Is it time for a bertie movie?

bertie has the answer

US presidents get films all the time, but we never give our politicians the credit that is due. I think it would certainly make for an interesting film, particulary the love life/ the struggles / the uphill battles.

Now one thing I couldnt make my up on is who would play the part of Bertie. Do you we underappreciate our poilticians when comparing to lets say America were they put their leaders in films.

I'd watch it.

























If it was a snuff movie.

He'll do it himself for a few quid. No sense of f'cking shame at all.

Kiera

No.

humanji

Well everyone loves gangster and corruption movies, so Bertie's life would be perfect for that. I'd like Danny DeVitto to play him.

Its really annoying when you post like that! :mad:

Another remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels?

Steve Martin I bet could do a good Bertie, and Michael Caine is about the right age for Haughey.

Could be epic.

stevejr

It'd make a great comedy..

Maybe if they make it like Air Force One, and he has to deal with hijackers on a government jet...

That'd be cool.

TeddyTedson

Only Bertie would have the nerve more like! Not anytime soon. Maybe when the wounds have healed, or when he's dead.

I assure you my jokes are of the highest grade material. Richard Pryor once asked me to write for him back in the 70's*

Fuk no. If I wanted to see a film about an Irish criminal I'll watch the general.

Screaminmidget

I love it!

I couldn't have said it better.

They will wait until he get's in Aras!! I think anyone would be mad to give him a vote if he had the neck to run :mad: I for sure wouldn't give him a vote.

Though he is no fool; he knew when to step down after the damage was done.

I still cringe when I think of his speech at one of the FF ard fheis when he he said something along the lines of anyone who believes all the stories about Ireland over spending etc should commit suicide.

I know he said sorry but this speech was prepared well in advance by himself and highly paid advisors and this was no excuse.

Sorry for the rant!

Laurz858

PS I won it on the horses!! Yeah thats a deadly name for the movie!!
Jaysus Bertie in a porno!! That wud be more of a horror movie than a gangster flick! hahaaha!

The only team Bertie supports is Man UTD.

That going away speech in 2008? I would like to see someone like Michael Douglas do that like the speech in indepdencen day. But there would never be enough money to pay the actor.

Against all odds, hmmm think that was the name of the horse he won the money on.

Starring:

Steve Martin as Bertie Ahern
Wilson from cast away as Micheal McDowell
Rob Schneider as Willy O'Dea
Scarlett Johansen as President Mary McAleese
and introducing
A tub of lard as Mary Harney

Biggins

No. The real pantomime that is Bertie, is still rolling onwards.
Till that FINALLY end, we cannot have conclusion to a film. One that will hopefully end in a court case and prison term.

...Yes, I know we've gone from autobiography to fantasy.

A bit like Berties book!

Probably to make up for the ones that you miss out.

Pity Steve Martin already used the title The Jerk .

I would like to Bertie played by Tom Cruise because when they make the Sunday world advert they would have a tough job getting him outta the closet.
Roseanne Barr would make a great Mary Harney but she would have to gain a few pounds for the role.

Hannibal

Would they be able to find a big enough prop wardrobe for his cash seen as he had no bank a/c
