I was amazed that Moore would take on such a drama.

I can hardly wait to discover how the Republicans and Big Business set up poor Fatty. Moore will probably have to lose a few pounds though if he wants to play fatty.

This can't be true. When was this announced (if it even was)? It just seem like the kind of project Moore would associate himself with.

I think it's a joke.
Crispin Glover as the Joker. Period.

I don't think that would ever work out. And if it does, I'll be mad cause I hate Moore. I mean, he exploits people in those documentaries and he gets all this doughhe seems like a flaming hyprocite to me.
Chris Farley would have been SO great in the role. It sucks that he died

Actually I heard there was a curse on this role. Chris Farley, John Candy, AND John Bulushi, ( I apologize if thats spelled wrong) all read for this role, and they all died before it got of the ground. It was on one of those adictive E shows. cool stuff. I hope they get around to making one I love that time period in Hollywood, I think they should do one on Mabel Normand who was the big star at Keystone along with Chaplin.

I remember of a boss of mine who was friends with John Candy telling me that he'd wanted to star in the Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle story, and remarking that he would have been great because he did comedy and pathos so well.
