Craig Schiffer, who played Norman in the original film, has agreed to play the part of the Reverend John Maclean and Tom Skerrit will have a cameo role as the elder Maclean. Rounding out the cast are Jessica Alba as Jesse Burns, Don Draper from Mad Men as Jesse's lovable brother Neil, and Cyndi, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" Lauper will play Neil's bar fly babe Rawhide.
