Alacritous [TotalFark] 2009-11-18 11:50:59 PM  
Oh yeah. I'm on board with this.

 
SpinStopper [TotalFark] 2009-11-18 11:56:02 PM  
That would be awesome ;)

 
SpinStopper [TotalFark] 2009-11-18 11:59:23 PM  
Seriously, though. Nathan would be perfect for the part. He's okay in Castle, and he was great in Firefly and Serenity. But he'd be FANTASTIC in a Super Suit with no instructions ;)

 
ThatWomanFromMassachusetts [TotalFark] 2009-11-19 12:24:03 AM  
Yes, please!

 
mcwebe0 2009-11-19 12:51:08 AM  
He lost the Green Lantern to Ryan Reynolds? Were the producers idiots? Let's get on with this, then. Sounds great to me!

One of the most perfect castings I've ever heard.

 
wouldestous 2009-11-19 01:26:46 AM  
so... deploying my knowledge of useless old pop culture and pairing it with deductions from previous comments, am i to surmise that fillion has been cast in the lead role for the newest 'reboot' of an old television show?

A new version of that series with Fillion in that role would be overflowing with WIN.

I hear the hammer is his penis.

Excellent.

Even on Fark, there's NO ONE who doesn't like Nathan Fillion.

For half a second I thought you were saying that Fillion had been cast to star in the new Reboot series and I almost had to change my pants.

Fillion as Bob, I can almost hear him saying it...

"To mend... (sly look) and defend"


Also -

"Believe it or not, George isn't at home, please leave a message at the beep. I must be out, or I'd pick up the phone. Where could I be? Believe it or not, I'm not home!"

Castle is growing on me more and more. The one thing it's really missing is the angry Fillion that we got from Mal. While Castle really lets his natural humor shine, we miss his real ability to do knock it out of the park drama.

in before Firefly was canceled too soon

I think it is pretty much impossible to hate the guy. Even when he's playing an asshole like Captain Hammer, he is just so damn likable.

 
SpinStopper [TotalFark] 2009-11-19 02:49:34 AM  
I just had a horrible thought.

Cast Ron Glass as the FBI agent.

Think about it ;)

How about Patrick Warburton? Perfect deadpan delivery ...

 
knoxvelour 2009-11-19 03:13:38 AM  
much better than the previous rumors of Adam Sandler being attached to the project

Good god. Patrick Warburton would be FANTASTIC!

Actually, I'd already thought of him. Only as a Tick cameo. One befuddled super hero runs across another ... ;)

We need to make this happen!

Letter writing campaign, adspace, drew buying full page columns, kidnappings, beatings, whatever it takes.

/farkers, ROLL OUT!

I agree, and I appear to have plenty of time. My work at home job takes about one hour a week, so I have time on my hands.

We can do this ;)

I would be all over this project. Who the fark do I write to help get this wagon rolling?

 
George_Spelvin 2009-11-19 04:41:19 AM  
It's funny 'cause he's Canadian.

But, yeah, I'm good with it. Make it happen.

The lack of Felicia Day pictures in this thread is shocking.

That is great. We need a hot babe to.

I want to have Nathan Fillion's children.

Even though remakes are, in general, evil and bad things, I would watch this
in a second if it ever gets made.

The original was so bad it was good. I'm pretty sure I watched every episode as they aired.

I'm already putting together a mailing list to get more people involved in this.

Who do you think would be interested in helming the project? I'd like to put a bug in their ear, too.

 
Gramma 2009-11-19 06:46:33 AM  
I don't know anything about the Greatest American Hero, but since I'd be happy to watch Nathan Fillion read the phone book, I say, go for it.

Spindle 2009-11-19 08:13:59 AM  
I think he'd do a good job, but my only complaint is that he is a little too chisled for the role. I always figured the GAH should be a scrawny, unsuspecting-of-being-a-superhero kind of guy. They should get the guy that plays the entomologist on Bones.

Info from Twitter:

According to Alyssa Milano, Nathan is a sweetheart, and if you don't like him, you don't like people.

According to Nathan, Alyssa Milano smells like cupcakes.

I gasped ... Audibly GASPED reading the Fark headline.

This has so much win, it's like Michael Jordan leading the Roman Legions up the beaches of Normandy to blow up the Death Star.

It's like Jack Nicholson starring in Gone with the Wind as directed by Steven Spielberg, scored by John Williams and set in the slums of Mumbai.

It's like being in the Bellagio with 21 in one hand, a 42 year old scotch in the other, and two 21 year old circus acrobats without gag reflexes underneath the table.
/Okay, maybe not the last one
// But, good LORD, this is awesome casting.

A remake of the Greatest American Hero - that would be AWESOME!!!

\ One of my favorite shows growing up, another was Soap. They could never remake soap, it was too awesome.

i'd get cable for this. and i HATE comcast.

My husband knows there is one real and present threat to him in the universe, and that is Nathan Fillion.

That would make it even more awesome. Nathan Fillion and Bruce Campbell in one film? thats almost divide by zero awesome.


OK now all we need is the female lead. suggestions farkers

(Felicia Day would be too obvious I think, but could work)

He was pretty good in Waitress, too.
