Anyone surprised a Marlon Brando biopic hasn’t been made yet?

The role is Oscar catnip.

No. No one under 50 cares about him.

Brendan Fraser as old fat Brando

He may have been the better actor, but I was the vastly more interesting as a person.

He gave good head.

R1 I always see young people thirsting after him in A Streetcar Named Desire.

R5 I’m also surprised a good biopic hasn’t been made about James Dean. True he didn’t have a long career but he lived a lot in just 24 years.

A tour de force performance by Chrissy Metz as Marlon Brando: Beyond Apocalypse Now!

With Zendaya as Cheyenne Brando and Adam Driver as Christian Brando.

Featured guest stars include Jack Huston as Jack Nicholson, Lizzy Caplan as Angelica Huston, and Rachel Brosnhan as Diane Keaton.

With special participatron of Chris Pine as Warren Beatty.

I smell an Oscar.

Either that or Metz just ate Brando's customary lunch of two whole chickens, half a cheesecake and a pint of ice cream to stay in character.

I don’t think his story is very interesting, unless you think premature ejaculation is interesting.

Cast Al Santos to play younger, A Streetcar Named Desire era Brando.

I don't imagine there's an actor out there who would want to risk the comparison, unless he's really got his head up his ass. It's only in the last decade that actors have had an easier time getting out of Brando's shadow when doing Streetcar.

Miles Teller, come get your Oscar gurl.

I wouldn't be surprised if cancelled has been James Franco planned on doing this.

by Anonymousreply 14March 2, 2023 11:30 PM

I hope not. He already played James Dean in a biopic, putting him on the map as an actor.

I think the Howard E. Rollins Jr. story would be a prize winner if anyone would ever bother to touch it. Not even E! During its most lurid days. That used to be such an informative channel.

Huh? A self indulgent actor who made a progressively bigger mess of his life as he ate himself to death? Yeah he was great when he was great, but his life is a trajectory of abuse of himself and almost everyone involved in his messy life. How do you spin that into a biopic?

R17 What you just described is Oscar bait.

by Anonymousreply 18March 3, 2023 12:31 AM

R11 how dare you.

There's only one Santos with the gravitas to pull off Brando.

by Anonymousreply 19March 3, 2023 3:42 AM

I pulled off Brando, it wasn't that hard
