A movie about the life of Jim Jones
 

I think something similar was done in 1980 but I was just thinking yesterday it would be an amazing plot. From childhood to the moment he died. Couldn't think of a good actor to portray him though. I was thinking maybe Christian Bale because of his work in American Psycho, he could be very sinister. Definitely Morgan Freeman as one of the black pastors he looked up to in his childhood though, or Denzel Washington. You would also have to have a good child actor to portray him as a child. Not sure on that either.

Anyone got ideas for some actors?

It probably is something that should be tackled, but Hollywood doesn't see the money in it.

Jimmy Jones was my mother's pot dealer in the 90s.

Been done a few times. Sucked.

Kinda why I made this thread

You failed to answer one simple question: who the fuck is Jim Jones?

I've always wanted to launch a product called Jim Jones' Jungle Juice Mix - you could have a silhouette with the glasses and maybe throw a "xXx" in there. Million dollar idea!

Javier Bardem
