When the hire Christian Bale to play Bob Marley I hope you have that same attitude.

They should get Robert Downey Jr as Kirk Lazarus to play Sinatra...

 

[airthompson]

Oh yeah, they look really alike!

No offense to any blacks but It would be a travesty if they get a black dude to play frank.

Would be unwise decision for everyone involved especially Jaime. That would be a shame too because he has some very good performances that would beovershadowed by this blunder of casting.

Jamie foxx is going to play everyone that made it big in the old days.. then when it's all said and down a jamie foxx movie is going to come out where foxxis played by kevin hart

Its different for a regular generic role, but this is a BIOPIC. A movie about a REAL person and someone important in entertainment HISTORY.

Might as well have Megan Fox play the role, just so everyone wouldn't mind watching the abomination of a horrible cast move.

Are you suggesting they did what they did with Bob Dylan?

no, because in the bob dylan biopic, they are purposely casting unconventional characters to portray all the different "bobs."

in this case, they want jamie to BE frank.

Thats it, if they do this, i'm making "The Real Malcolm X" starring Seth Rogen.

Scorsese would not cast Foxx for Sinatra.

 

[arrjae]

[c0nev3rge]

[streetsmarts]

yall owe us one

 

[streetsmarts]

yall owe us one

 

[imperialh8]

So Jamie Foxx is type casted to only do biopics.

If he plays Sinatra (which I doubt) I hope he does a damn good job.....F*** that I hope this doesn't happen. It'll be worse than his stand up routines.
