Here we go...Homey the Clown...The Movie

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Yeah.

The 'In Living Color' (damn that was a long time ago!) Homey the Clown gets his own film vehicle, with washup Damon Wayans, the original Homey at the helm.

Wayons is famous for his Oscar snubbed performance in The Last Boyscout - a performance that still has critics speechless.

His brother, Keenan Ivory Wayans (who, shockingly, is less funny than the rest of his 15 and a half brothers) will direct.

Damon is far from a washup. His sitcom on ABC is a decent hit. Not that i watch it, but that's what i hear anyway

I agree with everyone else in thinking that this is about a decade too late. None the less, it should do decently at the box office from old fans remembering it

Homey the Clown was hilarious, but I don't think it was Damon Wayans' best character. I liked the Antoine Jackson character--the homeless guy.

It'd be cool if they could get Jim Carrey to do a cameo, but methinks that isn't likely.

Er, this might have been a funny sketch on ILC, but I can't imagine how they can stretch this out and keep the audience's full attention. Some SNL crossovers have done it, though, so maybe...?

Homey the Clown don't mess around....

Homey was funny in the 5 min sketches on ILC.

But a 2 hour movie?


Homey don't play that!

Hopefully this will do as well as the box-office smash, Marci X.

I'd rather see "In Living Color: The Movie" and bring back all the old characters:

When Antoine Jackson is falsely imprisoned for a crime he didn't comment, it's up to Homey the Clown, Firemarshall Bill and company to track down the elusive pickle jar that holds the very key to Antoine's life. This unlocks a series of climactic events and reveals a fortune in gold bullions leading up to a final battle of epic proportions in the African Congo. Will the gang succeed or will Homey simply not play dat?

Ok, that's a pipe dream.

I'm still waiting for the Handi-Man Movie. Nothing is funnier than a retarded superhero.

I like the credits on IMDB.

Cast (in alphabetical order)
Martin Klebba .... Homeless Legless Man
Damon Wayans .... Homey the Clown

That's it so far. Homey the Clow and a homeless legless man.
