J3FF3R00 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hicks was 32 when he died. Russell Crowe is a bit too old to play him, amirite?

roasty Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) They could pull it off, just about. I don't reckon he'll play Hicks though. There was a rumour round 2008 that Crowe would play Hicks in a Coen brothers adaptation that never materialized..Edit: unsure if it's the same script, but it seems like it Edited July 22, 2012 by roasty Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/74855-crowe-to-direct-film-about-bill-hicks/#findComment-1852908 Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3FF3R00 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Who could play him and do his story justice? Really. I kinda hate it when Hollywood tries to reflect a larger-than-life personality through mediocre script and casting choices. Did we all forget Man on the Moon already? That was the same guy who directed Amadeus. Shit won't work.

delet... Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Crowe couldn't be the lead actor. He has no comedic sense. As for dicrecting, vanity pic. It would fail. But, the content is many, and if he accepts advice from the learned. It could work. But acting in it as the lead is out of the picture. Sure he has the same forehead, but a forehead maketh not a convincing portrayal. And as we pan down the rabbitohs guernsey becomes apparent. Above is an actual image of russell motivating his troops to lose. (he is part owner of the rugby league team) Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide all signatures A member of the non sequitairiate.

zkreso Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 There is a documentary about him that I thought was pretty good. Not sure why we need a film as well.

Ifeelspace Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 There is no way that the movie will do justice to the legacy of Bill Hicks.

awepittance Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) another actor pet project biopic that has been in hollywood production hell along with Paul Giamati's PKD 'owl in dayligt' film. Even doing an Andy Kaufman movie was a risk from a financial perspective, i think even less people know about Hicks.

Atop Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 yeah I know he is old, almost got to ask him if he would ever want to play Hicks in a film at question and answer I was at with Spacey talking about American Beauty. I felt it was too obscure to ask, so I didn't.
