If A Movie Was Going To Be Made About Pink Floyd...

Post by Real Pink in the Inside »

...Who would you cast?

Richard Gere would obviously be the perfect Roger Waters circa 1983 or so (With makeup) to the present (Without makeup).

I've always felt Johnny Depp, after a bit of makeup, would be a good Syd Barrett circa 1960s (Although Depp is getting up their in age, Hollywood can do some very dazzling things with makeup).

I think Billy Crudup (Russell Hammond in Almost Famous) and Karl Urban (Éomer in LOTR: The Two Towers) would be decent selections for a younger David Gilmour, although they would not be the best selections in the world I am sure.

I can't think of anyone for Mason and Wright.

If I could only cast two big-time actors, I would cast Richard Gere as Roger Waters (Latter years) and Kevin Spacey as David Gilmour (Latter years). Spacey isn't an overly good selection when you compare them physically (At least without makeup), but I think he could play Gilmour, in his latter years, very well.

What do you think?

Hmmmm...who would I cast?

I don't know...but I've got some ideas...some of these are just for fun, but if you think about it...it's probably what Hollywood would do.

Syd Barrett--Johnny Depp (good call, R.)
Roger Waters--Jared Leto or perhaps the guy from American Psycho
David Gilmour--Leonardo DiCaprio
Richard Wright--Robert Downey Junior
Nick Mason--Richard "Cheech" Marin

Just a thought.
