damage?
I’ve always thought that for one of the opening credits couch gags they should film a group of live actors (maybe the voice actors) doing the parts. Other than that however, I feel the Simpsons should remain animated.
This has been done, only using regulars of the local bar scene. Maybe you should confine your cast to SDMB users?
Didn’t get voted for a damn thing!
(thanks guys…)
Here are my suggestions.
Homer Simpson - Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Marge Simpson - Madonna.
Lisa Simpson - The young Christina Ricci.
Bart Simpson - The actor that played Urkel.
Maggie Simpson - Don Rickles.
Montgomery Burns - Harrison Ford.
Smithers - Rupert Everett.
Ned Flanders - Leonardo DiCaprio.
Apu - Matt Damon.
Principal Skinner - Sylvester Stallone.
Barney - Nick Nolte.
Patty Bouvier - Angelina Jolie.
Selma Bouvier - Winona Ryder.
I can’t wait to see Arnold’s movie!
I’ve got dibs on Lenny!
Oooo, I got dibs on Karl…“No Moe, not the dank, you can’t get rid of the dank.”
Second choices are Disco Stu and Gil.
I want to be Dr. Nick!

I understand all the words, they just don’t make sense together like that.
I’m just waiting for Andrew Lloyd Weber to work his ‘Magic’ on the Simpsons and give us a new broadway play. SIMPSONIA!
Well, when you consider there’s another live-action Flintstones movie about to open, and a combination live-action/animated Rocky and Bullwinkle this summer (starring Robert De Niro (!) as Fearless Leader)(I am NOT making that up!), the probability of it happening to The Simpsons gets greater every day.
OTOH, I think it will happen only over Matt Groening’s dead body, and maybe not even then. He may have an Orson Welles-type* contract that specifies what cannot be done even after his death.
*Citizen Kane can never be colorized because Welles specified that it can never be altered even with technology yet to be invented, in perpetuity. But I guess there’s the standard TV clause that allows TV stations to edit it to fit a time slot and allow for commercials.
That said, I wanna be Professor Frink “wu-heyee”.
When all else fails, ask Cecil.
What scares me is that Tom Arnold would get cast as Homer and the little “Sixth Sense” boywould be Bart.
I vote for a shaved John Goodman as Homer, or maybe Chief Wiggums.
I sold my soul to Satan for a dollar. I got it in the mail.
No ideas for the film, but you reminded me of a “Homer-esque” fellow who used to frequent a theater where I worked. Apparently I wasn’t the only one who thought so because one day he showed up wearing the “Homer Simpson – World’s Greatest Dad!” t-shirt. LOL – embracing his “Homerness”!
I want to be Ralph Wiggum, but it’s going to be quite a special effect to make it possible, ha!

I get to be Duffman!
Oh no! Duffman can’t breath!!
