I would like to see a movie made out of this series. There have been a few already, but I want to see something modern with an all-star cast. Brad Garret could play Herman. (Brad Garret was the tall, throaty older brother from "Everyone loves Raymond"). Brittany Spears could play Lilly Munster. That would be great for her "comeback".
Please reply with casting suggestions for the other roles.
Danny Divito or Joe Pesci as Grampa
shareHerman=Brad Garrett (obvious)
Lily=Bebe Neuwirth (currently on stage in a musical based off of "The Addams Family", she wouldn't need much make-up)
Grandpa=Jerry Stiller
Marilyn=Jessica Simpson (sexy while having an air of innocence to her)
Eddie=Atticus Shaeffer (Brick from "The Middle")

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you!
I would consider Robert Englund (Freddy Kreuger) for a possible Grandpa stint. Looks a bit like Al Lewis!!

CATHERINE ZETA JONES as Lilly Munster. Her face structure is so PERFECT for Lilly.
And Danny Divito for Grandpa.
I don't think it's as much a matter of who plays the characters as it is who makes the movie.
I'd want the Back to the Future team (Robert Zemeckis, Bob Gale) in charge.

To a some extent imafaik is right. However as much of a genius as Zemeckis must be to have done the "Back To The Future" movies, he also did stinkers "Death Becomes Her" and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," and "Polar Express" isn't that great either. Bruce Willis floundering in "Death Becomes Her" shows that a great actor can't save a lame script. Daryl Hannah in "Roxanne" does show that a lousy actor can douse a good script. So both movie and cast have to be good.
I think Tom Hanks might make a better grandpa than Robin Williams. Williams mostly does his trademark zany/manic humor and that wouldn't work for Grandpa. Hanks is better at "buddy" work and his sardonic/sarcastic style would be perfect.
How about I throw a cat maong the pidgeons and suggest Jim Carrey as Hermann and Mike Myers as Grandpa. What a combination that would be. Carrey with his rubber mask face and Myers with his Dr Evil weirdness might just work.
shareoff-topic but who played the hissing cat in the original series?
