Pat Tillman, the movie: who plays him?

[Gabi Hayes]

Colin Farrell?

Will Ferrell?

Will Smith?

[Gabi Hayes]

1. time to get a mov(i)e on.....get it out before the

heat of the 08 election cycle

who could do justice to the subject in less than a year?

thoughts?

[Redbear]

2. Johnny Depp

Just saw his work in Blow

He's the guy

[lonestarnot]

Nah! Ruin Johnny Depp! Never!

[greenbriar]

3. josh hartnet...from pearl harbor

yes

[Bucky]

29. This is the best suggestion so far.

Better than my idea of Jason Alexander.

[Toucano]

4. If I were casting: Brandon Routh

or Chris Klein

[slampoet]

5. That's Easy!!!! HENRY ROLLINS!

They're near twins except Rollins is a little older.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

8. Actually that's perfect, smart and has the bod and CHIN too.

[slampoet]

11. And the acting experience and the military 'tude

[Cobalt-60]

10. Seconded. Henry Rollins it is

[babylonsister]

12. He's very similar, almost as handsome. nt

[Gabi Hayes]

19. great choice! and I think he'd be proud to play him, as well.

he REALLY REALLY hates the BFEE.

[bigwillq]

21. That's a great choice.

Rollins is so HOT!
They do have similar features.

Tillman was a attractive guy as well.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

39. Definitely!!!

:bounce:

[ComerPerro]

40. Rollins would be perfect for it. Check out these pictures

Tillman


Rollins



He is older, but still... damn...

[Gabi Hayes]

43. yep...hard to imagine getting much closer than Rollins

somebody call his agent!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

Dolph Lundgren's face and, oh, Edward Norton Jr.'s brain. Or Matt Damon's.

[lonestarnot]

6. What's that couch jumping dude's name? Him.

[Monkeyman]

Let one of the Bush's play him use real ammo

[hlthe2b]

7. Shouldn't we take his physique into account?

He was a linebacker, after all... Perhaps Colin Farrell could match that, but really, Johnny Depp? (and yes, I'm normally a Depp fan):shrug:

[GreenArrow]

9. The Rock. Or Vin Diesel.

Brad Pitt, maybe.

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. Dolph Lundgren ...I've always thought they looked alike.

Dolph Lundgren .... he may be a little old now to play Tillman though. Maybe with a LOT of makeup??

[Elwood P Dowd]

14. If it were 20 years ago, Patrick Swayze would be a good choice.

Now back to Mike Malloy and my cold beer.

:beer:

[BlooInBloo]

15. The only important fact is: he won't be playing himself.

[Gabi Hayes]

18. true enough, but it's OUR turn to use his symbology, and in a way

he'd approve, most likely

[BlooInBloo]

24. (shrug) I'll have no part in either using him, or speaking for him. You do what you want.

[Gabi Hayes]

25. shrug away. meanwhile

can you lend me thirty mil, quick, so I can get a screenplay going, and sign Rollins?

Giovanni Ribisi as the dastardly friendly firer...

[BlooInBloo]

26. lol! Sorry - it's all tied up in subprimes. Get back to me after the bailout.

[Gabi Hayes]

28. you a lender? you'll be find. just be glad you're not a borrower.

what does the bible say about that?

I had an arm, but paid it off last year, btw.

went up two points the first year, then again the second. fifty percent increase, just about. that's when I paid up.

[BlooInBloo]

31. Much worse for the lenders - or whoever's left holding the bag...

... which includes the borrower, of course. But these day's it's typically NOT the loan originator who owns the ARM by the time the borrower defaults. There's a huge finance field called Mortgage Backed Securities, with people (starting with loan originators) buying and selling loans in batches. This is the fundamental problem that led to what you're seeing in the news today: the loan originator doesn't have a vested interest in making good loans, since he's just gonna turn around and sell it anyway. It's just a really expensive musical chairs game, as it were.

