No opinion needed, WAY more people know the name of George Carlin than they ever will of Bill Hicks.

Yeah well I think Russell Crowe is THE best actor right now. If anyone can do great biopics, he can.

They've already done a documentary called It's Just A Ride on the Revelations Dvd. Although looking at the cast on it I don't remember seeing George Bush anywhere in the documentary, but he's listed anyway.

Something totally unrelated but I'm sure Hicks would have a chuckle at this, type wanker into IMDB and see who it comes up with.

I'd love to see a good docu of Bill.

The thing is, I've always heard that an actual biopic movie about Bill's life and death was in the works.

"Why is Bill Hicks unknown when Denis Leary is famous?

Because there's no cure for cancer."

Yeah.

A biopic would probably suck, as many seem to think in this thread.

I dunno. With the right director and actor, a biopic might be passable.

Yep I hold this opinion too.

I could see John Ritter as Hicks.
I think hes way too old to play him now though.

Crowe does look like him, but you're right someone else should play Bill Hicks

Well............10 years ago? Maybe. Now, though? I dunno. Crowe just doesn't seem age appropriate for the role, if you ask me.

It's animated real photos of Bill, using the same technique as the movie Kid Stays in the picture.. Checkout the trailer for that film, but the Hicks film does it much better I think
