If they were to make a movie about your life...

What would be the title, and which actor/actress would play you?

Creative answers appreciated.

(Note: I'm not asking who you'd WANT to play you or what you'd WANT the title to be ;) For example, I'd probably WANT Will Smith to play me, because if I were gay I'd totally have my room wallpapered with Will Smith posters... but he doesn't look anything even remotely like me so he'd not be the best choice to portray me in a film.)

"Coming this Thanksgiving... It is a story of trust and betrayal,
"Dude, keep this to yourself."
"oh my god man, I'm so sorry"

a story of pain and joy,
"I don't love you anymore."
"It's a boy!"

a story of a fall from grace and a return to innocence.
"We have to advise you that you have the right to remain silent."
"Are you worthy to go to the Temple?"

Starring Vincent D'Onofrio as a one-time mechanic turned software developer, who on the path of his destiny finds himself in at the deepest pits of despair, and the heights of hope.
"I had the gun in my mouth!"
"I'll always be there for you."

It's an exploration of two cultures.
"Tu eres un gringo, pues"
"Oh my god I can't believe you just said muskrat pie."

Of the best angels of our nature,
"You saved my life..."
And the worst in us.
"You ever say that again and I'll rip out your spine and shove it up your *BEEP*"

Don't miss:

The title?

Mud Wrestling: The Musical

I'll be the Rocky of mud wrestling films set to a Gilbert and Sullivanesque performance.

I'm thinking that after a limited broadway run, we'll adapt it to film.

As for who will play me, I think there's only one man(other than myself) who can. He may be older and lankier, but:

Nick Hoult or Sam Riley, to feature in an unbelievably arty pastiche of "Control" entitled "The Boy with a Thorn in his Side".

"Comprometida"

With Penélope Cruz as myself.

Procrastination Central

Starring Jeff Bridges right out of Big Lebowski. Who cares if he's male?

The Strange and Curious Tale of Vojvodina-Nihon (2XXX)
(directed by William Kuhugufugu al-Beckett)

Starring: We can't really tell, he was wearing a mask.

This extraordinarily moving film explores the full gamut of life's experiences, from birth to death and back again. And it accomplishes it in only 25 seconds, including the credits. [More....]

Rated R for thematic elements, nudity, and inciting epileptic seizures.

The soundtrack consists of the entirety of Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" sped up to fit into the allotted time slot.

It would be called, simply, Joseph, and would probably have someone I already know as an actor. Obviously. Not like we're going to get calls off George Clooney saying "I heard you're making a pretentious low-budget film as an exercise in egotism, I'd love to appear for free", now, is it?

dunno who'll play me, but the title and movie poster would probably look something similar to this.

A story about a man's life. Interesting at some times, incredibly boring at others. This spring Adrain Brody is living a life of "Mediocrity". Visit kindofalright.com for more info.

I would play myself, because no one could ever hope to catch the awesome ecessence, that is me!

As for the title, I'm either going with "Deformed" or "Shut the f@#$ up!

18-02-2008, 22:53
Geoffry Rush would play me.

Unless I can convince Coolio to play me, that would be most acceptable.

Soon to be released yet another story of rags to riches that involves more moral than story...or is that more story than moral. Starring Debra Winger. (because I look like her and I sound like her and people are always asking for her autograph :rolleyes:)

If anyone thought my life was interesting enough to make a movie out of, it would be a disastrous farce directed by Uwe Boll and probably involve Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton- and they won't be in a lesbian makeout scene either.

I'm not exactly old enough to have a movie about my life. If I were older though, I suspect it would be something like this.

Gods.... mine would be certainly a tragic comedy.:D
Amor Pulchritudo
19-02-2008, 00:45
Well, by the time I'm old enough to get around to making a film about my life, these actors will be too old, but...

I would like either the girl from Thirteen or Alison Lohman (White Oleander) to play me as a young teenager. Obviously, they'd have to dye their hair brown, though.

Well, I would probably say... Dang it, I don't know any actors who could play me! But I know the Title The Forums: Nationstates General cause the NS forums are my life:p

A romantic, tragic, dramatic comedy action movie documentary.

And playing me would be Jack Nicholson.
Infinite Revolution
19-02-2008, 01:41
mine'd be a cautionary tale of self-destruction and sloth. there's a few actors i've been told i look like but i can only remember elijah wood and i haven't looked like him since i was about 17. plus he can't grow decent chin fuzz and has brown hair.

That idea seems repulsive, for someone to make a movie of my life. Who cares what i did? Waste of money.
No what i would prefer would be a movie, that incorporated parts of all movies (other than horror and porn, cos they're pointless and lame),
to link every love story, story of failure, of success, of fantasy, of reality, of comedy into one ultimate achiement of musical Zombies, shakespears's plays, sci-fi graphics, comedic commentry, cliff-hangers, overthrowing governments, surreal monty pythons, into a collage that would overshadow any story.
I would pay hundreds to see a movie like that, hell even a story like that. I know it's never gonna happen, worth a shot though eh?

Mine would be The Runs. It would be similar to Groundhog Day, except the protagonist wouldn't realize the same day plays over again. I'm not sure who should play the protagonist - Daniel Cerny perhaps?

The Realist and I think Matthew Davis would play me if he hasn't aged too much in the past few years.

Mine would be:
"The very resistable rise of an invisible".

A sort of a crossbreed between Kafka, Gadda, Brecht and Gogol'. And in b/w. As actor Marcello Mastroianni would be perfect, but he's 1) too handsome and 2) slightly dead. As director, Soldini because Lattuada is dead, too. Music by Morricone - something on the lines of "Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto".

Would depend... a movie about my childhood would probably be called "The weird kid"

Right now, it would probably be "The woman next door - an erotic study"

Mine would be called Cure for Insomnia.

No, wait. The name's already taken (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cure_for_Insomnia).

"The Regulator" starring Bud Cort.

In a world gone mad, comes Gartref of the West to set things right.

Justice has a new name: The Regulator.

The problem is that I haven't encountered enough serious challenges for my life to be an interesting movie.

As for who plays me, well, I know one actor who could do the job - my brother. Yeah, he's an unknown, but he's good, he looks like me, and he could play the role very well.

The tale of one man trying to make sense of a surreal world, battling bureaucracy and trying not to let the bastards grind him down.

Directed by Terry Gilliam, it would be entitled Brazil and star Jonathan Pryce...

...Oh wait...
