.....with Scorcese as director, surely Tina Sinatra could never realistically have expected her Father's biopic to focus on the music and his 'softer side'?
Tina wants Clooney to play her Father, Scorcese wants DeCaprio and the studio wants Johnney Depp who'd probably do the better job, though my choice would be Harry Cronic Crooner.
Whatever the outcome, it's something to look forward to.
Best Regards,
Chris redmond.
Follow Ups:
Clooney and DiCaprio would BOTH be terrible choices.
I agree that Depp's great imagination as an actor could make for an intriguing performance ... and also that Connick, who has great empathy and experience with the performer's life, could also be a good choice.
Jaquin Phoenix did a bang up job on Johnny Cash (though somehow dodged and Oscar) ... perhaps a case study arguing in favor of Depp.
Interestingly, Connick, at one point in his career, was widely considered the heir apparent to the great Sinatra. I remember a televised special in which Sinatra deigned to sit in the audience, and, n effect, bless the coronation. Sinatra, on this occasion (and quite generously I thought) made it obvious that he admired Connick's ability as a vocalist. Whether or not Connick actually had the talent (and at times, he seemed to have), it was a promotion he ultimately rejected, deciding at that point to concentrate on his acting career.
Was he actually more interested in acting? Was he simply reluctant to cast himself in Sinatra's shadow? I wonder if he is even on the radar scope for the role.
That line is all that's needed to affirm how little Tina Sinatra knows about the movie business. Unless you're doing something off-the-edge ("I'm Not There") the leading man must have some resemblance to the character in question-i.e., slim, dark, delicately featured. Clooney, though a decent enough actor, is a big ol' WASPy galoot. Leo C would probably work well enough, or Johnny Depp I suppose, though I'd be doing screen tests even with name actors-it takes some real chops to 'become' a known entity the way that P.S. Hoffman became Capote. Keanu Reeves, for instance, is ideal physically, but...well, you get my drift.
"dammit"
Depp could do Sinatra well, and Connick Jr. too, but in other ways.
Tina Sinatra would probably think Dakota Fleming should be good to portray her.
