Summary Recently, a live-action The Simpsons concept trailer gained attention online, and I'm almost completely certain that its Homer Simpson casting is a work of genius. The AI Simpsons trailer, shared by Multiverse of AI on YouTube has some questionable choices - like Steve Buscemi as Mr Burns, most glaringly - but in Sandler, I just can't shake the feeling that it's struck gold.
Related The Simpsons Movie 2 Can’t Repeat The Original’s Huge Success The Simpsons Movie made box office history in 2007, but The Simpsons Movie 2 cannot hope to replicate this impact thanks to numerous major factors. Way back in 1994, The Flintstones live-action movie cast John Goodman, who looked nothing like Fred Flintstone, but got by on his own charm. His Fred became a towering approximation with bulging biceps, and my image of Fred Flintstone changed forever . Seeing Sandler Homer inspired the same feelings, because you can actually connect the dots from Sandler's best movies to Homer Simpson...
In other words, he's well-versed in playing exactly the kind of man Frank Grimes would despise. I don't know how we all missed it for so long. Adam Sandler is the perfect actor to play Homer Simpson. While he's made some truly excellent serious movies, like Uncut Gems and Punch-Drunk Love, Sandler is inarguably at his best when he's playing characters like Happy Gilmore. He can balance physical comedy with hair-trigger, hilarious rage, which Homer is no stranger to, and he's one of the most likable working actors in Hollywood. I am utterly convinced.
