Casting The Andrew Breitbart Movie
March 2, 2012 in death
Andrew Breitbart is dead and his life and opinions would make a decent movie.
Who would play him? Direct him? Star alongside him?
My choice, after the break.
Oh, it would be great if it was directed by Oliver Stone. He’s a big hack and directs at the top of his voice, and it would be great to see his take on it rather than some bland Clooneyesque whisper-thon.
Anyway
Jonathan Banks is my choice.
He looks a bit like Breitbart, and he’s an excellent actor I’ve loved for years.
Do it!
Obviously I’ve won the casting, and maybe the directing, but if you’d like to challenge me like a man and not some doorcloth ash-felcher, then stick your disgusting choices below – there, in the dank hell that are the comments. Good day to you, Sir!

I guess Chuck Barris is dead so I will go with Owen Wilson with Ellen Barkim as Ariana directed by Charlie Kaufmann. And I am serious.

I’ll go with Owen Wilson because I actually think that he’s a better actor than his roles—excluding the Wes Anderson movies—and I don’t want to take Jonathan Banks away from his role as Mike, the gruff but lovable hit man, in Breaking Bad.

The font choices on this post depress me.

My vote is for Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Philip Seymour Hoffman. BOOM!!! Come on, they resemble each other and PSH is brilliant and so good at playing uber creepy types.
Inspired choice, good job, me. Also Virus makes me LOL.

Not into your Oliver Stone choice. At all. Let me think about this one some more. Get off my back!!!!!

I just came by to see what my prize is.

I think using men to play a male role is misogynistic and uncreative. Maggie G. FTW!

If no one responds to how awesome my PSH bid is, you can all kiss my ass.
Chillbear Latrigue said on March 3, 2012
PSH? That Howser kid from Starship Troopers? Unlikely.

I can dig PSH in that role, definitely. M. Night Shyamalan as director? He never fails, or anything. And ssh, Chilly, we all know you’re just trying to win our votes to the Republicans in November by pretending to be all touchy-feely with the vaginas. Well, except for actually being touchy-feely with them – that’s just who you are.

I vote for Gary Busey to play Breitbart – the man does angry crazy VERY well.
