It isn’t meant to be satirical, but y’all know there’s got to be a movie, right?
Apologies if this is a repeat thread.
Quasi
Kevin Spacey.
I probably should already know this…but who?
The ex-KGB polonium poisining victim. Err… the first one.
Ahh, I knew the name was familiar. Being in this forum though my brain was running though book characters and the like to place it.
I cast my vote for Edward Norton. See the resemblance?
Can Tom Hanks starve himself back to his Philadelphia weight?
Looked a little like Liam Neeson to me. Or Kenneth Mars, c. 1970.
Terry O’Quinn. They’ll have to stick a wig on him for the pre-poisoning scenes, though.
Johnny Depp, Jim Broadbent or possibly Jim Carrey. I don’t think any of them are anything like the ideal actor for the role, I just think there’s a reasonable chance they’ll be cast in it.
Wyle E. Coyote?
Why did I read that and think of the guy from the Hellfire Club ?
Easy casting:
I was reading an article about the investigation in Time magazine last night, and I realized that this thread is on the wrong track.
Much like the film JFK, the lead character in this story will not be the title character. The protagonist in this instance is the lead detective of the Scotland Yard investigation.
That’s the more interesting story. Solving the mystery.
BUT, if forced to cast Litvinenko, I’d go with Elendil and cast Liam Neeson.
Because you’re a NERD!!??
Apparently, not to many people have seen this picture of him. I’ve seen it a thousand times over the last two weeks. Every time I see it, I think of Darth Vader at the end of Jedi.
He does look a little like Paul Bettany, though.
Carrey would be a very interesting choice. Especially if he does it in his trademark over-the-top.
