Russell Crowe’s accent already resembles something that would fit in another version Robin Hood… though he’ll probably have to drop some of that girth he developed for Body of Lies

I love Bill Hicks’ work. A man that had a beautiful goal: to change our way of thinking, our philosophy and interestingly doing so with a comedic routine. I don’t believe in the afterlife but my take on his “life is just ride” is that our chance at existence doesn’t have to be about worrying.

I would love to see a movie about him.

No film could live up to the man himself. It will inevitably be censored as well (will they include all the various experiments with drugs that Hicks did, or his adventures in the local brothels?)

However you would do well to read a Hicks biography youself (I recommend ‘Agent of Evolution’). Then you would know that Hicks was a christian – or at least that he believed in something like God. It was organised religion and dogma that he didn’t like. Heck you can tell that he believed in life after death just by his material; for instance by his assertion that ‘life is just a ride’.

Do your homework MovieGod.

If Crowe wants to produce or direct the flick that would be great. But I wouldn’t cast him as Bill Hicks. The role requires a younger actor, preferably an unknown. I admire Crowe for wanting to do this. Hicks was always a bigger name in countries like England, Scotland, and Australia than in the U.S. which is a damn shame. Us yanks were too busy listening to Paul Reiser and Jeff Foxworthy. Aren’t we highly evolved beings?
