Wanna Know What You're NOT Hearing About Brando In SCARY MOVIE 2'!
SPOILER ALERT !!
Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
Michael Fleming of Variety broke the story that Marlon Brando was in talks to play a cameo in SCARY MOVIE 2.
Then a follow-up story ran. This time, there was a nugget of detail about Brando's proposed role.
"Weinstein said Brando agreed to the part - described only as that of a priest who performs a 'supernatural exorcism' - after meeting Keenan Ivory Wayans and finding a 'kinship with his brand of comedy.'"
Well, it turns out I got an exclusive cast listing here at the Labs that includes two rather familiar character names:
FATHER KARRAS and REGAN.
In the cast listing I got, Andy Richter was listed for Karras, and Natasha Lyonne is set as Regan. Sounds like Bob Weinstein may have added Marlon Brando as Father Merrin. That's right, Andy... from CABIN BOY to Brando... way to go, Richter!!
"Moriarty" out.

Why would Brando even bother with this? The first 'Scary Movie'
by psyclops
I can't understand how movies like that even get made. Anyway, I'm hoping this scene will show Natasha masturbating with a crucifix!

Don't Tell Me That They Are Making A Sequel To That Horrible Fil
by rightwing dude
What's even more unbelievable is the fact that Brando, an actor who is very particular with his roles, will make an appearance in it!
-
Remember the original (Exorcist, not Scary Movie): " . . . an old priest, and a young priest." Karras was the young priest. Perhaps Father Merrin was added . . .

Brando always says he's retiring. So retire already you fat fart
by regis travolta
Man if this is his swan song what a sad comment on his once great career. This is how he chooses to go out? With a cameo in Scary Movie 2? Bring on that director's cut of Apocalypse Now!
-
If Andy Richter is listed as Karras and that other girl as Regan, then perhaps Brando is pardoying Father Merrin - the Max Von Sydow character.
I know Brando has a pretty twisted since of humor - but if he is planning on making some kind of 'comeback' (which I am super-entirely for!), I would rather see him in a Farrelly Bros. comedy, than a sequel to a VERY unfunny film (read: I do not like the Farrelly Brothers that much).
Hey Mr. Keenan, how about an 'I'm Gonna Git You Sucka Part 2'? - now that would be funny. -
I can't believe all the criticism that Scary Movie gets from the droid-diddling, hobbit-humping crowd! Scary Movie was chock full of content, fast-paced and intelligent. Sorry there weren't any lightsabers or dragons mixed in with all the absurd pop-culture refences, titties, nutsacs and cuss words in Scary Movie! I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel, Brando or not.
-
he has not been attatched to a good movie since island of dr moreau and he managed to fuck it up hugely by having the wonderful richard stanely fired completely from HIS film. marlon brando may once of been a brilliant actor but he started becoming a dickhead and a crap actor about the same time apocalypse now happened. just watch the making off, the evidence is there. HE IS STARTING TO WEAR HATS!!!! THE HORROR TH HORROR THOSE INFERNAL HATs. i do not like the man by the way. i read the april fools on coming attractions the other day about his bit part in pearl harbour and i knew it was not true. he would nver be attatched to what could be such a good film. that isn't his scene anymore.
-
Only on AICN, that bastion of cinematic excellence, could one of the greatest actors in the history of film be referred to as "this Brando schmuck." Truly, I weep for the art.

i've totally lost the guy after Apocalypse Now. you just need to rewind the tape like 15 times to get what he just said in a dialogue!! why on earth does people still want to cast him in a movie? like someone mentioned earlier in this talkback, there is only 1 role that fit's tubby brando perfectly & that's jabba the hut!

