The Casting Lounge

If they made a movie based on your favorite composer/pianist, who would you cast in it purely based on looks/charisma?  ;D

 :D these are all great.

One of my favorites is Jude Law as Liszt ^_^, Liszt must have been a player.

I think they should make a movie about Liszt, not just because he's intersting, but the sheer amount of historical figures he knew! It would be so cool to have thousands of little references to all these really famous composers/writers/artists.

I know how to professionally screenwrite and I'm thinking of writing a screenplay as soon as I can find a couple good biographies I can read first.

Er, they did. It's called Lisztomania by Ken Russell and starred Roger Daltrey of The Who. Well sexy IIRC.
