KAPLAN OK'S KOTTER
Responding to the news that a big-screen version of
Welcome Back, Kotter is in the works — with
Ice Cube in the title role and the locale switched to South Central L.A. —
Gabe Kaplan told
Access Hollywood, "It's totally acceptable. I think it could work and I think [Ice Cube] is the perfect guy." Asked to flesh out the cast, Kaplan suggested "
Snoop Dogg will play Horshack and
Vanilla Ice would play Barbarino."
