Three Heads Are Better Than One

.
Did everybody see the documentary Three Identical Strangers, about the triplets who were separated at birth only to be reunited as adults and become a media sensation in the 1980s? Checking the archive I guess I never reviewed it but I remember thinking it solid -- it's such an incredible story (and it only gets weirder from that weird jumping off point somehow) that the doc didn't even have to do a lot of extra work for it to work; you were riveted from the start. Anyway word comes today that the dude who wrote the screenplay for Bohemian Rhapsody (blerg) is writing a script for a fictionalized retelling, which seems like a natural idea until you get to thinking about casting -- I'm guessing this is something they'll do with one actor and then Parent Trap it up, just thrice? 

Actors love that shit! And so do I, since I always get all excited about ye olde harmless CG twincest aka what all technology was invented for. Giving an actor three different roles in one movie and letting them loose, I could see this idea exciting a lot of our best actors. But who should play Robert Shafran, David Kellman and Eddy Galland? They had a distinct look. Gimme casting ideas in the comments!

  2. I go to a Eurovision party every year but I only think of those people during those few hours, otherwise no

  3. Mark Ruffalo for the older years and Oliver Jackson Cohen for the younger years.

    Robert Sheehan could definitely pull the look plus he’s a great actor.
