IT’S UNLICKELY THAT THE PROJECT WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH SOMONE ELSE STEPPING IN FOR ASNER.

Starting on Broadway, The Odd Couple‘s 1968 Movie adaptation is one of the best chomedies from the’ 60s, and was quickly desoloped into a tv show with a new cast.

Great Buddy Comedies Are Funny in Any Generation, but i’m not convinced that dick van dyke and ed asner’s remake of The Odd Couple would have workhed. Neither actor had any Connection to the origin Movie or tv Show, and Oscar and Felix are typically played by actors in their middle at the latest. There’s no dubt that Asner’s prickly people and van Dyke’s optimistic style Waled have Workhed Well Togetherbut The Odd Couple Remake Wold Need to Have Major Changes to the Original Story.
