Brendan O'Carroll as Doc Brown? In reboot of back to the future, what?

Back to the future is being rebooted in 2018.  A strange surprise to everyone as the original movies are classics which didn't need to be remade or rebooted. Read below for the full list of surprises! 

Back to the Future is  Fantasy/Science fiction film which aired in the 1980s. In small-town California teen Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is thrown back into the '50s when an experiment by his eccentric scientist friend Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) goes awry. Traveling through time in a modified DeLorean car, Marty encounters young versions of his parents (Crispin Glover, Lea Thompson), and must make sure that they fall in love or he'll cease to exist. Even more dauntingly, Marty has to return to his own time and save the life of Doc Brown.

Reviews from parents were "Parents need to know that Back to the Future is a family time-travel favorite that includes sequences that place the hero and his friends in physical jeopardy: an attack in which a sympathetic character is thought to be killed, a van chasing a teen on a skateboard, several episodes of bullying, and more. The violence is exaggerated and closer in tone to cartoon jeopardy than real danger, but some kids will no doubt find it tense. Several scenes show the hero's discomfort when the girl who will eventually be his mother tries to entice him with kisses and embraces; there's also a scene in which the beginnings of an assault on a high school girl are shown; she struggles/expresses fear, but intervention prevents anything else from happening. Strong language includes a couple memorable uses of "s--t," as well as "bastards," "damn," "a--hole," and a couple of racial slurs in the 1950s-set scenes. It's worth noting that this is the movie that alerted the public to the concept of product placement, with controversy arising from the near-constant visuals of Pepsi products and other brands."

Now for the reboot we're all asking who will play Doc Brown, the studio in charge of the reboot has contacted non other than Brendan O'Carroll to star as Doc Brown.In this weird, strange move which may or may not pay off. 

So what do you think will this be a good idea? Comment below.
