That guy who pretended he was an undercover MI5 agent on the run from the IRA and fooled lots of people into giving him all their money and going on the run with him for, like, TEN years and stuff - has that been made into a film yet?

I can't remember the details, but that mentally ill bloke who just turned up somewhere one day, was taken to hospital, he didn't speak at all and no one could work out who he was or what country he was from, just that he could play the piano to a concert-pianist level.

a studio has already bought the rights for that one.

Wasn't that "Shine"?

No, it'll be Roberto Benigni's remake of The Pianist, Playing Is Life-Affirming.

It wasn't to a concert pianist level. Just a sort of Grade-Six amateur level. Dude was a German I think, the so-called 'only gay of his village' (ya rly), who had some sort of mental disorder. If it's filmed they'll tart it up no end, make him a psychopath with a deadly past or whatever.

I think we've just given Momus a song title there

when that snake tried to eat a alligator but instead it exploded (as a buddy cop movie)

I think we have. Has Momus ever used ILX suggestions before?

I saw this on ANIMAL PLANET the other day...WTF.

I wanted to hug the snake, tell him I understood his pain.

I remember saying that when a proffesional wrestler become a represenative in Japan and thinking that was going to be a movie. Like Mr. Smith goes to Washington but with wrestling.

When the BBC's 'Wrong Guy' incident happened*, my first, laughablly fleeting thought was that some donkey would pitch it as a film (with appropriate embellishments to stop it being, like, really boring) before the year was out.

Sadly, it appears I was right.

(*Story in brief: guy turns up for interview at the BBC, is mistaken for a guest, appears on live TV graciously answering questions about an Apple court case. That's it. 'Auntie's Bloomers' - nothing more, nothing less.)
