Audition for Groundskeeper Willie in The Simpsons live action movie?
Nailed it.
Bill Murray's film choices have become pretty eclectic over the last decade or so. The chances of him ever starring in another film like The Man Who Knew Too Little are probably slim and none. It looks like Murray's latest film choice also fits the mold of his recent films.
According to "Deadline" Murray will star in the upcoming film Rock the Kasbah where he plays:
"a burned-out music manager who goes to Afghanistan on the USO tour with his last
remaining client. When he finds himself abandoned, penniless and without his
passport, he discovers a young girl with an extraordinary voice, who stows away
with him back to Kabul to compete on the popular television show, The Afghan
Star, Afghanistan’s equivalent of American Idol."
Sounds like the perfect role for Murray. It also reunites him with screenwriter Mitch Glazer, who also penned Scrooged.
Murray can next be seen in director George Clooney's The Monuments Men, out December 18th.
Bill Murray looks like Wilford Brimley dressed up like Teddy Roosevelt for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteI know that's not completely accurate in terms of how close he looks to TR, but it's the first thing that came to mind. And I lol'd.
BTW congrats on finally updating your profile.
