Rentaghost: The Movie
 

Apparently Warner Brothers have acquired the rights to bring Rentaghost to the big screen, and are looking at having Russell Brand play Mr Mumford (who runs the business).

From what I remember of the series, I would have thought Russell Brand would be a better Mr. Claypole (the court jester), but I think the kids will enjoy it.

Russell Brand?

Count me out, then.

Re: Rentaghost: The Movie
 

Maybe if they put him through a real mincing machine it would be worth watching as that would be the first time ever that I would laugh at him.:D

Re: Rentaghost: The Movie
 

I find it funny that 'some' people say he's not funny just because they don't like his personal life when clearly he's very funny most of the time, their just jealous that they're not getting 9 women a night, i think he will be very funny if he does star in this film and more the reason to see it

Re: Rentaghost: The Movie
 

I'm with you, he should stick to presenting or stand-up lol.

Re: Rentaghost: The Movie
 

I just fail to see the joke here, he is just not funny fullstop, I have seen his act and I actually wonder what people are laughing at.

What you refer to as his personal life has no interest to me as I do not read the so called celebrity pap that is printed about so called stars.

Re: Rentaghost: The Movie
 

same here...dont keep up with 'celeb' personal lives...but he still isnt funny...and an even worse actor

Re: Rentaghost: The Movie
 

I neither know nor care about his personal life. I simply find him to be unfunny & irritating.

Re: Rentaghost: The Movie
 

or that he's just simply not funny. I've given him the benefit of the doubt a couple of times and tried watching his stand-up and just generally on TV, but he really just is not funny.

as for his personal life - i know he's married to Katy Perry, but that's it.

I don't see how one has any bearing on the other.

Guys, can we get back on topic? This thread isn't just a discussion about Russell Brand. It is about a big screen version of a show that a lot of us loved as kids.

Re: Rentaghost: The Movie

Re: Rentaghost: The Movie
 

Maybe the rest of them can have cameo roles.:D

Re: Rentaghost: The Movie
 

I grow up watching that show
from other remakes i have seen it has been all dome and gloom
no doubt this be the same to
LEAVE THE CLASSICS alone

Re: Rentaghost: The Movie
 

Brand isn't associated with the film anymore, instead it's now Ben Stiller

Re: Rentaghost: The Movie
 

Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing lol
