Biopics you would like to see?
 

J. Edgar Hoover? Margaret Thatcher? Pfft. Who would you like to see?

I'd love to see films on:

Walt Disney
Nikola Tesla

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

Walt Disney would be a great one. I wonder who would play Disney?

If they can ever get the legal stuff worked out, I'd love to see a biopic on 2pac.

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

Not exactly a person but I would love to see a Grateful Dead biopic (you would actually need a 10 hour HBO miniseries).

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

And that's just for Drums/Space.

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

Salvador Dali (Little Ashes doesn't count)
Jello Biafra
Stanley Kubrick

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

Long overdue:
Henry Berry Lowrie (The Swamp Outlaw)

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

William McMaster Murdoch.

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

Miles Davis

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

I can't believe there hasn't been a biopic on The Beatles with their enormous popularity that has spanned generations.

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

Wasn't their a movie last year based on one of the Beatles?

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

That could be one hell of a film. :thumbsup:

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

A GG Allin biopic staring Ben Foster.

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

There was one on Lennon's early years that came out in 2009 called Nowhere Boy. I haven't seen it though. I guess I just find it surprising there hasn't been one on them though. It seems like an obvious choice.

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

Steve Irwin would be a good one.

Jackie Robinson would be great.

And Milos Forman should do an Amy Winehouse biopic, that would be really interesting to see.

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

Chris Farley was in talks to do Fatty Arbuckle before he died. David Mamet wrote the script.

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

Good thing he died then. Farley is a terrible choice.

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

More than anything I can think of right now, I would like to see Sergey Bodrov film the second film about Genghis Khan.

It's been on again, off again, on again, off again...

Man I hope that film gets made.

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

:lol: nobody else could handle that role!


I agree with a Miles Davis biopic. :up:

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

John Brown
Louise Brooks
Stephen Austin
Sitting Bull

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

Elvis Presley. We have already had movies for the early years. I would like to see one about the last ten years of his life.

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

I think the enormous popularity is exactly why there hasn't been a Beatles biopic. It would probably be difficult to get all of the surviving members and widows to sign off on it (which I imagine would be necessary to get the music), especially if it doesn't paint them in the best light.

Is that Nolan Bushnell movie still on? That could be interesting.

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

We can't even get Let It Be on dvd or blu-ray because the Beatles don't like how they come off in it. I doubt a biopic would ever happen while Paul, Ringo and the the widows are still alive. The music rights would be even harder to get.

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

Robert Johnson
Jimmy Page
Aleister Crowley

Re: Biopics you would like to see?
 

:up: I was going to suggest Louise Brooks.
