Well, the Doors movie was not that bad... And anyone that would do a syd movie would have to be a huge fan so how much could they fuck it up?

wonder who'd play roles... of David, Rog, Nick, Rick, etc... any suggestions? Brad Pitt might be Gilmour, Depp might be Roger or Rick... no wait, - Nick!

There was a guy who played a young Aston Kutcher character in the movie The Butterfly Effect. When I saw him I kept thinking how much he looks like Rodger Waters. He should be a bit older now since that movie was made so he should look more the right age as well. His name is John Patrick Amedori. I think he would be perfect to play Waters.
There was a movie made about the Beatles early years quite few years back called Backbeat. It is basically the Stu Sutcliffe That was a great re-creation of the early days. Hopefully a Sid Barret movie would have about the character about Floyd as this movie did for the Beatles.

Syd Barrett Movie

Post by 04 Mother »

I would love to see a movie about Syd Barrett but I would want some authentication from a reputable source on how accurate it is. Like, Roger or David. Even sister Rosemary would be good.
What a beautiful man he was!!! It would be hard to find someone who looks as good as he did.

I think Jonny would be great if he played Dave. But I actually think I like Michael Pitt in the part better. They kind of have the same bee-stung looking lips as David Gilmour.

I don't know if he's a good actor but Casey Affleck looks a LOT like Syd.

I can see Leonardo Dicaprio playing David Gilmour. I think Casey Affleck could play Syd, but I get the feeling it's going to end up being Johnny Depp. And the guy posted above could play Roger.
