I suppose it's the same thing as wanting to read the book before seeing a movie based on it, which I tend to like to do.

I'd rather more people just see the doc, for me it's one of the top films of 2007. That casting would be spot on for both roles, but the documentary was so good it seems crazy to remake it.

All about the high scores... I had a feeling that the Billy Mitchell character was one of the best 'villians' seen in a long-time, a lot better than most fictional movie villians out right now. I'm not sure how this will translate to the big screen though, the documentry was pretty entertaining to begin with, i doubt it will be topped no matter who stars in it.

See, I think Tom Cruise could work as Billy Mitchell precisely because everyone hates him. And just think about his character in Magnolia. The problem is, he's probably way out of their price range for this movie. Thanks Chris, glad to have you reading both sites!

I am WAY more interested in the doc version than any fictional version, especially if it involves Tom Cruise. By the way, love your site! I found it via The Documentary Blog.
