To be fair, doesn't every guy want Brad Pitt to play them in a movie?
Except me, I want Corey Feldman to play me, and I would play the role of Corey Feldman.

Why don't they consider Dolph Lundgren. Clearly we aren't looking for realism so hey why not? We can even get the two faced nature of Newt Down with a bit of work.

No I rally don't like Pitt. He's been good in a few movies but I just don't like him.

In his defense, Brad does a great job of eating food in all his scenes. So you know, if the story's about how he got fat..

Is that the one where a very hip Newt wanders around America seeking the presidency while making top 10 lists about topics like best speeches, best assassinations within the larger structure of his top 5 political failures?

It will be an Oscar worthy scene when they film Pitt in the hospital, telling his sick wife that he is dumping her for someone more healthy.

Seems like he has a healthy kinky role playing sex life with his wife.

FTFA the actual quote:
"No, I don't look like him at all," Gingrich said. "He's thinner, he's better looking, he's younger."
"But you asked me if I could have anyone who could play me in a movie," Gingrich mused, "why not go for Brad Pitt?"
I like Newt Gingrich just as much as anyone else (which is not much at all), but there is nothing wrong with this statement. I too would like to have Brad Pitt play me in a movie, and it would be a truly excellent pickup line too.
"Have you seen X yet? No? Did you know that Brad Pitt is me in that movie?"

This hurts me a little.
I vote the shiat monster from Dogma plays Newt. That's what I see every time I look at him.

I have had pretty much the same idea. Although, I would want Terry Crews (President Camacho in Idiocracy) to play me.
/no, looks nothing like me.

Newt has to be played by Charles Durning (think 'dance a little side step' in Best Little Whore House in Texas) or Bill Wiley (Reverend in Porky's II).
'Course he could also be played by Ray Wise, he plays the devil in everything else.
DigitalCoffee

Michael Moore should play Newt.

Sadly, Sorrell Booke, who played Boss Hogg on "The Dukes of Hazard," is dead. He would have been a natural to play Newt. All he would've need is a bad hairpiece, like the one Newt wears.

Seems like the Stay Puff marshmallow man would be ideal. Looks and temperment both are like Newt.

Maybe Newt will be revealed to have an anarchist/prankster alter ego played by Brad Pitt.
Shenanigans!
2012-02-02 11:45:21 PM
It'd be sort of a movie within a movie, because Newt is already playing the part of the i troll u guy.

Why not? DeNiro won an Oscar when he larded up, and I'm sure Brad is sick of being a perpetual nominee.
Seriously, though, Newt. You'll be played by Phil Hoffman and like it.

That's a great idea. Pitt would have no qualms about portraying Gingrich as the farktard he is. The only question is whether Pitt is a good enough actor to make Gingrich look as bad as he is in real life. I don't think Pitt has it in him, but that's a pretty rough mark to hit.

No. I get that Newt's cracking a joke, but when Brad Pitt plays a role, all you remember is Brad Pitt. Hell, the only time I remembered the name of the
character
he was "acting" was
Moneyball
and that's only because I'm a fan of Billy Beane himself.
I'd have my character played by Gary Oldman. I'm sure it'd be unflattering, but if it's not me, at least it'll be interesting.

The more that comes out of his mouth, the more apparent it becomes that he's an extremely sociopathic narcissist with delusions of grandeur. The guy's a farkin' nutjob.

I would watch that movie.
I as well, want Gary Oldman to play me in the movie of my life. I would choose Bruce Campbell, but he would have to grow a giant beard for the role, and we can't cover up the chin.
With that said, it would probably be Robbie Coltrane as hagrid, as me.

The only, ONLY time I don't hate Gingrich is when he makes self-deprecating jokes about his appearance or weight. It's like he's a real person for a minute. And then I hate him again.
