If Freddie were still here, he probably would have been making movies by now ...

What kind of movie role(s) would you like to see Freddie play?

I see him in "The Three Musketeers." Still playing it funny, but in those loose shirts and boots, with a sword! And how about those swordfighting scenes? Wow!

MariposaLKB · 04-01-2001, 06:31 PM

Not to mention the tight pants-Mmmmmm...!

I see him a remake of "West Side Story," as Maria's brother, singing and dancing and making us cry when he dies. Or maybe in a GOOD Zorro movie--swords and tight pants again, plus the mask around those huge gorgeous brown eyes!

I have one better, and with sword play. I just finished watching "The Mark of Zorro" with Tyrone Power. I could see Freddie playing the part of Deigo. He could play it straight, with his humor adding to the part, as opposed to doing a farsical send up, as George Hamilton did. I understand from interviews he gave he had always desired to play serious roles. He could have the next Tyrone Power or Douglas Fairbanks Jr.!!!

I posted before I read your reply, mariposa. Again, I think we have a case of great minds thinking alike. I always loved the Zorro movies and the show on Disney. He was such a romantic figure, and Freddie would have been perfect in the role.

MariposaLKB · 04-01-2001, 06:51 PM

I said that about Zorro not only because I truly could see Freddie in the role, but also because in his mother's book, she says he was into Zorro as a child, watching the show and then trying to be Zorro by jumping off the back of the couch and stuff! (No I don't actually have the book--dying to though!)

I would love to get a copy, also. If I ever come across a copy, It's mine. If I find Two, It's yours too!!!

Pitooey · 04-01-2001, 07:04 PM

I can definitly see him in those swashbuckler roles! He would look good as Zorro. I can see him in the movie "Don Juan DeMarco" a movie that Johnny Depp played with Marlon Brando. That role would've been good for him too.

Flora · 04-01-2001, 07:42 PM

What about a more modern scenario, like Mel Gibson in "Lethal Weapon?"

Luckymama58 · 04-01-2001, 07:47 PM

I don't know, maybe. If the part called for a romantic lead with a good sense of humor. And plenty of adventure, maybe not Indiana Jones of James Bond, but something like that, that would highlight Freddie's true talents. AND BODY!!!!

MariposaLKB · 04-01-2001, 09:20 PM

Re: Don Juan de Marco--I'd take Freddie in that role over Johnny Depp any day, and twice on Sunday!!!!

Flora · 04-01-2001, 11:25 PM

Hey, Luckymama,

Speaking of romantic leads, what about Freddie doing something like Tom Hanks' role in "You've Got Mail?" Imagine that kiss at the end of the movie!!!

MariposaLKB · 04-03-2001, 07:08 AM

I've got another role for Freddie--how about Antonio Banderas's part in "Evita"? Singing, dancing, looking hot in a military uniform and beret! For that matter, put Freddie in anything Antonio has ever done--Freddie was a much better actor, and he could speak English!

Pitooey · 04-03-2001, 12:52 PM

Has anyone seen The bridges of Madison county? I can see him in the role better than Clint Eastwood..... WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I love all these ideas!

I've just been watching "Horatio Hornblower" on A&E.

How about Freddie in Horatio's uniform? Maybe he could play the captain of a Spanish galleon! Yowza!
