I was browsing around Bill Hicks' site and I stumbled on some information about a possible biopic about the legendary comedian.

Some radio station in Australia was having a discussion about Russell Crowe preparing to play Bill Hicks in a movie directed by Ron Howard.

Russell Crowe as Bill? I dunno.

I looked at Crowe's and Howard's profiles on imdb for any kind of information regarding a movie about Bill, but I found nothing. Maybe it will take a few years for this to see any kind of green light. If it's not just an unsubstatiated rumor, that is.

Personally, I would LOVE to see a movie about Hicks. I think it's long overdue.

i'd like to see a good documentary about hicks but a movie?...mmm...i dont know...i would hate to see his legacy made a shambles out of

a movie would be interesting i suppose. anythin new on bill would be great

Didn't they already basically make one called "Lenny", starring Dustin Hoffman?

Lenny is a fantastic movie about an equally brilliant comic, but, in my opinion, Lenny Bruce and Bill Hicks are on different sides of the spectrum.

I was more being an ass about Hicks being a Bruce clone, than being serious.
