“#The Far Side Almost Became a Live-Action Movie and There’s Photos to Prove It<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nCan you imagine a live-action movie adaptation of The Far Side, the popular comic series<\/a> by reclusive cartoonist Gary Larson? Somebody in Hollywood sure did, as there was once an attempt in Tinseltown to do just that. For better or for worse, the project fizzled out before it could make any real traction, but not before a group of actors made up to look like Far Side<\/em> characters had screen-tested for the movie.<\/p>\n

The revelation comes straight from actor Dirk Blocker<\/em><\/strong> (Brooklyn Nine-Nine<\/em>), who divulged his followers with this information on Twitter<\/a>. Blocker was actually attached to the project to app<\/a>ear in a main role alongside John Larroquette. The planned movie was to be written and directed by Alan Rudolph. It ultimately wasn’t meant to be, but Blocker does appear in a pair of images featuring the actors, which you can take a look at below.<\/p>\n

Many years ago we were part of a test for a Far Side film. Sadly, nothing came of it, but we had a grand time. pic.twitter.com\/jWyeuyxK1o<\/a><\/p>\n

“Many years ago we were part of a test for a Far Side<\/em> film. Sadly, nothing came of it, but we had a grand time,” Blocker said. In a previous post on Instagram sharing the same images, Blocker also wrote: “TBT came across this from a Far Side screen test many moons ago. Didn’t go anywhere but we laughed a lot & got to meet the amazing Gary Larson.”<\/p>\n