Transcript Of KeenanIvory Wayans Getting Brando For The Movie.
by buzz maverik
"Uh, Mr. Brando, my name is Keenan Ivory Wayans and I'm a big fan of your work." "And I'm a big fan of yours, Kenny." "You are?" "I am? Yeah, you're one of the Wayans Brothers, right?" "Yes, sir." "I loved THE MATRIX. It was much better than THE PHANTOM MENACE. I want to be in the sequel. I could play a character calle Don Corneilius. I'd be spoofing my Godfather image. You seen, I was Don Corelone in THE GODFATHER..." "One of my favorites--" "I hate it when people kiss my ass, Keanu. Don't interrupt. God, this is good canoli. Anyway, I was Don Coreleone in THE GODFATHER. I'd be Don Corneilius in THE MATRIX 2, sort of spoofing the SOUL TRAIN host. I wish I could grow a good Afro. I spent a whole afternoon talking to that Tarantino kid about how we wished we could grow Afros." "Yeah. Anyway, we'd love you to be in the movie." "Not so fast, Keyser! What about craft services?" "Craft services?" "The snack table! You call yourself a filmmaker!" "Oh, we have craft services." "Will your craft services table have Krispy Kremes." "Mr. Brando, you can have all the Krispy Kremes you want." "Send me a contract, Keeley. I'll sign it today. And send me a dozen glazed. I want 'em while they're still hot."

like that "secret" photo shows. Brando is a fat slob and is the male version of Elizabeth Taylor...good in their day but they lost touch with reality a long time ago.
And scarry Movie "Intelligent"? Guess the dumbing down of American is way overdue. -
it delivered a lot of belly laughs, the most since I saw "In & Out" and nearly as many as I got in "Hot Shots 2", "Top Secret!" and "Airplane!". A "bad" movie sometimes is better than you think. This one could have been slightly better, but I found it great. The Brando cameo, however, is not a good idea: he himself has turned into a parody. We won't be laughing WITH him. We will laugh AT him. And that's something I really hate to do.

I hope you are right. Indeed.

by fitzy funk
Although I agree 100% with the poster that said we will be laughing AT Brando the second he comes onscreen, not WITH him, because his very appearance has become a joke. But what the hell, he's 77 and getting paid $1 million to appear in a movie for probably about 1 minute, who else can claim that? Anyone who ever thought to predict a Late night sidekick would be paired with Brando in a cheesy parody movie (sequel no less!) 25 years ago would have been burned at the stake. Reports say after meeting with Keenan Ivory Wayans, Brando found that they shared a "kinship for comedy" or something to that effect. Can Brando get any positively weirder?

Beetlejuice should spoof that mini-me guy from Dr. Moreau (and M
by tannibones
But really, I can't believe nobody is getting a good laugh out of this. The fact that Brando is gonna be in Scary Movie 2 is hillarious. It's so ridiculous, but it's harmless. Brando is past his acting prime, but so what? WHat kind of role would you write for him in the shape that he is in that would match against his older work. His work from 1948-79 is impressive and cannot be besmirched. Plus it will probably be one of the funniest bits of the movie. Give Brando credit for not taking himself so seriously. (or maybe it's the reported 2 mil he's getting) Everybody else at these Talkbacks could take a hint. Like attacking Christopher Walken for being in Joe Dirt. Walken is so cool and charismatic, he can act in hsite like that and walk through unscathed. I think Walken should do more comedies and music videos. I saw him on SNL ( a show way past his due date) and for a change the show was perfect. Walken was flat-out brilliant and I was thinking here was a great comic talent going to waste. Isn't it worse to ahve to say him trot the tired old, bug-eyed intense guy villian picture after picture.
Do you think that's what he's into ? He's an old song-and-dance man. ... Anyways, Brando and Beetlejuice scenes will compare and surpass the Deniro-Pacino scenes from Heat. " me? Noo,, I'll beat that ass, baby! Beetlejuice for Senator! Yeaaah" TanniBones out. Happy Easter -
First of all, how great of a performance do you expect in a piece of shit like Dr. Moreau. brando was the best thing in it. The man continues to prove a total chameleon, his range of accents and dialects unmatched. Who else could read their lines off cue cards and have it sound that good. Also, Brando was absoultely AMAZING in The Freshman, where he managed to do a humorous take on his most famous role, while managing to be genuniely moving at the same time. The scene where he speaks with Broderick about his father is something few actors could achieve. And despite all the fat jokes, he still had the balls to do that ice skating scene, which is totally sublime. Let's not forget the sadly overlooked Don Juan DeMarco, where Brando managed to steal every scene away from a great Johnny Depp accent/performance, and actually had some chemistry with the also forgotten Faye Dunaway. Worth it just for the line "I am Don Octavio del Flores...and you, my friend, you have seen through all of my masks." His work in A Dry White Season was justly nominated for an Oscar. And show some fucking respect for the man who has turned in probably 3 of the 5 greatest film performances ever.

