Jeff Bridges as Tom RileyĪs badly as I wanted to cast Sam Elliott here, I think Tom Riley needs a curveball. It is time for her to spread her wings and portray the oldest sibling she was born to play. Willa Holland (interestingly, no relation to Tom) has typically played the younger sibling (on Arrow and The O.C.) but she has the authoritative tone for a firstborn. She could frequently be a bit overbearing in a very oldest sibling way, and as an oldest sibling, I resent the stereotype (I, myself, have always been plagued by self-doubt and a lack of ambition and am therefore deeply distrustful of birth order personality test hacks.)īut Donna was an oldest sibling, and so as an oldest sibling we must cast her. Jimmy’s older sister, Donna, likewise served as Odyssey’s stock girl character. Lerman’s face-so tender, so trusting-would serve him well. Whenever someone needed to learn a valuable lesson about boy things, Jimmy was good for it. Jimmy Barclay served as Odyssey’s stock boy character. What you see is what you get, and you know you can trust Holland. And a big reason for that is Holland’s innocent and honest face. Tom Holland has done a fantastic job taking on the role of Spider-Man. I assume the reason an announcement for a live-action remake hasn’t happened yet is that nobody’s sure who to cast, a problem we aim to rectify: Tom Holland as Jimmy Barclay And while many of the episodes slipped into the worst of Christian entertainment’s tendencies (one infamous episode ended up with a character getting attacked by a forest demon after playing too much Dungeons & Dragons) the writing staff had a knack for humor and characterization, and the voice actors were top-notch. I measured long car rides in how many Odyssey episodes you could listen to on the way. My parents bought me almost every episode on tape. The ice cream parlor also had a time machine, which did not make it nearly as popular a tourist destination as you might think. Sooner or later, there’s bound to be a live-action remake of Adventures in Odyssey.įor the uninitiated, Adventures in Odyssey centered around the many adventures of John Whitaker, a portly, aging inventor who owned and operated an ice cream parlor where kids would go when they needed a moral lesson tacked on to their daily lives. We can only assume that Christian filmmakers will eventually catch onto this trend of recycling old materials and getting audiences to pay to watch it again. Disney has been on a roll recently, turning their cartoon classics in live-action films, from Cinderella to Pinocchio to the upcoming Little Mermaid.
