So they're adapting Brooklyn 99 for the French Canadian market, it's the first adaptation of the show

Posted by Guigue (aka Guigue) May 24 '19, 06:41

Casting will be difficult, we're a market of about 7 million people. Not sure we have a decent actor that looks like Terry!

I look forward to the cross-over ep with Cardinal. -- nm* - LMS May 24, 07:43
Will it be in French? -- nm - colin May 24, 07:18 2
- Yes -- nm - Guigue May 24, 08:00 1
  - Ah ha -- nm - colin May 24, 08:14
Georges Laraque!! -- nm - Shaun May 24, 06:48 6
- He looks like he could fit the part. Any chance he can act? -- nm - Krusty May 24, 06:51 4
  - IIRC he has like 2 lines then a fight... He has virtually no experience. -- nm - Guigue May 24, 07:00 1
    - I think in Goon he had "Wanna go?" and that was it. -- nm - Shaun May 24, 07:04
  - He's been in both Goon movies. - Shaun May 24, 06:51 1
    - Ha! -- nm - Krusty May 24, 06:54
- That could work. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 06:49
Gotta check the CFL and hope one of them can act. :-) - Krusty May 24, 06:46 15
- Quebecois Jake and Gina should be ridiculously easy to find. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 06:48 14
  - Yeah not worried about those all that much. Rosa, Charles and Amy should be doable too - Guigue May 24, 06:50 12
    - Find a serious dramatic actor that no one thinks can be funny - give him comedy. There’s your Holt. - Will Hunting May 24, 07:41
    - Though B99 reflects New York diversity and I'd expect a Quebec remake would reflect Montreal diversity. - Roger More May 24, 07:11 3
      - I agree, maybe have an anglophone too (to get some Bon Cop Bad Cop vibes) - Guigue May 24, 07:16 2
        
        They can make the english guys Hitchcock and Scully. -- nm - Shaun May 24, 07:17 1
        
        Excellent idea, the two bumbling idiots! :) -- nm - Guigue May 24, 07:21
    - His being black and gay is a huge part of his character. -- nm - Krusty May 24, 06:51 6
      - True, but they could probably manage with just the gay part of his character - Guigue May 24, 06:59 5
        
        He's the founder of AAGLNYCPA! ;-) I didn't realize how difficult casting is for certain non-white roles can be. - Krusty May 24, 07:06 4
        
        Hopefully they thought of casting before buying the show! :) - Guigue May 24, 07:10 3
        
        Makes sense. -- nm - Krusty May 24, 07:12 2
        
        I just thought of this guy though. He looks the part, but we mostly know him from a kid's TV show, so I wonder if he can act like Holt - Guigue May 24, 07:19 [Attachment] 1
        
        He looks like he could fit the role, though Holt would never have that soul patch. lol -- nm - Krusty May 24, 07:26
  - I'm sure they can find a Boyle as well. Rosa and Terry will likely be the hardest to find a good replacement. Holt is a tough one as well. -- nm - Krusty May 24, 06:50
What about the dude from that 19-2 series? -- nm - Reagen May 24, 06:45
