This is just what life is. A wheel of garbage. And we all know that the worst place to be on the wheel of garbage is at the top, because from there you can only descend. It can only get worse. Though it’s counterintuitive, the best place to be on the wheel of garbage is at the bottom, where it can only get better. So here at the bottom of the wheel of garbage, we’ve found an exciting bit of news! From The Hollywood Reporter:
Fox 2000 has picked up the film rights to the classic talking horse Mr. Ed for David Friendly’s Friendly Films and Jim Mahoney to produce. No writer or director is yet attached to the live-action family film, which Fox 2000′s Carla Hackan will shepherd. As in the original show, Fox 2000 will use a real horse. The studio will use CGI to animate the horse’s mouth.
O Garbage Fortuna. I guess we can’t complain, though. We aren’t actively fighting AGAINST Mr. Ed becoming a movie, so unless we take up arms against it we can only give in. We can only talk about which actors we’d like to see as the voice behind the CGI horse mouth. It’s literally all we can do. SO LET’S DO IT!
Vincent Gallo
Danny Devito
H. Jon Benjamin
Someone Doing An Ace Ventura Impression
Actual Horse
Ryan Gosling
Someone Doing An Austin Powers Impression
Chuck Bass
Someone Doing A The Mask Impression
Actual Borat
Well, there we go. I did MY duty here as a citizen of this planet. Now it’s your turn. If you want. To do your duty as a citizen of this planet. And talk about the voice of Mr. Ed. Aaaaand ACTION!

I heard Gilbert Gottfried is looking for work.
It’s a good thing they answered all of our lingering questions regarding how the horse’s mouth would be animated.
Sarah Jessic *BANG*
I just vote for Gwyneth Paltrow because I want to read the interview where she talks about how she spent a month at a horse farm in Andalucia and how it was much harder to learn to talk like a horse than she expected, but laughs at herself because she likes hip-hop and is a mom!
But actually I want Chris Walken and that’s not… fake. I really want that.
But would you settled for Alan Rickman

Actually, yes. Let’s get Birdie to play Mr. Ed. A horse that barks like a dog sounds like the best direction this movie could go in. It can be directed by David Lynch.
“Why does this horse bark?”
“WE DON’T TALK ABOUT MR. ED’S VOICE!” *slap* *dramatic music*
Danica McKellar
I’m sorry, her schedule is already filled with being married to me.
Bobcat Goldthwait. He’s even got prior experience with horses.
That or Julia Roberts, Sarah Jessica Parker, Hilary Swank…… oh you said the VOICE of Mr. Ed.
Lighten up, downvote troll!! Good lord!! This was funny!
sarah jessica parker
and this is an honest thought: i just don’t see this working without a laugh-track.
If it actually was H. Jon Benjamin, I would probably go see this.
Um, Gabe predicted this would happen:
Or is this The Secret at work? I’m scared!
AH! I knew Gabe mentioned something about this at one point, but I only searched through Videogum and couldn’t find it. Great job, whatthewhatjunior.
Obviously not good enough for an upvote from Kelly, though!
omg ft
I kid because I love!
I only remembered it because I replied and told him I’d blame him when it really happened!
CGI mouth? Andy Serkis.
Um, you guys, they already made a talking horse movie and it was perfection.
Thank you, badideajeans, for posting a picture I clearly was incapable of posting.
I upvoted you for it. I knew there was someone else who remembered this movie.
AHEM…

I have never felt closer to anyone than I do to you all right now.
I might need to work on my interpresonal relations.
First of all, I was just about to type EXACTLY what lilbobbytales just typed and also, it’s nice when you find your peers.
And I don’t know what I was doing that day, but the use of the term seminal while describing Hot to Trot just made me do a goddamn cartwheel. And then in real life I upvoted it. And then I did a real one so you guys would be impressed.
Rafael Palmeiro.

It stands to reason because he’s already Mr. E.D. #imonfire
the picture is Rafael Palmeiro advertising Viagra. #wellplayedkarma
Cheesy, Mr. Cheddar. (Sorry)
So you didn’t post it right? Good, I was afraid I was the only one that couldn’t get it to come up.
Why are the Austin Powers and The Mask impersonators both doing the Charleston???
Because they’re being played by Pete and Trudy Campbell.
hahahahaha!
It’s going to be Seth Macfarlane. Like, I really hope it isn’t but that’s who it’s going to be.
Mario Lopez. 100% chance it will be either Seth McFarlane or Mario Lopez.
Wilbuuuuuur
The real question here is WHO SHOULDN’T?! (No one. Everyone should play Mister Ed.)
I wonder if they’ll do a ten-episode limited-run series showing what Mr. Ed and the gang has been up to. You know, as a bridge to the film.
I think if Jim Carrey did Andy Kaufman so well, he should be able to nail our nation’s other comedy legend.
Daniel Plainview should play Mister Ed. Can anybody think of a way to make that actually happen?
Way ahead of you.
Kirsty Alley, Nancy Grace or Fran Drescher
