Jason Segel for James Franco; a modern cohort remake

Mila Kunis is again proposed for Emma Watson’s role. A present-day remake is considered, but no comparably famous comic cohort is found; Tim Robinson is discussed as talented but insufficiently famous for the same premise. Jason Segel is favored as a digital replacement for James Franco because of his ties to the group and likable quality. Ryan Reynolds is an alternate Franco replacement.
