I'd say that sounds about right.

And who will play Sandusky?

Frank Costanza?

Joe Pesci.

Pastafarian કહ્યું...

Depends: if it's going to show him as a human being with both flaws and goodness in him, Pacino would be good.

I anticipate more of a character assassination type movie, and Joe Pesci might make a better one-dimensional monster.

Pastafarian કહ્યું...

Maguro, you son of a bitch, you beat me to it.

yashu કહ્યું...

How about Sandusky? That's more difficult.

Nick Nolte? William Hurt? John Travolta?

Steven Root?

Palladian કહ્યું...

Jeffrey Jones?

bagoh20 કહ્યું...

Too late, but Jim Backus in the voice of Mr. Magoo.

yashu કહ્યું...

Jeffrey Jones?

Good one.

If he had a different (more imposing) physique, Fargo's William Macey (for the innocent-looking all-American weaselliness).

yashu કહ્યું...

Tim Robbins?

Dustin Hoffman

Who really cares? The pederast -enabling piece of shit is dead, and the devil has demons raping his ass right now.

The worst thing that the entire football culture did was nothing! They did nothing...the assistant coach who caught Sandusky raping a child in the shower, he didn't even stop THAT! He just told the head devil himself, Paterno.

They should have blown up that stadium and banned Penn State from ever playing ANYTHING!

And if Crack calls me a lunatic for believing that, then I'm glad I am, for if I didn't believe it, I'd be tempted to do just as I suggested.

I have a question...when are Sandusky's enablers going to jail, and for how long? You know, the college president, the AD, the assistant coach who just walked away.

Ps,

There is an investigation on going that Sandusky was running a ring of pedophiles. Who wants to bet nothing comes of that either?

Lance કહ્યું...

Pacino has already played a football coach. His overacting mangled it, imo.

Paterno needs a humbler approach. I'm thinking someone like Paul Giamatti.

Lem Vibe Bandit કહ્યું...

The question was what famous move.. actor.

So, I answered accordingly.

And who will play Sandusky?

Tom Hanks?

Lem Vibe Bandit કહ્યું...

or Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Hoffman is a better actor than Tom Hanks.

cubanbob કહ્યું...

Why the hell would anyone make such a movie? And who would want to play the part?

BarryD કહ્યું...

"Hoffman is a better actor than Tom Hanks."

Does that make Hoffman a member of a short list?

yashu કહ્યું...

Lem, good picks. Phillip Seymour Hoffman, yes. In his more dominant/ cocky as opposed to shlubby mode (yet he can also play pathetic-- meaning in part "contemptible"-- better than almost anyone).

He was in Doubt (related topic), which I haven't seen.

Gene કહ્યું...

Robert DiNero or Steve Buscemi

Mid-Life Lawyer કહ્યું...

Jeff Goldblum. It will be the start of a major comeback, like John Travolta in Pulp Fiction.

wyo sis કહ્યું...

Jason Biggs
He has the slimy part down perfectly

edutcher કહ્યું...

For Sandusky, you need someone a bit more husky, hulking - and avuncular.

But, frankly, they ought to let the world spin a couple of times before exploiting this one.

KCFleming કહ્યું...

They can call it Brokeback Mountebank.

MadisonMan કહ્યું...

Meryl Streep. She's played everyone else.

jungatheart કહ્યું...

Too big a presence, like Pacino or Dustin Hoffman is distracting, especially if they look like the person. I spent all of Walk The Line noticing Joaquim Phoenix playing Johnny Cash. I think one of those actors who disappear into their roles, like Kevin Spacey or John Cusack would be better.

kentuckyliz કહ્યું...

William Hurt or...name escapes me...Jeff somebody who was in Dumb and Dumber...not Jim Carrey but the other one, the blind one. Or Liam Neeson. Or there's another actor I can picture who looks a lot like Sandusky...but I can't think of his name either. Ah, the middle aged brain.

A. Shmendrik કહ્યું...

Frank Langella is Jerry Sandusky!

May I repeat all y'all...WHY?

Anyone who has had a smidgen of experience with the athletic programs in Div 1A knows ole Joe not only knew and did nothing, but likely was involved personally. There are no things such as this kind of locker-room secret in Div 1A or the Big Ten program. Other teams also had to know as well. There is NO way everyone kept quiet for so long otherwise. Period.

sdharms કહ્યું...

There should be no Joe Paterno movie unless it is centered on highly placed people protecting something that is unimportant by sacrificing the lives of little children.

MayBee કહ્યું...

Jeffrey Jones as Sandusky is genius, Palladian.

Perhaps Roman Polanski will direct.

Beldar કહ્યું...

@ Lance: You're right that Pacino overacted in Any Given Sunday. And yet: His performance was far from being the most incredible and unbelievable one in that particular movie, which featured Cameron Diaz as the pro football team's owner.

paul a'barge કહ્યું...

Pacino has already done the part.

Bartender Cabbie કહ્યું...

Dick Rambone

Strelnikov કહ્યું...

Joe Pesci. They already look alike.

veni vidi vici કહ્યું...

Joe Pesci. That's a no-brainer.

Kelly કહ્યું...

Michael Douglass. I'm thinking of how he looked when he filmed Falling Down, with the buzzed hair cut and the glasses.
