John Kennedy Jr Biopic

Has anyone done a biopic about John-John? It seems like they've done biopics about everyone else (Roseanne got two). Are they afraid that someone will sue? I mean he dated half of NYC and most of them are still alive. Many still consider him America's Prince. Why no biopic?

Good question op

There was one done a few years ago. A no name actor starred in it but I can’t remember the name.

He’s alive and working against the deep state.

A biopic would be tough to cast that's for sure. I'm sure that spring chicken Sarah Jessica Parker would insist on playing herself. God knows she hasn't aged a day.

There was a documentary a year ago about the last year of his life that Carole Radziwhatever tried to make sound she was more involved in than she actually was. Biography: JFK Jr—The Final Year

If they could make it campy, I would watch it, but he's such an "America's son" icon I doubt anyone would want to make that attempt. I'd love to see John Waters take a stab at it.

There have been several movie made about the life of JFK jr. Google is your friend (well not really)

They should make one starring James Marsden as JFK.

They would have to do it like Mommie Dearest and change the names of the living, like they did with the maid Carole Ann. All the girlfriends names would have to be changed, Sarah Jessica, Madonna, even Christianne Amanpour.

Have you ever heard of the Kennedy curse?

I don't think any scene act would want to play John John, I don't care how much money they pay him.

Bad Poltergeist /Macbeth mojo going on here.

Will they show him engaging in the homo sex?

Beyond gays in basements, he was just not that interesting to America.

Quentin Tarantino should make it.

R6 He's too old. There was a TV movie with some guy who looked nothing like him. Forgettable.

[quote] Has anyone done a biopic about John-John?

Because he never did anything, except start a vanity magazine no one read. What events could a biopic possibly detail other than his death, and his saluting his father's coffin at age 3?

Just because he was highly fuckable doesn't mean he was interesting.

[quote]What events could a biopic possibly detail other than his death, and his saluting his father's coffin at age 3?

His dealing with what his mother wanted him to be. He tried to be a lawyer like his mother wanted and that didn't work out for him and that's why he started the magazine. The general restlessness of a man whose famous family and country had great expectations for him which he couldn't fulfill.

he did nothing important enough to warrant immortalization.

born rich and famous, was beautiful, slept around and dropped dead. other than his money and fame (and incredible looks) he sounds like a regular person in accomplishments. so who would care?

Maybe a trip to Grey Gardens would liven things up: John John meets Little Edie and the Marble Faun.

There was a made-for-TV movie in the early 2000s titled AMERICA'S PRINCE:THE JOHN F. KENNEDY JR. STORY starring Jacqueline Bissett as 'Jackie Onassis' and Portia De Rossi as 'Carolyn Bessette.' I remember looking forward to it and watching it, but I can't recall if it was any good.

R18 I thought it was ok to watch once and then forget about it.

by Anonymousreply 19January 24, 2020 2:06 PM

That guy at r18 looks like a total milquetoast as JFK Jr. That would be the problem with any biopic. You could never find anyone as handsome as him.

by Anonymousreply 20January 24, 2020 2:08 PM

He was gay. He only dated well known beards like Jessica Parker. Quite transparent.