Does anyone remember when Marlon Brando showed up on "MTV Celebrity Deathmatch", in the fight between--was it Al Pacino and Bobby DeNiro? Well, if I rememeber, they had to CRANE HIM INTO THE RING. LOL. LOL again. Another LOL. I think "Deathmatch" has been overrated for years, but when ol' Brando got craned into the ring, it had me on the floor laughing. Anyone remember this one? Peace.
-
They just suck, great marketing team behind them because that first Scary Movie was trash and it made loot!
-
IS BECAUSE HE IS GETTING $2,000,000 TO DO IT. AND GET THIS....HE ONLY HAS TO WORK ONE DAY. NOW I WANT SUMONE TO TELL ME HOW CRAZY AND STUPID HE IS FOR DOING IT!!!!! HE'LL MAKE MORE MONEY IN ONE DAY THAN ANY OF YOU WILL MAKE IN AN ENTIRE LIFETIME. AND FORGET THAT CRAP ABOUT HIM BEING CHOOSY NOWADAYS. THE MAN IS GETTIN READY TO DIE....YOU THINK HE CARES ANYMORE?
-
great Chris Elliott ("Get a life" series) and magnificent Tim -"The Rocky Horror Picture Show"- will cast in Scary Movie 2. THEY and not Marlon Brando are going to be my reasons to go see this movie.
-
Unforgettable, isn't it? The pity is that they forgot to put Dustin Hoffman also on the ring. I remember an Spitting Image Oscar special, where I saw Dustin, Bobby de Niro and Al Pacino jogging in a L.A. freeway - in the middle of the traffic - and they were mistaking their own identities. Also Spielberg had big problems with his amounts of money (no room for too much money), and Leonard Nimoy tried to get into the Oscars, but couldn't because there were no Mr. Spock on the list. One of the best comedy special I've ever seen.

Thank God.

sure Brando's morbidly obese and the thought of him refusing to wear pants on the set of The Score nauseates me, but c'mon, he's a fucking brilliant actor. at this moment in time, i can say that i have more respect for Brando than i do Robert De Niro. De Niro hasn't done anything interesting in a long time, which is sad considering he puts out three movies a year and alternates soley between playing Robert De Niro and playing Robert De Niro making light of Robert De Niro. but anyway, back to Brando. look at Last Tango in Paris, the first movie of his i ever saw. fucking brilliant. and i must be a fucking mental case, but i loved the weirdness of his role in The Island of Dr. Moreau. Val Kilmer's as well. i think that flick had a lot of potential but fell short, which is why i'd really like to check out the director's cut of it. i dunno, i just really appreciate the fact that he's so wonderfully insane that he absolutely does not give a shit about anything and obviously has not a care for what anyone else thinks of him. i respect that. i mean, i'm a pretty strange person, but i can't get away with not wearing pants at work. i dig Brando for all his cinematic achievments of his earlier years as well as the fucking bizzare eccentricity of his recent years. so therefore, having stated my opinion, everyone else must agree with it. anyone in disagreement is henceforth dubbed "retarded". thank you for your time.
