The Princess Bride-ish

The other day, I wrote here about a celebrity fan-made home version "remake" of The Princess Bride, which is being presented on the Quibi streaming service as a fundraiser for Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen.  I also posted a few minutes of video clips from the production.

Participants recorded their sequences alone at home, separate from all others in the same scene -- unless they were sheltering at home together.  And not only do different actors play the same characters throughout the production, sometimes different actors even play same same character in the same scene.  And switch genders with women playing men and vice versa.

For those interested, you can get the full thing here at Quibi.

However, for those who are intrigued but want to know a bit more before they dive in, here is almost 15 minutes of one complete section, the "Battle of Wits" sequence, where Westley and Inigo Montoya meet, and cross paths with Vizzini and Fezzik the Giant.

Here's the cast of characters, in case you need a cheat sheet.  And you will.  With a few other additions thrown in for good measure.

Jack Black - Westley

Diego Luna - Inigo Montoya

Kaitlyn Dever - Westley

Finn Wolfhard - Inigo Montoya

King Bach - Vizzini

Dave Bautista - Fezzik

David Spade - Westley

Tom Lennon - Prince Humperdink

Oliver Lennon - Rugen

Patton Oswalt - Vizzini

Jon Hamm - Westley
