J3FF3R00 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hicks was 32 when he died. Russell Crowe is a bit too old to play him, amirite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roasty Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3FF3R00 Posted July 22, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delet... Posted July 22, 2012 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zkreso Posted July 22, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anyone be brave enough to offer him any real criticism/advice though, lest they receive an angry phone to the face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ifeelspace Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 There is no way that the movie will do justice to the legacy of Bill Hicks. Best avoided imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3FF3R00 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Again, Spacey is much older than 32. If he wasn't, then maybe. Definitely closer to the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atop Posted July 24, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candiru Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 At first I thought it meant Cameron Crowe. Even that would make slightly more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
