to make a film about any person of the 20th century.

Who would it be?

For me, it's either Clement Attlee or Michael Jackson.

My first intuition on this was Wavy Gravy



But it turns out there is already a movie about him.

So then I guess I would go for Timothy Leary



Who probably would have a more interesting, as well as colourful story.

Howard Hughes.

Oh wait...


I can't live the buttoned-down life like you. I want it all. The dizzying highs, the terrifying lows, the creamy middles. Sure, I may offend some of the blue bloods with my cocky stride and musky odors. Oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called "city fathers," who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards and talk about what's to be done with this Homer Simpson?

I would want to make a film about Robert Johnson. Not "Crossroads" from 1986, but a film about the actual man.

Albert Einstein -

The first rock star scientist, genuinely conflicted about his work as evidenced in the 1939 letter to Roosevelt - I'd love to write a story from his point of view rather than from the outside in...

Quoted from Grandma Bear
Sigmund Freud

Gilles de Rais for me, most likely. Hard to choose just one person. Lots of stories worth telling out there.
