  • Clooney2000s ideal Neil,Affleck proposed but perhaps too old now.
  • British casting joke leads Daniel Kaluuya as Neil; Kevin Hart suggested then Tracy Morgan as Del preferred.
  • Reported Will Smith/Kevin Hart remake opposed; ask for new material.
  • Uptown Saturday Night remake had appealed, but this remains rewatchable so no remake; Total Recall remake anger comparison.
  • Chappelle as weird Del proposed; Half Baked praised and Ben Simmons dislike reported.
  • Idris Elba too attractive to face obstacles rejected; Sterling K Brown with Chappelle preferred conditional on Chappelle commitment.
