If you could star in a movie, What movie genre and what role would you prefer?

Feuer Frei! · 03-10-11, 09:05 AM

Me? Any WW2 Setting, from a German Perspective.

Would love to portray someone like Michael Wittmann, the tank commander and ace.
Or portray the genius of Erwin Rommel, the desert fox.

Note: Please, no porno movies! Use your imagination

Not enough German veiwpoint films. Yes WWII would be my setting and like you I would probably do a Wittman\Barkhorn Normandy theme. Hill 112, Carpriquet airfield and its defense by HJ.

Or maybe the not so well known battle of the Courland pocket.

I just know somebody is going to come in here and make a joke about porn

edit- oh, wait, I forgot to post something valid. Sorry.

Let's see here.... I don't know that I'd want to star in a movie, per se, but I sure would have liked to be one of the "Riders of Rohan" in LOTR.

Yes it's sad that there are so few movies about WW2 from a German perspective.
It is extremely sad.

A movie about the SMS Emden with me, of course, in the role of Captain von Müller.

The true stories of Captain von Müller eclipse anything any fiction writer could come up with. Honestly if you made a movie about the SMS Emden, a lot of people would think it was not true and not possible.

But he done did it.

And he did it with honour.

I have no clue, as I've never thought about it.

I used to have a friend (now deceased) who once confided that his dream was to be killed by John Wayne (onscreen of course).

Task Force · 03-10-11, 12:42 PM

Hmm... WW2 movie on the eastern front(preferably as a tank commander, but a infantry man works) (and not one of those stupid ones with a silly love story...) Or a WW1 (whats more fun than a non lethal massed charge?)movie.

Hmm. or maybe a sci-fi movie.

I think I have a new subject to read about, quite the recommendation!

As for me, I just want Tim Blake Nelson's role from Syriana

Probably an Austro-Hungarian field officer on the Italian Front in World War I, where I'll most likely either be utterly incompetent or tragically die. Either that or a mercenary commander in the Thirty Years' War. I'll need to wear an awesome hat in either case, of course.

genre: xxx
role: main ofc
why: guess

Ducimus · 03-10-11, 04:55 PM

I'd do a movie similar to The Thin Red Line. IMO, it's probably the most accurate war film ever made when it comes to the mental gymnastics someone overseas in the military, in a real sh**ty environment goes through. Not enough is said about that. It's all blood and thunder when there's so much one grapples with internally.

science fiction - Ford Prefect type character

Something Medieval or Roman AS LONG as it was historically accurate and not just Hollywood crap.

PhantomLord · 03-11-11, 02:21 AM

I would like to play someone in a band of brothers style series from a german viewpoint. From Poland to the bitter end as allied POW. Covering all the giant wins and giant losses on the field and in their hearts and minds.
Guess that would be too much for a mini series
