Sweet Jane 61 Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Cybill Shepherd has confirmed she is set to reunite with Bruce Willis for a movie adaptation of hit 1980s TV show Moonlighting. The actors have been discussing a return to their characters, Madelyn 'Maddie' Hayes and detective David Addison Jr respectively, with the programme's creator Glenn Carron, and work on a new script is already underway. She says: "When I spoke to Glenn Carron recently, he said he'd love to do some kind of reunion, and he's figuring out a way to do it that won't be corny. Watch this space." Willis recently revealed that he would be prepared to return to the role that made him a star, saying: "No one's writing those kind of comedy roles any more. It's so hard to invent a character like David Addison. When I read the Moonlighting script, I said: 'I know this guy. I know how this guy thinks.' "I'm shown many more scripts for action films, thrillers and scary movies than comedies. There just aren't people up for the challenge of writing characters and material that's funny." It'a about time!! Love, love this show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious_Peaches Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I loved that show, but this smacks of desperation. No good will come of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I am going to keep the faith that it will be good. Bruce Willis was at his best, I love him but he can't beat the role of David Addison. I am watching clips on youtube.com, top notch show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious_Peaches Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I think Bruce can pull it off, it's Cybil I'm worried about. Hasn't she gone crazy? Or was she always like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I think she has always been in a world of her own. I hope she won't pull the diva act, she needs to get over herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 I'm all for it. I haven't seen a Moonlighting episode in over 20 years. Is it still in syndication? One of my favorite episodes was when Maddie tried to De-Dave David Addison. That was the office limbo contest episode if you reccall. I also loved his rendition of R-E-S-P-E-C-T. I'm sure they can bring Cybil down from her Moon for the making of this movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 as I recall, they always filmed her through a softened filter, presumably to get rid of wrinkles. They'll have to reinforce that filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
