It's happeningCollectively, the entire Von Erich family. It very much wouldn't be a happy film though. Fritz Von Erich might have been the Joe Jackson of pro wrestling.

I believe Tommy Lee Jones played him in the Lincoln biopic a few years ago. They weren't subtle in making it clear that his black housekeeper was really his mistress and also gave a lot of time to showing him arguing in the Senate.Thaddeus Stevens - Wikipedia

Dude was a badass.
He probably hasn't faced a lifetime of adversity that other people in this thread have, but I think his rivalry with Rafa and Novak are interesting. Or at least, as interesting as a tennis movie about John Mcenroe and Bjorn Borg, which they made. Perhaps not as interesting as the Venus and Serena movie, though that movie isn't even about their tennis careers.
I would make it about how Roger conquered the tennis world and helped to usher in a level of tennis never seen before, then was himself surpassed and celebrated.
Again, it's not a film where you see a lot of conflict unless you actually like tennis, but I like tennis. As with many of these modern biopics, it's all about the framing. What does Federer say about the human experience?
I watched a play about Wojtek at the Edinburgh Fringe some years ago, it was great. Definitely would work as a film.
i love my guy but he's boring af lol.
There pretty much was and you absolutely need to see it. What a wild ride. Probably Hawke's best role:

You nailed the description of him lmao
No prob. I'm due for a rewatch.Holy shit! I love Ethan Hawke too! How haven't I heard of this? Thank you so much!
Also, thanks to the people pointing out there's a film coming on the Von Erich family. I'm not even really into pro wrestling anymore, but I just know a film on that would be super compelling and dark. Like a film on the Jackson Family, only with more people cosplaying as Nazis.
The fourth Mamluk sultan of Egypt and Syria. He was one of the commanders of the Egyptian forces that inflicted a defeat on the Seventh Crusade of King Louis IX of France. He also led the vanguard of the Egyptian army at the Battle of Ain Jalut in 1260, which marked the first substantial defeat of the Mongol army and is considered a turning point in history
Yeah his life is extraordinary but it's also incredibly sad.I'm surprised we haven't gotten a movie about Marvin Gaye's life yet
Britney spears or Vince McMahon. But then again...at least Vince still has years left to be even more shit. Not sure if any drama is happening with Spears
Yeah seriously. One of the greatest singers ever, Let's Get it On will be sampled til the end of time, and his own father murdered him on April Fools Day.
Nobody will ever go near this individual, not even with a ten-foot clown pole.
I don't think not showing a graphic shotgun blast really compares to not showing any details of a life altering multi-year sickness. Either way I really don't want a Nirvana movie or a Kurt biopic, I can't imagine it turning out in any way interesting if the recent flood of these movies is anything to go by.Would be boring if they didn't show the shotgun. Bohemian bored me by pretty much ignoring the aids. Show me a true representation, if you don't, don't even make the movie.
Downloaded a few eps on the guy. Thanks!Juan Pujol Garcia, the original Double Agent, and a spy so efficient and skilled he was able to get Medals of Honor from both the Axis and the Allies during WW2. Dude hated the Nazis to an unheard of degree and dedicated his entire life to informing the SAS about them, even going so far as to create an entire network of fake spies who were all him.

Like this guy's story is absolutely insane, and they've tried to make narrative biopics about him multiple times but they've always fallen through. I worked on a pitch for a biopic about him but told from his (fellow spy) wife's perspective, but it never took off.
I heard Moe Berg's story on NPR once, but I didn't know about this movie (The Catcher is a Spy), thanks!I was going to say Moe Berg and then when I checked I saw that there was a Paul Rudd movie about him from a few years ago. I'll have to watch it sometime.
the issue with a vince one is it will probably be wwe produced. So it will be completely toothless and biased in his favor.
Is this a music rights issue, like when Jenna Maroney was going to be in a biopic about Janis Joplin and it ended up being about Jackie Jormp-Jomp?On the opposite side I cannot believe they made 2 Jimi Hendrix biopics that didn't have any Jimi Hendrix music
I'm surprised we haven't gotten a movie about Marvin Gaye's life yet
This one would be strictly for the cameos of young movie stars lolRoger Corman, one of the most influential men in Hollywood.
Many top actors and directors had their first jobs working for Corman.
Lakeith Stanfield I think has the acting chops but I don't know if he can sing at allThis is mine as well
I assume it's due to his estate not signing off on showing the unsavoury parts of his life. Many many years ago Usher said that he was set to star in a Gaye biopic, obviously didn't happen. Not sure that he has the acting chops, but he definitely has the voice.
Who would you pick to play him? I think my call is Donald Glover
It's called Purple Rain, you can't convince me otherwise.
"Sir, I may be just a truck driver with no movie experience but I'll do anything to work on one of your pictures"This one would be strictly for the cameos of young movie stars lol
There is a biopic about Saladin and it's even mentioned in the Wikipedia article you posted. It's called Saladin the Victorious and it was directed by Youssef Chahine who is often considered the greatest Egyptian film director. I haven't seen it but it's supposed to be very good if not totally accurate.
Kublai Khan, the only stuff we've got (as far as I know) is through Marco Polo's perspective. Give me his much more interesting story
I gotta check that out.There is a biopic about Saladin and it's even mentioned in the Wikipedia article you posted.
