Roger Ebert Biopic in the Works

by | Friday, Sep. 07 2012

Summary

Martin Scorsese is set to executive produce an adaptation of Ebert's memoir, "Life Itself." Back to Article

Comments

A biopic about a movie critic? Interesting. I'm curious as to how that's going to affect it's tomatometer rating.

Anyway, if any critic deserves a biopic it's Roger Ebert. I may have disagreed with him many times, yet I've always enjoyed reading his reviews even when I'm not on the same boat as he was.

The first name that popped into my head as a possible actor to play Ebert was Will Sasso. I don't know why he was, but I don't think he'd be the best. So I then thought about it a bit more and I think that, unless they get an unknown, Rob Corddry would be a good choice.

It's gonna be a documentary, guys. Am I the only one who bothers to read the articles?

Sep 7 - 04:42 PM

Read the headline...

Sep 8 - 10:32 AM

Read the article... "The esteemed film critic took to his Twitter account this morning to announce some exciting news related to Life Itself. "Whoa! My memoir has been optioned for a doc by Steve James (Hoop Dreams) and Steven Zaillian, with Martin Scorsese as exec producer," he detailed to his followers. Ebert, of course, has appeared in a number of documentaries ? Gerald Peary's 2009 film For the Love of Movies: The Story of American Film Criticism being one of them ? but the deeply personal tone of this project and the talent behind it makes it an exciting prospect."

Sep 8 - 03:56 PM
