New Line is adapting the classic sitcom. And yes British hypesters, it was a knockoff of Man About the House, we know.


The real question I have for you is.....Chrissy, Cindee, or Terri? Janet was always fair game.

 

[Warhammer]

This show was way before my time but I watched the hell out of it on Nick at Nite. I have to say Janet was the baddest b****. Season 1 Chrissy is second by a hair.

 

[Sundancer]

Casting Jack Tripper will be tricky. That role made John Ritter a legend.

 

[Sawyer]

My level of trust in studio-based comedy these days tells me that the casting for this will be God awful.

Like, seriously, dollars to doughnuts, Rebel Wilson ends up playing Chrissy.

Maybe Mr. Furley could swing both ways, like he made fun of Jack being gay but at the same time he was secretly attracted to him.

These actresses may be older than what they would want to go with but here is a quick cast list I threw together. All characters may not even be featured anyways.

Janet: Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Chrissy: Amanda Seyfried
Cindy: Chloe Grace Moretz much younger cousin of Chrissy.
Terri: Jennifer Lawrence

 

[Scarlet Spider]

Chrissy all the way.

Young Suzanne Somers.

PG-13 would suffice but I feel like they're gonna follow the recent comedic trend and go for an R rating.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Just get Jason Ritter.

 

[Raiden]

Three's Company is still my favorite sitcom of all times (yes, I'm old enough to have seen this on TV). I think John Ritter's son, Jason, should be the new Jack.

 

[Mad Ones]

Is the movie set in the present day? Is there even still a stigma about a man living with two women in North America (Santa Monica no less)?

The original show is simultaneously ahead of its time and quite dated. Not sure if its formula can work today. Might be interesting to see how it's updated.

 

[terry78]

I think they may either make Roper very very old fashioned or just keep it in the 70s.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

Is the movie set in the present day?

No. According to the trades, they're maintaining the original 1970's setting.

 

[Octoberist]

Just get Jason Ritter.

May he rest in peace.

 

[nite-owl]

Wait, what?

I' am pretty sure Jason Ritter is still alive.

 

[Octoberist]

No he died in 2003. He died on the set of his then-new show "8 Simples Rules".

The news was everywhere and they replaced him with a new character played by David Spade.

 

[Octoberist]

Edit: Haha I misread it! Jason is alive and well.

 

[terry78]

Jason voiced Dipper on Gravity Falls, man

 

[PyroChamber]

I think they may either make Roper very very old fashioned or just keep it in the 70s.

If they use Roper, I hope he's not too homophobic like on the show.

 

[Sawyer]

The homophobia is like 50% of his character.

 

[tzarinna]

I used to have a huge crush on Jack. I was so jealous of those *****es that got to shack up with him and deny his carnal desires.

Now it's a party.

That was Mr. Roper.

 

[STARMAN]

John Ritter was able to salvage the b-level material. I still get a kick out of his Jack Tripper.
