I read in EW that a Marilyn Monroe one is coming up starring Renee Zellweger

Cactus Jack · 05-04-2003, 07:58 PM

COOL!

Renee would be a great Monroe

If they do one for Milton Berle, he should be played by Jim Carrey

Well HBO did a Marilyn one a few years ago with Ashley Judd but Renee would be interesting as well.

I wish we could skip into the future and see ones on Britney Spears and Hilary Duff.

I would guess maybe Bob Hope. His 100th birthday is coming up this month. But WHO would play him?

Any ideas?

It must take alot of talent as a writer to do a biopic, I know some famous celebs are mentioned and quoted in many books and auto-biograhpies- but how do you write the rest of the script, like the stuff the press knew about their private life but doesn't have any dialogue of it? Anyway- I think they always wait till a celeb's dead to do a biopic- so the only people to bitch is the relatives and not the celebs themselves. Anyway- though dick van dyke 'kinda' did this one- Buster Keaton will probably get one. They will probably end up making not really a biopic par sé; but more of a tv movie about some controversial set of a tv show- different strokes was supposedly very 'violen't and controversial with the cast not getting along- but on dick van dyke dvd and mary moore both were alcoholics- so they might get a biopic. Also- James Dean or River Phoenix could get one. Trick to getting a biopic- do something controversial- just one thing- and the media somehow stretches to a two or 3 hour film about it.

for the love of abraham shorten ur sig. it takes up too much memory and it slows everything down.

Cybill Shepherd plays Martha Stewart in Martha's bipic- Marth Stewart. Inc, or something like that. I know Martha has celebrity status probably because she's so odd and perfect that people were all going 'look at her, miss good two shoes' so everyone started looking. Anyway- did Martha lead an interesting life?

*ShortCake* · 05-10-2003, 07:59 PM

I dont think anyone out there could play Bob Hope but Bob Hope himself.. but thats just my little opinion on it lol

°Bubbly Blonde° · 05-10-2003, 08:23 PM

Renee would be good as Marilyn. I could see in 50 years J. Lo having one, and maybe Madonna. I'd like to see a Natalie Wood movie over her life, I heard theyre going to be doing one in 2004.
