Brendan Fraser was the one they picked to play Dudley Do-Right and although Fraser's okay, from what I've seen of the preview, it didn't look like a Paul Gross kind of vehicle. If you're interested, Gross did play Ned Land in the most recent revamp of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea - a very Verne faithful version. It's only drawback -from my son's viewpoint - was the lack of the song which Kirk Douglas sung in the Disney version: Whale of a Tale...which could be a whole other thread.
