I figured they'd be having him be an actor or something - someone famous for playing a Rupert Giles type part - but this works. Not sure about Colin Farrell as Jerry though...
i like the cast that they have got i havn't seen Toni Collette for a while and lets see what happends with Tennant,
An interesting idea, but don't see how a remake could even come close to being as good as the original.
Re: this guy you're calling Evil Ed. I think he's actually called Evil Ernie. After all, when he got his own comic book back in the late '80s, that's what it was called.
