After years of loathing the very idea of a live-action “Beavis & Butthead” movie, creator Mike Judge is now relaxing his grip as he gets a little older and the cash-flow gets a little lighter and at least considering the possiblity of such a film.
“I haven’t yet said, ‘OK, I wanna make a live-action ‘Beavis & Butt-Head’ movie, and here’s the idea.’ But for some reason, I used to hate the idea for years, and now I think maybe there’s something there,” Judge told MTV.
Who would play the parts? There’s no one set yet. When the MTV writer suggested Sean William Scott, Judge thought it might not be a bad idea and remembered a time when two famous acting friends wanted the roles.
“I guess Seann William Scott’s kinda got Butt-Head eyes,” Judge said to the possible casting idea. “A long time ago, Johnny Depp had said to me that he really wanted to play Beavis. … He was doing that [‘Don Juan DeMarco’] movie with Marlon Brando, and he said Marlon Brando used to imitate Butt-Head, and he would do Beavis.”
Let’s face it though, it’s not gonna happen though and Judge says as much. “Casting is bad enough as it is. I don’t know if I want to sit through a casting session trying to find the live-action Beavis & Butt-Head,” he laughed.
