TUCSON, Arizona (AP) -- The best-selling memoir for Sen. John McCain could be hitting the big screen.

Producers Robert Michael Geisler and John Roberdeau (1998's "The Thin Red Line" producers) purchased film rights to the book "Faith of My Fathers" earlier this year for an undisclosed sum and are planning a feature film, the Arizona Daily Star reported Sunday.

Hmm, I wonder what the targeted release date would be?

And who would play McManiac?

Billy Bob Thornton as McCain

Kate Pierson from the Rock group B-52's as Cindy McCain

[camle]

robin williams as Mccain?

[texson66]

Alec Baldwin as McCain; Jane "Hanoi" Fonda as Mrs McCain ( It's not what any would want, but Hollyweird would pick something very close to this pair)

[dighton]

Resurrect Bogart.

I was thinking that with a similar personality, demeanor, maturity level and possibly similar flight skills, Mike Tyson should be cast as Mclaim.

Tyson would have to lose about 5 inches in height for the part, though, and stay out of jail.

Wow, I can’t wait until that comes out, the truth about McCain that is. A friend of mine knew someone that was with our distinguished Senator when they were in the Hanoi Hilton. He didn’t have one good word to say about McCain. Have you ever noticed not one of his fellow POW brothers have stood by his side? You would think with all of the ‘good news’ about this ‘brave American’ becoming a possible Presidential hopeful they would be on every Morning news show once a week. NOPE, you don’t hear a word from them. Makes you think doesn’t it.

How about getting Pixar to animate a full colostomy bag to play mccain?

[DouglasKC]

Robert Duvall would me a good McCain. I think he could just reprise his role in "The Great Santini" and phone it in...

[Austin Willard Wright]

Too bad Sterling "Col. Jack Ripper" Hayden is still not alive.

[maximus@Nashville]

Hmmmm...an actor to play McCain...a person who cannot make up his mind which end of the spectrum is right for themselves....Anne Heche?

[dalebert]

You beat me to it. Baldwin is the best pick for McCain

[LurkedLongEnough]

Popeye the Sailor Man as John and Olive Oil as Cindy. Human actors would not satisfy the requirements.

[Austin Willard Wright]

Well, both Baldwin and McCain do have something in common: they are both raving lunatics.

[McGruff]

If only he was still around!

[Dante3]

Surely Hollywood would want to be politically correct, thus maybe cast George Foreman of the grill fame as McCain.

[Enterprise]

Pee Wee Herman as McCain.

[BADJOE]

Get the guy who played in "The Manchurian Candidate".

[Corin Stormhands]

Jason Alexander as McCain...

[EODGUY]

Great one! They even look a little alike.
