View Full Version : A Bill Hicks Flick
So there's text zipping around on the internets about Russell Crow playing Bill Hicks in a movie about Bill Hicks' life. A simple Google search will bring up a-plenty-o-buzz. I saw some stuff about Ron Howard directing it.
Feel free to post any articles you come across and share the scoop.
RIP Bill.

i think that's a good idea, yeah. i think bill would probably disapprove of most celebrities portraying him in a movie, but i especially don't like the idea of russel crowe doing it.
there's a guy i know who looks a lot like bill hicks (in the beard phase) i should see if he's interested

There are no ways to describe how much I love Bill Hicks.
If there was a Church of Bill Hicks I'd be a fucking archbishop.
Its just a ride.

Its like if you were going to make a film about him you must know that he hated all the corporate marketing bullshit and if you make a film about him with a big star and have all the money making, advertising and promoting shaenaigans that goes with a big film then Hicks would fuckin hate all that. He prolly wouldnt be too chuffed about all the money that was being spent making a film about him.

pretty much exactly what i thought when i just read this-bill hicks has hero status as far as i'm concerned and i can't stand that total cock of a man, so bollocks to their film-it'll probably be 'filled-out' with the usual shit anyway.

Definitely a good point. You'd think Hicks would feel that way about it. I'm interested to see how the studios roll this movie out.

Although i am huge fan of his, i dont think i could go and watch a film about him if i didnt feel things were being done right. I know most of his stuff, read a few books etc and i dont think i would be missing out on some dodgy corporate version of his life
