Escondido DMV closure impacts nearby offices

Let's pray that Hollywood, in its never ending quest to provide audiences with original, thought-provoking material, doesn't DY-NO-MITE! the planned big screen bump up of the '70's comedy sensation, Good Times.
Deadline reports the Sony Pictures adaptation of the CBS sitcom (it originally aired between 1974 and 1979) will be produced by Scott Rudin (Bringing out the Dead, No Country for Old Men) and written by Phil Johnston (Wreck-It Ralph, Cedar Rapids).
There has been no mention of a cast as of yet, and since Mr. Rudin was kind enough to produce one of Marty's films, I thought I'd save him some time by putting together this list of suggested talent.

John, it wasn't Willie the Wino... it was Ned the Wino... which leads me to offer these casting choices in the minor roles:
Ned The Wino, formerly played by Raymond Allen, will be in the capable hands of Cedric The Entertainer.
The role of Sweet Daddy Williams (Theodore Wilson on L) will be played by comedian Katt Williams (R), whenever he can clear his most recent charges.
The Evans' alderman, Fred C. Davis (no relation to Fred G. Sanford) was played by Alfred Reed, Jr. In the update, the producers will be daring and cast Don Rickles and a boat load of Shinola.
THIS JUST IN: Willona will be played by internet sensation Sweet Brown: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh7UgA...>
