In the inevitable movie about the case, who will play Mr Burke?

Maybe get Michael Douglas to play the Dad.

Stephen Gawking · 18-01-2023 11:13am

Either Hugh Jackman or he could play himself because he looks like he could do with playing with himself.

Tom Hanks. Character will be like Forest Gump with the rest of his family. And an 'take no sh|t' attitude like Hanks character in the 'Da Vinci Code' 'Angels & Demons' when filming the court scenes and as a teacher in the school.

A pair of glasses, a Dunnes Stores suit and Elliot Page could do it.

Yep absolutely perfect. I will add though that I think the entire cast should be trans.

Actor would have to have an appropriate personal pronoun - 'it' would be ideal.

I note this thread wasn't shut down as quickly as other threads have been.

Bias much.

Stick a pair of glasses on a mannequin.

Soz Enoch.

Kim Petras would be a great Ammi.

Could make the Burkes spontaneously combust.

12-02-2023 9:55am

Hari Nef would make a great Ammi

Not to pour scorn on the idea, but I really don't think watching a guy show up at a bulding and do nothing for several hours a day for a month or so would make for a watchable movie.

Netflix will do it though.

Shirley Temple Bar

Just to piss him off.

odyssey06 · 12-02-2023 10:05am

Andrew Scott has the intensity.

Brendan would be great as the Judge.

Or Eddie Izzard.

Yeah but if a bit of poetic licence was used , maybe bring in a love interest for Enoch and have the court peice a long the lines of a My Cousin Vinny style production .
