Las Vegas - PLEASE indulge me for one more day. Just finished the entire 'Tiger King' docuseries, and now have odds on who will play the main characters in the upcoming mini series.
Enjoy, and of course, if you have any alternative suggestions, YELL!
----------------------------------------------------
*ENTERTAINMENT*
----------------------------------------------------
*Odds on who will play Joe Exotic*
----------------------------------------------------
Kevin Bacon * 3/2*
Billy Bob Thornton * 5/2*
David Spade * 3/1*
Edward Norton * 5/1*
Michael Keaton * 8/1*
----------------------------------------------------
Note: Joe Exotic would like Brad Pitt to play him. Kevin Bacon is the favorite, but we're dropping some cash on 'Beetlejuice,' who has just the right amount of crazy to bring Joe Exotic to the screen. Also talked to a famous Hollywood casting director, because we ALWAYS do the requisite research, and she recommends Ed Norton at 5/1.
----------------------------------------------------
*Odds on who will play Carole Baskin*
----------------------------------------------------
Kate McKinnon * 1/5*
Allison Janney * 3/1*
Kristen Wiig * 5/1*
Laura Dern * 6/1*
Jennifer Coolidge * 10/1*
----------------------------------------------------
Note: According to Vanity Fair, Kate McKinnon signed up to star in and executive produce a limited series based on the podcast Joe Exotic. Just in case the studio decides to change direction, Allison Janney would be an inspired choice. If you didn't see her work in 'I Tonya' as LaVona, Harding's mother, RENT IT!!! My Hollywood casting director threw down someone not even on the list, Julianne Moore.
----------------------------------------------------
*Odds on who will play Doc Antle*
----------------------------------------------------
Jim Gaffigan * 5/2*
Will Ferrell * 3/1*
Louis C.K. * 4/1*
Matt Damon * 5/1*
Shia LaBeouf * 6/1*
----------------------------------------------------
Note: My Hollywood casting director likes the favorite, Jim Gaffigan, in this spot. She's probably right, but would LOVE to see Mr. More Cowbell, Will Ferrell, in this spot.
----------------------------------------------------
*Odds on who will play John Finlay*
----------------------------------------------------
Shia LaBeouf * 2/1*
Tom Hardy * 3/1*
Leonardo DiCaprio * 5/1*
Channing Tatum * 6/1*
Elijah Wood * 8/1*
----------------------------------------------------
Note: Shia might be the favorite, but money is on Tom Hardy. Lemme just say that Hardy is one of my favorite actors, and probably, my opinion, one of the TOP FIVE working today. PLZ check out the movie 'Legend,' where Tom plays both the Kray twins, Reggie and Ronald. One word...STUNNING!!! Actually, my Hollywood casting director agrees with me and is betting on Hardy as well.
----------------------------------------------------
*Odds on who will play Travis Maldonado*
----------------------------------------------------
Rami Malek * 3/2*
James Franco * 2/1*
Pete Davidson * 3/1*
Jesse Eisenberg * 5/1*
Michael Cera * 8/1*
----------------------------------------------------
Note: Spoiler alert...if you have not seen the entire docuseries yet, STOP reading right now. Sadly, Travis Maldonado does not make it to the end of the series, taking his own life. James Franco (41) might be a little older than Maldonado (23), but the guy can act up a storm. And once again, my Hollywood casting director agrees with me and is betting Franco.
