Jbro22 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I remember it was announced that Jake Gylenhall was set to play Namath in an upcoming biopic about Namath. Whats the deal, it was announced a year or so ago. Is it happening? It would be awesome if it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgoguy Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 With any luck, they'll shelve any plans to make this movie, especially with Gyllenhaal in the role as Joe. These biopics, especially about sports figures, usually suck IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't nearly suave or charismatic enough to pull of Broadway Joe, if they make this movie I hope they can find someone else. There aren't that many "Men" to play these types of roles; no John Wayne or Steve McQueens, there are too many damn man-boys in hollywood now.

With the proper makup, there is but one in Hollywood that could pull off the role as Namath, Miss J. Alexander, of America's Next Top Model fame.

To answer your question: No, Miss J is a guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just feel bad that a she could like that much like a he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 It got cancelled as they are now going to make the Brett Ratliff movie instead since he is a sure fire Hall of Famer, they want to get a head start on it. Stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbro22 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 I honestly don't think Gylenhall would do a bad job. He's a pretty good actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay tuned. Well, that was correct until they scrapped that project. Entertainment Weekly announced earlier this afternoon that Brad Pitt would be playing the role of Mike Nugent in "The Nuge...from here to eternity." When asked if it would be a struggle to play someone 20 years his minor, Pitt stated "The story of the Nuge is universal...it crosses ethnictiy, religioun, sex and even age."

After Zodiac, Iron man and tropic thunder the man has completely reinvented himself, he's definitely got the guff to pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
