TDQ: Any chance in hell of there really being a “Mr. Belvedere” movie?

Beckham: It’s entirely possible… but not likely. If they did want to recycle the property, I think it would be a modern reboot of the original films more than a big screen adaptation of the TV series, since movies based on sitcoms have (rightfully) become less popular in the past decade. And even then, as your article touched on with Daniel Craig, male nanny “Mr. Mom” comedies of today are action/family hybrids starring guys like Vin Diesel, Hulk Hogan and The Rock. A wise, well-mannered Englishman probably isn’t gonna cut it at the box office. But you never know. Hugh Grant begrudgingly goes to work for Vince Vaughn? Continue reading →

The Daily Quarterly: How did you hear about thedailyquarterly.com?

Brice Beckham: You mentioned me in a tweet about one of your articles, in which you had “quoted” me about my “involvement” in the upcoming “Mr. Belvedere movie.” I tend to notice when people virtually tap me on my electronic shoulder and say, “Guess what, we made up some junk about you!”

Who has the time to tell time?

Who has the time to tell time? Watchmakers have yet to establish standards for watchface design.

New Orleans—Michael Travers has a mission: To completely eradicate the worldwide problem of adults and children not being able to tell time. After showing up late for our interview, he immediately flew into his spiel about how the problem gets swept under the rug by society and “literally, gets zero, zero funding from the government.”

Daniel Craig

Daniel Craig could bring the action and adventure to the Mr. Belvedere character that the late actor Christopher Hewett could not.

Hollywood—Several sources close to the project have come out confirming that “Mr. Belvedere” will be coming to a theater near you sometime in 2012.

The sitcom, which starred Christopher Hewitt as the titular butler hired by the Owens family in Pennsylvania, ran on ABC from 1985 to 1990.

“Since the day we left the air, there has been talk of making a movie,” said Brice Beckham, who played Wesley Owens on the show. Continue reading →
