That’s the casting choice of Mike Judge, at least. Judge has said he’d loved to a live action version of the couch-dwellers and have it star Johhny Depp and Sean William Scott. Sound too bizarre to be true? Scott thought so too, but obviously doesn’t rule out the idea.
In an interview on Ain’t It Cool News, Scott was asked about the potential pairing. His personal take is that he’d love to work with Judge and thinks Depp would be a fantastic person to team with, though he obviously is doubtful of Depp’s participation.
OFFICE SPACE is a really solid comedy, but I don’t think Johnny Depp is going to want to work with me. [laughs] Not quite yet. But if Mike Judge asked me to work with Johnny Depp, I’d be all over that, even if it was Beavis and Butt-head. I haven’t seen “Beavis and Butt-head” in a long time, but that’s a pretty huge honor. What do you think about that?
Well, there’s always hope, one supposes. However, the two seem a bit long in the tooth to take on the roles. Who would you cast in the roles instead?
