Ken's Next Film

(1/1)

BoyScoutKevin:
Yes, original cast members, except for those who are deceased, so we'll have to get someone else to play the Trent Girls' parents.

I never thought of Kevin as the Snakeman, but it could work. But would Chris Pitt be willing to do a nude scene, or would he keep his underpants on like last time?

As for the Girl Guide, you have a better idea as to what teenage actresses are available in the U.K. to play the role. But, would she be willing to do a nude scene, like the one that was suppose to be in the original film?

Iain Fisher:
I like the idea of a role reversal if the original cast are involved, so Hugh Grant and Amanda Donohoe swapping roles.

Kevin as the snakeman, but who plays the girl guide?

BoyScoutKevin:
Ken's next film, after he completes "Moll Flanders" will be a remake of his "Lair of the White Worm." But not any remake, all the male roles in the original will be played by a female, and all the female roles in the original will be played by a male.

No, of course, not. But this idea did come about from another board and another thread with the subject of role reversal in British horror films. And Ken's "Lair of the White Worm," as far as I know, is the only one of Ken's films, and one of the few films overall, where a complete role reversal would seem to work.

Instead of a female villainess, a male villain. Too bad Hugh Grant would never do another film with Ken, as Hugh would be perfect as the villain.

Instead of a local lord, a local lady. Amanda Donohoe, anyone?

Instead of two sisters, two brothers.

The archaeologist would be a woman, instead of a man.

A housekeeper, instead of a butler.

The police constable would be a woman named Ernestine..

Instead of Mrs. Trent, it would be Mr. Trent cut in half by a broadsword.

Instead of a scout or boy scout, it would be a girl guide or girl scout. She would be bitten on her boobs, of course.

The nurse would be a man.

Instead of nuns, there would be monks.

Instead of soldiers, there would be Amazons.

The snakewoman would be a snakeman.

And knowing Ken, Christ would be a topless nun.

Next time: "Ken's House"
