Starring...?

Patrick Fugit as an aide in a nursing home

The one story I've come up with where I really saw a particular actor in the role was one about a black basketball coach taking over what had up to then been an all-white high school basketball team (this was set in the 1960s). I kept seeing James Earl Jones as the coach, who at first doesn't seem very imposing to the kids, with his frumpy clothes, bulging waistline, and homespun tales, but they soon discover that there's a lot more to the old coach, and about life, than they thought.

In the adaptation of my autobiography, I'll be played by.... Natalie Portman.

But not just for that scene where the next door neighbour (played by Keira Knightly) and I... well, you see the point.

Justin Beiber. Because I'm all about making money. Wait, my MC is a girl...

I'm not sure it would matter . . .

Patrick Stewart as the voice of Griff



John Goodman as the voice of Bear, and in Hollywood tradition, some kid from an open casting call as the voice of Dennis Pearson.



Tim Allen as the voice of Dorian di Drago

Its a memoir, so, John Holmes

Oh wait, he's dead...Forget it

Definitely Angela Bassett for the role of my MC as an adult.

... would opt for the neorealism approach that was taken in the 1940s by directors like Vittorio De Sica. Instead of actors, I'd prefer ordinary, everyday people to play the roles who had no experience in front of the camera. That would work good I think. ps Excelent question BTW.

Ryan Gosling...somewhere, anywhere, I don't care

My book is about a female rock star with a drug addiction, and a music journalist who falls in love with her.

I like Emily Blunt (from Sunshine Cleaning and The Young Victoria) for Scarlett, the female rocker. She does all the fierce, angsty roles pretty well, and that suits this character.

For the journalist, maybe Gerard Butler?

Unknown actress for my MC, and her lover.

If I could swing it, I'd have a famous metal singer play The Devil - he'd have the right look, hopefully, amplified by make-up. And I can guarantee a metal singer would be able to distort their voice into a suitably evil tone without looking like they're about to choke. Perfect.

...

Actually, hell, I'd just have all my cast be taken from the world of metal music. From watching metal bands I'd never heard of on youtube, I know that a lot of the women in metal are gorgeous, which suits my lesbian couple, and many people have killer voices.

Added bonus is that the soundtrack would write itself.
