    Kevin Hart as Roland?

    REALLY?

    ANd If they don’t include Jack, they clearly have 0 understanding of what made this series any good.

      This is what threw me when I first heard about this, Roland is like 6.5ft tall at minimum, Kevin Hart is like 4ft tall, even with prosthetics, risers, creative film angles, etc we will know how tall he really isn’t and it will break the illusion.

        Right? And Roland has that deep menacing voice while Hart…

        They could’ve at least went with Terry Crews if they really wanted a uber popular figure. He’s also far funnier.

          I hadn’t even thought about the voice. Holy shit you’re right, that’s going to be bad unless they auto tune it to sound more like game Roland. Though I fear they will lean into his voice and it will be horrendous.

    Yeah, this one is going to suck. But, I’ll probably watch it anyway as soon as I can download it from the high seas.
