Frank & Mia Forever Never

Me being me the very first thought that went through my head upon reading this afternoon's news that Martin Scorsese is directing a biopic of Frank Sinatra was, and I am not kidding, this was literally the very first thought I had, well who will play the Rosemary's Baby era Mia Farrow then?

When I'm in the right sort of mood - it's usually when I'm cleaning, oddly enough - I can blast some Sinatra and shimmy around but mostly I could give a fuck about the man other than the whole Farrow part of his story. Which is this, as relayed by Wikipedia:

"Farrow married singer Frank Sinatra on July 19, 1966, when she was 21 and he was 50. During the production of Farrow's 1968 film Rosemary's Baby, after she refused Sinatra's demand that she quit the film to work on his movie The Detective, he served her with divorce papers on the Rosemary's Baby set."

That's some juicy shit right there that's always been fascinating to me, and that needs to be in the movie. I mean, probably I'm just using this as a mental excuse to cast a scene that's a recreation of the behind-the-scenes of Rosemary within Scorsese's film, and play-casting everyone in my head. Who could play Mia though?

The horror, the horror! Don't you dare even speak it!

Seriously though, the only real option
is Michelle Williams, am I right?


And thankfully she's just finished working
with Marty on Shutter Island! It's perfect!
