Jay's Life Story, in celluloid form
So, I just got back from "Invincible" (A Story about a normal guy trying out for "American Football" and his life success) starring actor Mark Wahlberg (you might know him from "Boogie Nights). Anyways, after a hour searching through forums and not finding any category for this, I had an idea that many of you might have had-- A movie about Jay's life from his homeless state-to stardom-through his cocaine addiction and beyond. I know they did this for the famous yet little-known trumpeter Arturo Sandoval, so why not Jay? I also think that the actor above, Mr. Wahlberg, would play a pretty convincing looking Jay, no? Here is a link to look at his pic- http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0445990/Ss/0445990/Mark5_jpg.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Wahlberg,%20Mark%20(I). What do you guys think?
Mods- If this is in another topic, I apologize in advance. Just let me know which on it is since I can't find it! |

oh my word!!
that guy is a dead ringer for Jay!
lol.
but keanu reeves would also play him well too i think.
this is a brilliant idea!
lets hope some big film exects (sp?) come read this!!
if not... maybe we should all become directors and producers and costume designers ect and get this show on the road!!
you've got me all excited now

Surely someone ENGLISH could do it? Don't want to sound arsey but Gwyneth bloody Paltrow has forever put me off hearing American actors / actresses trying to sound English. They just can't do it. And it's not as if we don't have any actors of our own!
I'm not nearly as angry as I sound, though, honestly! It's a really good idea, though in fairness I'm not sure how many people would go to see it even in the UK, never mind abroad. Still, I'd be one of them!

No no no, don't feel bad, I didn't mean it like THAT. Just that I'm sure there must be SOMEONE English who looks like Jay who could do it instead.
Of course failing that, ITV could always make 'Jay Kay' into a three-part serialisation with Ray Winstone in the title role.
And apologies to everyone who doesn't live in the UK because that joke will have completely gone over all your heads!
