My Biopic (Work In Progress)

with 0 comments
I mentioned in my last post that I'd begun to think up a very loosely non-fiction based biopic if I won the lotto.

I would create an exaggerated biopic of my life. I wouldn't release it, just film it for me to watch (and probably my children). I would premiere it though, and fly everyone from my town out to LA to see it at Westwood Village (which i'll have booked)....not because I know or like everyone in my town, but because it would be awkward and thus highly entertaining. I'd also allow random pedestrians in for the screening.

I've already thought of some casting:

Richard Simmons - Dad: (my dad request Robert Dinero actually but...)
Halle Berry - Mom: (she request this casting, I think Halle would juxtapose Richard quite well)

don't you love how my parents indulge my nonsense by actually requesting actors? I think they've just learned to except my peculiarities...

Already, it's been decided, that I will be 1/2 of a siamese twin. My twin will have died during the separation after our birth. The separation will have left me with no left arm (eventually replaced with a titanium bionic arm)... This will actually be the dramatic opening scene...a close up of a cesarean section then the suspenseful separation, tears over the twin death and then my arm surgery. It will solidify me as the protagonist...a brave baby overcoming great adversity at an early age.

This is only the beginning...I haven't gotten very far, but i'm thinking it will be a fantastic family film filled with morals and cliche. I will update this as ideas pop into my head.
