The Chicago Red Eye, an entertainment paper, printed this tidbit about a remake of the Good Times TV show for the movies.
Here's a suggested cast list:
The "Good Times" are rolling again, thanks to a new deal that will
bring the '70s sitcom to the big screen.
Variety reports that after unsuccessful attempts by Wesley Snipes, Babyface and Magic Johnson, a company called Creative Production Group finaly secured the rights for the show, which follows a family living in the Chicago projects. No actors are attached to star just yet, but RedEye has a few suggestions:
JJ Evans Dave Chappelle
Thelma Evans-Anderson Meagan Good
Keith Anderson Mike Brown (you need a real Chicago Bear to play
a Chicago Bear)
Florida Evans Queen Latifah
Michael Evans Usher
James Evans Ving Rhames
Penny Woods Janet Jackson (Sure, she's a little older, but
c'mon)
Willona Woods Vivica A. Fox
Nathan Bookman Cedric The Entertainer
