Brittomart Okay, ladies and gentleman, scenario time!

You have an automatic greenlight on any biopic (movie about a person's life) about anyone you want. What person would it be? Who would be your principal cast? Who would direct it? Soundtrack choices???

For example, my best friend and I really like the idea of a W.B. Yeats biopic with Joseph Gordon-Levitt as younger yeats, Liam Neeson as older Yeats. For Maud Gonne? Probably Chrstine Ehle. Christina Hendricks DEFINITELY as Margot Rubbock.

Ken (playjerist) | 721 comments Making a biopic about Yeats most certainly will require the green light to be AUTOMATIC.

I’m trying to think of a good biopic on the life of a poet. HOWL is sort of a hybrid faux-documentary about the poem and a biopic of Ginsberg. TOTAL ECLIPSE about Rimbaud was pretty much a stinker.

Brittomart reading the holocaust section of Korczak's wiki article just made me cry.

Ken (playjerist) | 721 comments I’d be shocked if this one hasn’t been optioned. Jack Parsons’ story is ready for prime time.
