Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Matt & Trey


Of course I'll gladly defer to anyone closely involved with the production, but I really think it is Alec Baldwin. Much of the press surrounding the film's release made a big deal of it. I believe the Maurice La Marche confusion started on the IMdb.

Recently heard a funny story that when they first screened the film for executives Matt and Trey showed footage of a horrible looking puppet against a hand-drawn backdrop of Paris and at least one executive screamed "oh no, they f--ked us!" before the shot panned to the real sets and puppets.

Those wacky Colorado boys, eh?

>Maybe someone involved with the production can give a definitive answer to the Alec Baldwin/Maurice La Marche question, but I think the idea that Alec Baldwin was going to play himself in the movie might have been a rumor before the film actually came out, rather than reflective of the actual casting and recording.
