Imagine you are a Hollywood prodcuer given millions of dollars to produce a live action version of Sesame Street. Choose the stars, director and/or sub-genre of your choice to create an instant hit.
Will you produce “Mean Sesame Streets” directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Robert DeNiro as Oscar “The Grouch”; Spike Lee’s “Sesame Hood” with Delroy Lindo as Gordon; or will you pick a reasonably priced but oh-so-artistic former Sundance Festival ingenue to direct a sensitive exploration of the relationship between “Ernie and Bert” featuring Ben Stiller and Kevin Spacey as the title characters?