[Gabi Hayes]

35. you mean, like when your mortgage is transferred from your original lender

to another, without your prior knowledge/assent?

don't these guys get bailed out, too?

if not, won't they, if it gets big enough, ala S and L scandal?

[BlooInBloo]

36. Sorta. They're traded on Wall St & in trading houses around the country...

... just like stocks and other securities (hence their name). Keep in mind - they're sold en masse - by the hundreds or thousands - by loan type, typically (30yr fixed, 5/1 hybrid arm, etc.). In general, there's no telling who'll have the rights to a given note one day to the next. The traders on my floor spend all day guaranteeing that. LOL!

[dairydog91]

16. There's going to be a movie?

Why? Why not Paul Smith, or any other soldier who actually performed a heroic action in combat?

[baldguy]

17. Whos the guy who played The Tick?

[Gabi Hayes]

20. haaaa...Patrick Warburton. Elaine's boyfriend

[kerry-is-my-prez]

30. He's a freakin' Republican...

n/t

[Canuckistanian]

22. As long as it isn't Leonardo DiCaprio

I can't, for the life of me, figure out why he was cast in the role of Howard Hughes.

Hughes was a "man's man", not a kid fresh out of acting school.

[Gabi Hayes]

23. amen....as bad a choice as Tom Cruise in that Vampire movie.

[Canuckistanian]

32. Or Keanu Reeves in that "other Vampire movie"

Dracula (1992). Voted "The Worst Accent Ever" by YouTube viewers.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO9mh-lzRNk

My wife and I hate him with a passion.

[lonestarnot]

33. Yeah the couch jump'n dude... that's him.

[Bucky]

27. Can we find a young Casper Van Diemm?

You know, I'm old enough to where the phrase "a young Casper Van Diemm" just doesn't sound right to me.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

34. ahnold.

with the Terminator II dude as General Nixon who lied, knew he lied, and ordered lies to continue. but there was no cover up. nope. Oh, so why burn his diary, folks?

[dysfunctional press]

37. joaquin phoenix, of course.

nt

[Horse with no Name]

38. Matt Damon.

Without a doubt.:loveya:

[Gabi Hayes]

41. whahh?? Damon looks more like Jon Cryer than Tillman in that pic. try this:

[Gabi Hayes]

42. or this

[Greyhound]

44. Christian Bale. Got the bod and the chops, n/t

[Ninja Jordan]

45. Easily the best choice I've heard.

His American accent is good too.

[Gabi Hayes]

46. that might work...never seen anybody who could morph his body so drastically in

such a short time

and he IS an excellent actor

I don't know about his frame, though. Rollins' is much more similar than Bale's. that's quibbling over silliness, I know, but, hey.

If I had a life, I'd be living it offline.

[DemBones DemBones]

47. Don't know, but I'm really glad that

Ahhhnold is too old for the role.

I saw him on a "Come to California" commercial last night and he looked so Frankensteinish that I couldn't believe they were using him. I felt like "NOOOOO! I don't want to go to California if that creature is there!!"

It's like his head has been shrunken; too many face lifts, I think. Plus the steroids.

[Gabi Hayes]

48. I saw him in a clip recently....something in his office. his face was SO tight....

how tight was it, Johnny?

[DemBones DemBones]

50. As tight as Joan Rivers' face. Scary tight. nt

[Gabi Hayes]

51. yes! or that lion lady in New York. I actually saw her on the street

the last time I was there.

It was surreal.....

[Nia Zuri]

49. viggo mortenson

[RB TexLa]

52. Randy Quaid

[Gabi Hayes]

53. Randy....

Johnson?

[maveric]

54. Liev Schreiber.

A little time in the gym and bodytone and he'll look a lot like Tillman.

[Gabi Hayes]

55. not a bad idea...what a voice he's got.

who's that pitcher in the pitcher?

[muriel_volestrangler]

56. Rob Riggle, with bleach

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1443527/



He even served in Afghanistan himself.
