I wonder who could play King (he's way too old now to pull off playing himself, though he could have a cameo as a doctor or something).
A triple Biopic on the Marvel trio, and don't be afraid to show the falling out between them. (Granted, there is a lot of he said/she said type stuff involving the creation of Marvel, so Stan, Jack, and Steve should probably be portrayed as equally responsible for its creation and equally antagonistic towards each other.)

Margrave of the Marshes
Why has no one made a movie about the making of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours? That's amazing material to make a movie out of.
Pink Floyd could be interesting. You have the tragedy of Syd Barret, Waters' ego going out of control, the legal battles, etc. Could even end it with the Live 8 reunion.
Hasnt there been plans for a while to make a REAL John Belushi biopic (as opposed to whatever Wired was supposed to be)?

There was Wired a 1989 film
about John Belushi that was panned.note
- Star-Derailing Role: Wired was his first major film, a biopic about legendary comedian John Belushi, which was... insane to say the least. Due to focusing mostly on Belushi's drug addiction and its bizarre plot which has Belushi's ghost being driven around by a guardian angel posing as a Puerto Rican cab driver while also having a subplot with Bob Woodward (who wrote the book the film was loosely based on) talking to people about the dangers of drugs, it was seen by many in Hollywood, especially by Belushi's loved ones, as a confusing, tone-deaf, exploitative, and completely tasteless film that endlessly preached that Drugs Are Bad, despite the execution being so utterly weird that one can't help but wonder if the filmmakers were on drugs themselves. The film was barely shown in theaters, utterly flopped at the box office, was critically panned, and faded away into obscurity after getting a brief run on VHS and no DVD release. The film almost killed his career in the crib, as most of Hollywood were outright refusing to touch those who worked on the film for a while.
A nice movie would be one about Norman Borlaug. The man fed the world when even first world nations were bracing for Soylent Green.
I want a Seanbaby biopic.
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.
Why have we gone all these years without a Jimi Hendrix biopic?

There already is one, actually

This was a bit jocular before - but how the hell is there not a Galois biopic?
Just to be clear, in the early nineteenth century, it was known how to solve a quadratic, a quintic, and a cubic. A high school student demonstrated that there could be no way to solve the general quintic, for the first time (although it would be discovered later; more on that in a moment), and the next day (okay, "next day" is a bit of a legend, but it hardly matters, because what happens next is verifiable) died in a duel in opposition to Louis-Phillipe (pistol duels, I think we've seen, are bankers) at twenty. The problem he set out to solve was solved a few years later, but a friend of his introduced his work, and it's become the foundation of quite a lot of modern mathematics.
And I should say that he died on May 31, 1832. While some aspects of his death may be embellished, that is certain. It's said - this is a bit of an embellishment - that a particular faction had meant to make their move at his funeral, but - and this is definitely true - the next day was the death of one Jean Maximilien Lamarque, and you definitely know what happened next.

My posts make considerably more sense read in the voice of John Ratzenberger.
Would that it were so simple.
It's hard to make a biopic about mathematicians without looking like a knock off of A Beautiful Mind.
"For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die."
I wonder who could play King (he's way too old now to pull off playing himself, though he could have a cameo as a doctor or something).
