March 14, 200620 yr It will be interesting to see if/when this gets made.... LOS ANGELES (AP)—"Welcome Back Kotter" is being made into a movie, with Ice Cube taking over for Gabe Kaplan in the starring role. Cube tells "Variety" that he's a big fan of the original show. Kaplan shares the rights to the series and he's been resisting a movie version for years. But he says he likes the way this project is shaping up.
March 14, 200620 yr Sounds like Gabe needs the cash. And if John Leguizamo isn't tapped to play Juan Epstein then there's gonna be hell to pay.

Though that would have been perfect casting a number of years ago. Maybe Ice Cube could get together with Cedric the Entertainer for some ideas since the Honeymooners did so well

Casting geriatric high-schoolers is a Welcome Back Kotter tradition.

Casting geriatric high-schoolers is a Welcome Back Kotter tradition. Actually Travolta was only 24 when WBK started. Then again...considering the NY school system he might have been a bit young for the part........ Edited March 14, 200620 yr by juddling

March 14, 200620 yr What the hell has happened to the movie industry. There is so much crap coming out, but people are still lapping it up. I mean come one "When a Stranger Calls" are you joking me, i heard that story around a camp fire when I was 4 and it wasnt scary then. On the other hand I did just watch Hustle and Flow last night. Really good movie somewhat of the same premise as 8 mile, but written about 10 times better, and I don't even like rap.
