Casting actors to play real life people

[Sawyer]

I think I already did Fleetwood Mac, but I really want Ryan Murphy to do a season of Feud based around the band during their Rumours era, so I'm giving it another shot...

FLEETWOOD MAC

Stevie Nicks - Brie Larson

Lindsey Buckingham - Jonathan Groff

Mick Fleetwood - Domhnall Gleeson

John McVie - Jamie Bell

Christine McVie - Rose Leslie

 

[gwynplaine]

Manson

Charles Manson - Emile Hirsch

Vincent Bugliosi - Michael Shannon

Bobby Beausoleil - Harry Stiles

Linda Kasabian - Brie Larson

Suan Atkins - Lauren Lapkus

 

[David H.]

I like it. I might have gone with Nina Arianda as Nicks since you're pitching this as a tv show but I'll never argue against Brie!

 

[David H.]

Martin Scorsese's Welles

Leo - Welles

Scarlett Johansson - Rita Hayworth

Michael Shannon - Joseph Cotten

 

[Eddie Dean]

and special guest star Jon Heder as Tom Petty

 

[Silvermoth]

Who could play Angela Merkel and Trudeau? I could see Marcia gay harden playing a cool Merkel and call me crazy but Ryan Reynolds could pull off Trudeau's charm

 

[Longuecarabine]

Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick - Joaquin Phoenix

Malcolm McDowell - Alfie Allen

Tom Cruise - Adam Scott

Kirk Douglas - Charlie Hunnam

Peter Sellers - Jonah Hill

Jack Nicholson - Timothy Olyphant

I'd pick Iwan Rheon as Malcolm McDowell myself.

 

[Silvermoth]

I could see John Hannah as Nigel Farage. But I wouldn't watch the movie

 

[Peyton Westlake]

Daniel Criag = Steve McQueen

If you know anything about his life, a biopic with Daniel could be lightning in a bottle.

 

[Peyton Westlake]

Also, I thought a biopic about a young Jack should go to this guy hands down. Or at least pair them as father & son in a movie sometime.

Walton Goggins

 

[Silvermoth]

I would love to see an Eartha Kitt biopic with Candice Patton as the lead and Ryan gosling as Paul Newman and Garret Clayton as James Dean

 

[David H.]

Thandie Newton as Eartha.

 

[Silvermoth]

Who do you think would play Corbyn? I would love to see Rupert Graves play him

Imelda Staunton

Oh wow that's really good casting

 

[Donnie Darko]

It's called Nocturnal Animals!

Damn, I haven't seen that. Saw one trailer and decided to avoid anything else about it until I saw it.

I used to think they were the same person.

 

[David H.]

Jessica Chastain should play Amy Adams and Bryce Dallas Howard should play Isla Fisher.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Nah, Bryce Dallas Howard for Christina Hendricks.

 

[David H.]

Christina can play Julianne Moore then!

Jane Levy plays Emma Stone playing Jane Levy.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Brilliant. And Emma Stone can play Lindsay Lohan.
