Excellent choice Rabid, I never would have come up with that one. I bet he wouldn't turn the part down either.
Along time ago I heard someone say how little dialogue Steve McQueen actually had to learn for the part. I don't think it was a couple hundred words or so. If you think about it, mostly all he did through out the whole movie is walk around with a scowl on his face, looking like a "bad asp". (See how cleverly I snuck that past the censors) But the big question is, can Colin Farrel drive? Or at least look like he can.
Now, who's going to be his leading lady? Of course she has to be driving a Porsche Boxter. But if all the members on the forum get together and "bank roll" the making of the movie, we could always "write in" a Crossfire roadster for her. (Just a thought)
