Now that the dust has settled. Who will play David Bowie in his inevitable biopic? When will it be released?
Tilda Swinton
>>61669221
yes
Idris Elba
>>61669221
Thread over.
>>61669185
impossibru
The only community to draw from are models, and there's no way they will want to spend the time to do something like this.
Also they won't want to get into the old makeup.
Two actors, father and son? Both gorgeous? Anyone come to mind?
>>61669185
Eddie Redmayne
Fassbender
>The only community to draw from are models
What did he mean by this?
>>61669284
That's a great idea anon
Ewan McGregor.
I can really see it.
>>61669284
That might work
Watkin Tudor Jones
Tilda Swinton as Old Bowie
Eddie Redmayne as young Bowie
Ricky Gervais clearly
>>61669284
this is most likely
>>61669489
Or maybe just Tilda with greenscreen for Young Bowie.
>>61669441
YES
Or Lady Gaga
>>61669284
Fuck please this
Billy Idol
Dane Dehaan
>>61669505
That would work, what with Ricky's extensive musical background.
Benedict Cumberbatch obviosuly
>>61669292
No one else pretty enough.
>>61669185
>>61669586
fuck me yes
He can't pull off young Bowie I don't think, or not for long. Botox I suppose. But he'd better do it very soon.
Bowie left him the rights in his will. Already in pre-production.
this
he was great in The Place Beyond the Pine and is the actor not named Tilda Swinton who looks like Bowie the most
>>61669694
meant to quote >>61669569
>>61669569
Holy shit he actually looks like bowie alot.
>>61669221
>>61669284
>>61669489
Are you guys memeing or something? Those are all awful actors.
john boyega
Benefit Cuntbermuch
>>61669760
i like Swinton, but yeah, Redmayne is literally a walking meme
>>61669811
What does this even mean? He's very talented.
>>61669586
Well, he might as well play yet another guy I've had a crush on.
>implying that hack deserves a movie
>>61669833
>oscar bait: the actor
He's pretty mediocre.
>>61669742
he's perfect
Daniel Day-Lewis
>>61669863
I agree his roles are baity but that doesn't invalidate his performances.
>>61669221
Das it mane
>>61669284
he'd be too much of a fucking twink and totally forget that bowie was a real fucking man too
.>>61669586
Wouldn't be bowie, it'd be an actor playing bowie.
>>61669221
Yup
>>61669890
It does in a way. If you're acting to win awards your performance and genuineness as an actor is compromised.
>>61669944
>Wouldn't be bowie, it'd be an actor playing bowie.
what a fatuous thing to say
>>61669971
are*
>>61669971
No because you can do both, they're not mutually exclusive.
>>61669944
Yeah that's the bit I'm not sure about but he'd be fucking perfect for the Ziggy era. Can just imagine him working so well.
>>61670028
>No because you can do both, they're not mutually exclusive.
Eddy Redmayne doesn't.
>>61669654
this better be a joke.
adam sandler
Some unknown actor, a celebrity couldn't play Bowie.
>>61669760
Tilda Swinton a bad actor are you fucking kidding me.
>>61669185
Would you need a different actor for his young self and older self?
Shame that Dylan already had the multi-cast biopic, Bowie's suited perfectly for that sort of thing.
>>61669858
>weaboo autist thinking his opinion matters
>>61669221
>Tilda Swinton
Fuck, I bet Bowie would love a chick playing him too...
>>61669221
>"WHY DOES BOWIE HAVE TO BE PLAYED BY A MAN??"
>>61669185
Pull a I'm Not There and have multiple actors play Bowie during the different periods of his life.
>>61669287
better than Cumberbatch
Adam Buxton

>>61670358
this desu
>>61669185
I seriously suggest Alfie Allen.
Is Bowie's life even that interesting to make a movie out of?
http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/get_out/article_b5547f69-6b3f-583c-8a1e-148a6f12e791.html
>>61670497
yeah you could make all kinds of stuff
but itd probably be more him concerned with his "next move" because he never really had any close calls from cocaine
itd be a music music film, not some druggy im going crazy film
>>61670358
Only way to go.
Glenn Howerton.
mark my words
What does /mu/ think about pic related?
It was a pretty god pseudo biopic in my opinion.
>>61670576
Came here to post this
>>61669185
Brian blessed
>>61670613
The film is alright, good ensemble cast and performances. Brian Molko has a short cameo, he's shit at acting.
>>61670770
Agreed.
I loved the how associative editing style of the movie. It was more about how inspirations and ideas were stolen, adapted and put together and this way it explained the "glam rock" era better than most documentries.
>>61669221
>>61669760
>>61670852
Documentaries don't tend to focus so much on sexual ambiguity and coming to grips with those feelings.
Gary Oldman plays old bowie
Eddie Redmayne plays young bowie
maybe.
>>61671096
Please, we all know who was born to play Bowie.
>>61670496
he would play Jagger
>>61670613
Haven't seen it. But the premise seems awful. Let's make a film that is about Bowie. But it is.
>>61670764
>Blessed
With his beard intact. That would be the ultimate trolling.
>>61671292
>tfw Tilda Swinton isn't your bf
>>61669284
Jesus christ no
bowie was the epitome of cool
redmayne is an oscarbaiting literal faggot
they don't even look alike
>>61671317
Actually I think he resembles way more handsome Bowie than weird Jagger. But well, I like Alfie: he's a talented young actor and think he's hot and handsome even if weird loking at times, so whatever.
