john sypal Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 <p>Ok, so if Nicole Kidman can play Diane Arbus in a <a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/ picturehouse/fur/">movie</a> and it for some reason does well, Hollywood is sure to want to crank out more "imagined" stories about other great photographers. My suggestions are as follows:</p> <p><img id="image915" src="http://kenshukan.net/john/archives/photographersinthemovies.jpg" alt="photographersinthemovies.jpg" /></p> <p>(If putting these images in this forum does not count as "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Fair_use#Fair_use_and_parody">fair use</a>" the moderator is more than welcome to delete this thread.) </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_kaplan1 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Comparing publicity mug shots seems fair enough to me. Plenty of publications would do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Nice try. But the first one is clearly Jade from Big Brother! (If you don't know who this is, count your blessings).<p><b>: )</b><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinay_patel Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 "Atticus Finch" was the character (in To Kill A Mockingbird), the actor's name was Gregory Peck. And I think Michael Keaton looks more like Eggleston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oceanphysics Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Sorry -- I don't see any resemblance at all between DeNiro and Capa. Totally different eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth and hairline. He was a Hungarian Jew. Bela Lugosi is closer (though currently unavailable). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger_michel Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 speaking of leica and the movies -- did anyone notice how much air time a leica M3 got in "running with scissors" which opened on friday last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary_gumanow Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Would Danny DeVitto play Weegee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john sypal Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 <p>Devito would make a good WeeGee, but Joe Pesci kind of beat him to in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105187/">a movie</a> back in 1992.</p> <p>And yes, I am well aware of the difference between Mr. Finch and Mr. Peck. That was the joke.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattalofs Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 All photograrphers - including Diane Arbus - should be played by Johnny Depp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey_trautenberg1 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 D Devito played a Weegee like character in I think L A Confidential around 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
