I'd love to see Debra Messing in a biopic about Lucille Ball....I'm thinking maybe Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Alfred Hitchock? I think Phil Hartman's life would make a really great movie, though I'm drawing a blank on casting. There was a film made circa 1976 called WC FIELDS AND ME which focused on WC Fields and his relationship with mistress Carla Menotti. Rod Steiger played Fields and Valerie Perrine played Carlotta. A movie about Ray Combs might be interesting, but if it were done, it would be done for TV, not a theatrical film. I don't see a film being done about Gene Wilder while he's alive. I love the idea of a film about Joe Namath, who would you cast in that one? As much as I loved Charles Nelson Reilly, I can't see his appeal being strong enough to merit a biopic...if they did, like Combs, it would be for TV only.
