Pick someone whose life you think would make a great film.

My choice is Lightening Lee Murray.

Which of the following is true about "Lightning" Lee Murray?

(a) He's the meanest MMA fighter ever to walk the streets of London.

(b) He's suspected of masterminding the biggest bank heist in history.

(c) Although stuck in a Moroccan prison, he's a bit tricky to pin down.

Actually, it's (d) -- all of the above.

That's why Lee Murray would be so cool, it is a real English Gangster story.

Yeah, as thrilling as their climb to the top is for them, watching a sports player's life on the big screen as never been anything short of a waste of time.

mine

Ken Kesey.

climb to top... refusing to take a fall for the mob... dreaming about killing his next opponent, then that dream coming true... going 173/19 record...then lose your mind as your alzheimers kicks in... yea totally boring 🙄

you probably would rather a brokeback mountain sequel... 😆

that doesn't sound very exciting, no

neither does the OP really, with the exception of a bank heist, but I'd rather see the heist movie than the biopic

EDIT: but seriously, why make another boxing movie? You get anything you'd ever want in Pulp Fiction and Great White Hype

im assuming you have a better person whose life you think would make a great film.

also Sugar Ray Robinson isnt just some boxer. he's THE boxer. :mad

not really, I can think of events that might be interesting, but the quality of mainstream film is so low that I can't say I'd be overly eager for them to rush on anything.

if anything, I'd probably be most interested in weird director/subject combos. like, terrintino doing the life of Mohammed or something

oh shit, scrap all that. the answer is Oliver North
