The Party remake

[Galactus]

Marco Garibaldi's Godfather Entertainment will produce a remake of the 1968 Peter Sellers cult hit "The Party" says The Hollywood Reporter.

Blake Edwards directed the original film which centered on Sellers' Hrundi V. Bakshi, a bumbling Indian extra accidentally invited to a glamorous Hollywood party, with Sellers hamming it up in a series of loosely connected vignettes.

The new version has a hapless blond Midwesterner having his appearance changed to resemble an Indian by a zealous studio eager he fit a part

Dear God no! The Party only worked because it was Sellers in the lead role....

Not seeing this at all....

Jonathan Kesselman to Organize Party
Source: The Hollywood Reporter March 23, 2009


Jonathan Kesselman, director of Comedy Central's "The Hebrew Hammer," will helm the remake of Blake Edwards' The Party that Marco Garibaldi is producing under his Godfather Entertainment.

The project is a $20 million independently financed film that will aim for cameos by a number of high-profile Hollywood personalities.

In Edwards' "Party," Peter Sellers starred as Hrundi V. Bakshi, an Indian extra who inadvertently is invited to a swank Hollywood party. Garibaldi, who has brought on Brandon Gibson and Jim Russo to help him write the script, will tweak the conceit, focusing on a blond Midwesterner whose appearance is changed by studio executives eager he fit a part.
