Will Ferrell "The Producers"

[@tysargent9647]

FUN FACT: The pigeons in this scene are animatronic pigeon puppets created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, and operated by many Jim Henson Company puppeteers: Victor Yerrid (Adolf and Hilda), Drew Massey, Joey Mazzarino, Fran Brill, Tyler Bunch, Tim Lagasse, Peter Linz, Matt Vogel, Martin P. Robinson, and Jim Kroupa.

Will Ferral does do great in this role. However, I don’t think people how versatile of an actor Will Ferral is since in most popular movies he is usually cast in very comedic roles. He actually is able to play serious roles too.

[@leislschutte6421]

Although he is pretty wonderful in his roles in popular comedies. I wonder what type of roles he likes playing best

[@Baello999]

I might, this is fairly consistent with how Ferral is usually cast. He's playing a mentally unstable weirdo, who's the butt of the jokes.

This scene really shows you how tall Will is. Nathan is a bit short but with that hat he's as tall as Matthew who's average height. Yet Will is a head and more taller than both. It's especially clear at the end since you can see there's no clever framing.

[@psychotophatcat]

People didn't like that this one went so much more over the top and campy with the acting I guess? I've seen three versions and this is the one I keep coming back to (partially because I can't exactly rewatch a stage play anytime I want.) I feel like folks don't get that using the same energy the actors in the original used would be weird in the musical version.

[@mightymoeish]

If this scene is any indication of the movie, it was probably all garbage.

I gotta disagree, I just rewatched the original, and while everyone's performance was stellar, I think the extra meat the remake added to the story, especially the different ending worked a lot better. In the original the secretary was just set dressing but the remake not only gave her an actual character but made her intergal to the damage and eventual repair of the relationship of the two leads. Not to mention the musical element that the og lacked. I love mel brooks so very much, but the remake is superior to his original. Edit: at least in my opinion. : )

Kenneth Mars was much better. Not in the way, that Ferrel gets an 8 while Mars a 9. No, Mars is so much better than Ferrel, that if they were spaceships, Mars would have left the solar system , broken the speed of light, travelled back to the past, saved the dinosaurs (cause he was that fucking awesome) and returned before Ferrel even took off. Seriously, I like Ferrel I think he has talent when he doesn't let himself get carried away or when he has a director that can hold his reins so to speak, but here he completely dropped the ball.

[@mightymoeish]
