It will be made someday, you know it will. No matter how this ends. Just look at what is Sheen is doing on camera in his own house, and think what an artistic opportunity is there for a bright actor to play Sheen. To do everything Sheen is doing, only more so, because that’s what art does.
I nominate Emilio Estevez, because I feel cruel tonight.
Sheen’s is not the kind of story that would make a good movie… Shitty no-talent actor riding on father’s coattails spends his life living hard, nailing a ton of chicks(sometimes for pay), and making two Hot Shots movies. Then he has a manic episode and grabs everyone’s attention for about three weeks before they got tired and moved on (happening already).
He’d have to do something pretty amazing in the future from both a redemptive as well as a life’s work perspective. Otherwise, who gives a shit? There’s just no story there.
There are literally hundreds of celebrity biopics, and it is standard for those biopics to center around addiction or other fatal flaws that eventually cause the celebrity’s downfall, to be followed either by redemption or death, or both.
Dude, one of the most often-repeated data in this story is that Sheen is (or was until recently) the highest-paid actor on TV. Why is that? Obviously – whether he deserves it or not – he must have legions of fans. Fans who might fall out of love with him but, willy-nilly, will still be fascinated by his story for the rest of their lives.
