Forgive my early speculation, but Who will play who in the Boston Bomber movie?
April 21 2012 | John Mason

First of all, I want to express my sorrow to the dead and injured from the bombs that went off at the marathon, and those otherwise injured in pursuit of the two chechnyn brothers. I have high praise for the police and medical units who acted and saved lives. As many creative people know, most creativity comes from observing what happens around us. Its; very common for big events in our culture to end up on a screen, be that the television, or in a theatre. Some will first be formed as books, then plays of collected vignettes. There were many filmed portrayals of 9/11, and years later of (what we have been asked to accept as) the night Osama Bin Laden was caught, killed and disposed of, all this done to OBL body with remarkable rapidity, before the next crack of dawn! We just made a big dollar hit movie out of Lincoln.

So who is going to write, produce, star in this film about the Boston Marathon Bombings? There is so much material, it almost demands production. For many citizens of Boston, it will be known as Hell Week. They share the public memory of that first day, the shock of the bombing and it's gruesome destruction, They will recall the days of Boston on Lockdown as slow and eerily quiet, The memories will conclude with the blizzard of gunfire, carjacking, car used as a battering ram, followed by more quiet, ending in a hiding place, the boat that almost became his coffin. The will recall the media guessing games, trying to be first, trying to be 'fair'. If Mel Gibson is momentarily clear of mind and able to work with people, he could do a good portrayal.

It extremely bad taste, but I kinda wanna cast this movie too:

Neil Patrick Harris (with a perm - FABULOUS!!!) and Perez Hilton as dead Muslim and captured Muslim. Throw in a “crazed fags on crystal meth” angle here.

Dustin Hoffmann in Rain Main mode as the “estranged” uncle.

Roseanne Barr in semi-black face as Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

Magic Johnson’s fat, queer kid as the boat.

Have ‘fieldmarshaldj’ be the one to catch Dzhokar.

“Emmy Rossum will play Tamerlan’s wife.”

I’m thinking Rebel Wilson...so sweet and beautiful...

“Just for that toss one more pig on his grave.”

I’d cast Dick Cheney as the pig farmer.

Never heard of her.

Too big, she can play the boat while Magic Jr. plays the wife.

Actually forget, that she’s too big to play the boat, it’s not a yacht.

Harold and Kumar for the bombers (hey they need the work)

Justin Bieber as Obama (same pastiness, physically and athletically he’s a good match)

Bieber doesn’t strike many as the sharpest knife in the drawer, but given the subject I think he can dumb it down to play Obama.

now, who to play that cute reporterette on CNN?

“Who should play you trapped in your house?”

Well, Ronald Reagan and John Wayne aren’t available, so I’d go with Nick Kroll in full Ruxin mode.

The sex scene would be: We’re drinking red wine out of empty beers cans waiting to be “rescued”...irma-time begins.

I came across the name when they were pumping her name out there as the host of the MTV movie awards...WHAT A BABE!!!

I’d turn queer before I’d consider it/her.

Magic, Jr...nice pocketbook. WOW!!!

Keri Russell as your GF? ;D

It seems that Magic Johnson is the Jr., his “son” is Earvin the third, guess there will not be a 4th one. His sperm are too gay to fertilize an egg even through in-vitro, they would say “eww”, migrate the to anus and throw a themed cocktail party.

I’ll be the outraged guy in the gun shop shouting “WTF!?!?!?! DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO WAIT THREE MONTHS FOR A “PERMIT” TO EXERCISE MY RIGHT?”

Or maybe I’ll be the starry-eyed and disillusioned lib who stands on the corner, interviewed by the breathless bimbette reporter, who says “Gee...those two guys didn’t even HAVE a gun permit, did they...? But...but Barack said we’d be SAFER...”

“Keri Russell as your GF? ;D”

The role is open. Invites to the casting couch are extended, in no order, to:

Keri Russell
Carice Van Houten
Alice Taglioni
and if the flick goes porno, Maria Osawa.

“Gay ole time” Johnson the XXXLVII will adopt...bet the farm on that.

Betty White as Obama LOL!!! Actually, staying with that name, I can see Bette Midler or Queen Latifa as the Angry Aunt who says the USA and Russia are ‘rejoicing’ over Tams death.
