The only way this could POSSIBLY work is if they go the Walk Hard route. I mean besides him doing parodies of songs is there anything interesting about him that we really need to know?

Well there's some inspired casting. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I can kind of picture him playing the role.  |

I like Radcliffe but I don't think he's a very good actor. And I don't really see a resemblance.

I could see it happening the other way around.

I was thinking about this as a film idea the other week. I think Dan will be fine, it's not like it'll be 120 minutes entirely of silly comedic bits.

The choice does follow the essential casting requirement
In any "bio-pic":
A BRIT must play a YANK
and vice versa !

The Moon Knight trailer just come out and they’re already fussing about Oscar Isaac’s English accent. Thing is .... why the pointless crossover casting .... as if there are not actual Yanks to play Yanks and Brits to play Brits ?

You're British I'm assuming. As Southern as they come, but of Celtic/Anglo Saxon/Swiss derivation. Southern accents are generally messed up by both Brits and American actors…unless they’re actual Southerners themselves. Will Farrell does a good job in The Campaign, but Brian Cox’s accent sucks. Didn't the southern accent come from the British accent though?

Nothing to do with acting ability .. it's some goofy Hollywood casting quirk .
Brits hire Brits to play Brits BUT Hollywood very frequently hires Yanks to play Brits and Brits to play Yanks .. especially for the pseudo bio-pics.

I still say, as I wrote elsewhere, that I can only see this concept working if Ken Russell were directing. (Presumably he’d have to come back from the dead to do it.) |
