John Leguizamo Is 'Del Boy' Trotter
In US remake of just Fools And HorsesHere's a tale to help you question be it Shrove Tuesday or April Fool's Day or indeed 'What The Cr#p?' Day. Yes, you heard right: John Leguizamo continues to be cast as Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter in ABC's US pilot of just Fools And Horses.The 1980s British telly staple will be dusted off and given a united states transformation. Leguizamo has had charge role in their new development cope with ABC, although there is no word yet on who'll be joining him driving of this Reliant (or US equivalent) as Rodney.Scrubs authors Steven Cragg and John Bradley are billed with converting the references to Trevor Francis tracksuits and pot pourri into something US-friendly. Based on Deadline Hollywood, Leguizamo's lengthy-time manager Shaun Golenberg takes professional-producer responsibilities.Real question is: whoever else got left whenever you remove the 1980s get-wealthy-quick, cushty cockneyisms, references to Uncle Albert searching like Captain Birdseye and Del driving around Peckham inside a shaky three-wheeler? Work spanned the cultural divide with surprising ease and Shameless does likewise, however the original Del Boy, David Jason, lately asked whether Only Fools And Horses could repeat the secret: "It could work but you need to change it out a lot that, within the change, to be able to Americanise it, would you lose the entire idea of the piece?" Time will inform. Who to experience Rodney and Trigger? Solutions below. Nick Nolte for Uncle Albert, clearly.[[Poll629]]
