Blaze into a movie?

[cjlong4372]

Only problem we are going to have with them making this a movie is the fact that its pretty much "of mice and men" but instead of lenny and george its blaze and george. They could but would have to give it a little twist and not quit the of mice theme.

eh, not sure if I'd be enthusiastic about The Rock starring in a movie I'd have high hopes for.

Blaze could be played by Billy Bob Thornton or George could be Billy Bob Thornton lol

pruitt is one of my favorite actors (loved him in 'constantine' and others) ... and they could easily do a 'lord of the rings' perspective thingy or even cgi to make up for his lack of height a compared tot he character in the book

the actor i thought of tho while reading the book?

Randy Quaid

Mickey Rourke would be perfect for Blaze. I didn't used to care for Rourke until he messed up his face and made his comeback. Now he's a remarkable character actor, and his beat-up appearance would be spot on. Not sure how tall he is, but height is probably the easiest thing to manipulate on screen.

Yeah, Mickey Rourke, all the way...As for George, might I suggest Edward G Robinson? (oops...Mistah Robinson, he dead)

Mickey Rourke might be alright - not sure about The Rock though. And for some reason I thought Danny Devito for George - maybe that's because that's how I saw him when I read it.

Whoo...Mickey Rourke and Danny Devito...That sounds like a winner! Or maybe Rourke and Steve Buscemi--ooo...that's the ticket.

[Boni]

Steve Buscemi is George = fact.
Blaze is difficult, though, I don't know any actor who could be white, big, and capable of passing innocence in a bandit. Maybe Tom Hanks, who knows...

[king family fan]

I do believe Blaze would make a great movie. I always like to read the books first before the watching the movies.

Mickey Rourke, man. That's Blaze all over the place. Check out Sin City and The Wrestler.
