It is Boba Fett.

Sure, he has a different name, but this is clearly Favreau going "Man, the prequels really took away the mystique of the silent, badass bounty hunter I'd always imagined that character to be. I'll just file the serial numbers off and make a Boba Fett show that can circumvent all that backstory."

This gives more agency to Favreau than I think he deserves

(I've also heard of roles which were advertised as "... similar to [actor name]" and that actor went for the role and didn't get it. :v:)

You'll see a lot of stories of actors hearing "get me a [that actor's name] type" and trying to get the role, then losing out to somebody else.

I remember someone saying Herzog had a lot of fun doing Jack Reacher, mostly because he wanted to see how a big budget action movie was shot. He's also done cartoon voice over and sitcom cameos in recent years, so I wouldn't be surprised if he just did some of this stuff out of curiosity for how it's done.

yeah whenever you think "oh man how did they get Werner Herzog" just remember that he has been on episodes of The Boondocks, American Dad, Rick and Morty, and a season of Metalocalypse. (which means he has much better taste in animated television than David Lynch, who was a supporting voice on the loving Cleveland Show for multiple years.)

Agreed, but it's so close to being called El Camino: A Breaking Bad Story that it doesn't help.

Ya know, I had avoided clicking on this trailer based on the thumbnail because I was expecting a corny Hallmark Channel-style romantic holiday movie. I was way off. I actually chuckled at quite a few of the jokes in that trailer, so who am I to write it off. I gotta say, Disney+ is really coming in hot with a bunch of original content.

Did Werner Herzog actually appear in an episode of SpongeBob?

Also, the real Disney+ news is the new season of Lizzie McGuire with Hillary Duff returning.

On the flip side there's the time Mel Brooks was making Blazing Saddles he advertised for a "Frankie Laine type" to sing the theme song and Blaine himself took the gig and sung the hell out of the song and Brooks didn't have the heart to tell him it was a spoof movie. :v:

They actually showed some restraint in how they sold it. They didn't try to oversell it as a big blockbuster.

It's literally a movie in the vein of the Lady and The Tramp and Noelle movies they're premiering on their streaming service, aka "we somehow accidentally made a movie cheaper than $250 million and we're horribly confused on how to sell anything that cheap to make so we're dumping them out there."

They've constantly been making attempts to re-monetize their back catalogue of beloved animated films and they've been trying to perfect their formula of creating live action remakes since at least the mid 90s, it's bizarre that they're still so bad at promoting them.
