Really is great casting which I think is phenomenal given how amazing Laurel & Hardy were as a comic duo. The makeup job on John C. Reilly alone is worthy of an Oscar, brilliant job.
I think it would be interesting (although there's no way in holy hell it ever gets made) that during this time in entertainment the whole #metoo movement, post Weinstein Hollywood, that Fatty Arbuckle's story is told. I've read about it and hell I don't know if he was guilty or innocent but I think that ambiguity would really make for an impactful film because regardless of guilt or innocence you end up with a dead girl and a guy who was NEVER allowed to forget what he had been accused of. But alas Hollywood isn't into making films which make people think these days.
