Bill, you seem to be a big Biopic aficionado. What do you think about biopics being made while the figure is still alive? For example, this new biopic about Elton John. Is it right to create films when the subject is still around?
ellie-jessie-eve - I think it’s absolutely fine; doesn’t matter in the slightest. Frankly, I’m surprised it took this long for an Elton John biopic to come around. Also, in the creation of this thread, I postulated why there was no Edgar Bergen biopic yet, and that project is now in development, I believe by his daughter, to be presented from the point of view of Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer.
I wouldn’t say I’m a biopic aficionado; I’m just a hard-core cinephile.
Time to revive this.
William Shakespeare, anyone?
