A Frank Zappa biopic?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   With the upcoming Sinatra biopic, I've always had it in my head that a Zappa biopic would really be interesting to see. Could it be done? I think so, if Milos Forman can do biopics of figures like Mozart, Larry Flynt and Andy Kaufman, why not Frank?

Frank had a rather interesting life and was one of the most rebellious and fascinating figures in music. And I can't think of any other actor to portray him than John Turturro, he looks enough like Frank and certainly has the acting chops. Yes, I know he probably can't play guitar, but then again, Forest Whitaker didn't know how to play sax when he did Charley Parker.
