So Mike Judge, creator of Beavis and Butt-Head (along with King of the Hill and Office Space), is now saying he's toying with the idea of a live action Beavis and Butt-Head movie.
"I feel like it's something I can come back to and do. I've even thought about doing a live-action 'Beavis & Butt-Head' possibly. 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."
When it comes to casting the two leads, though, the choices might surprise you.
"I was thinking about having a Beavis and Butt-Head movie where they're just 60-year-old winos or something like that. Something different but with the same spirit. I guess Seann William Scott's kinda got Butt-Head eyes," Judge agreed when given one 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."
"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. "Maybe I'd just go to prison escapees and see if any of them can act."
Johnny Depp as Beavis and Marlon Brando as Butt-Head. O, what could have been.
