Blog Guy, I read that they’re doing a remake of the classic 1980 comedy “Caddyshack.” That means we’ll see the great Bill Murray again in that hysterical gopher scene?

No. They’ve gone another direction with the casting. The part of Carl Spackler is being played by Thailand’s prime minister, as you can see in this studio publicity photo taken today.

Okay, hang on. Why would they use a Thai politician? What’s Bill Murray doing now?

He and George Clooney are working on an earthquake disaster film. Look at the photo below, from Italy during the G8 summit.

Why would Bill Murray and George Clooney need to be where the G8 summit is?

I guess they represented the Thai prime minister so he could keep shooting “Caddyshack.”

You’re driving me nuts here. In the photo, the prime minister is with a ferret, not a gopher.

Yes, that ferret is a big star in Thailand. On the movie set, he…

Please don’t say it.

Yes, he has his own gofer.
