Question at Midnight #2
Who will play you in your big-budget film biopic?
Physical resemblance not absolutely necessary. Gender, nationality and skin color immaterial. The actor doesn’t even have to be living. It’s a movie fantasy.

Janeane Garofalo.

Tilda Swinton. For a life of ambiguities.

Dane DeHaan. Cover your ears!

And it has to be done before they get him to play Tilda Swinton’s biopic.
Unlike Mark Zuckerberg, I won’t be able to see my biopic because I would probably have had a cardiac arrest. Or I might be in prison for disturbing the peace of dolphins with my where-on-earth-is-that-from scream.

Meryl Streep.
Simply because Meryl Streep can play anyone believably and accurately, and she will probably do a better job at playing me than even me.

Russell Crowe!

Michael V. It will be like Norbit. Working title in my head : Norbitoy (it may sound like Michael V’s biopic, but then again…)

Jean-Pierre Léaud in my youth, then Louis Garrel as a man; cigarettes and ennui.

Helena Bonham-Carter (Tim Burton directing obviously). She can portray my conscious and subconscious self. As a passive aggressive, gothic-inside introvert this is the only way to make a movie out of my life, otherwise it would just be a boring, day-in-a-life mockumentary – every day is the same anyway.
Besides, she’s got right jaw and height. All she needs is to pack on a few (50) lbs and put on a prosthetic, Filipinized nose and she’s good to go!

Jeanne Moreau because that downturned mouth knows much too much.
September 25th, 2014 at 11:42
Bridget Fonda as Janet Livermore from Singles. Because there’s dignity in being alone. And I’ve always wanted to wear dresses and Doc Martens if only that damn footwear weren’t so expensive and uncomfortable.

Big budget syempre Leo Di Caprio. He would definitely be good portraying my weirdness. Haha!
September 25th, 2014 at 12:22
Emma Stone

Emma Stone (akong ako interesting, konting brain , totoong tao, beauty, classy and virginal)

Angeli Bayani. If Norte is loosely based on Crime and Punishment, my life story is loosely based on Claire Messud’s The Woman Upstairs (without the sex). I am looking forward to seeing the look of quiet frustration on Angeli’s eyes as she waits in line at the MRT station.

Martin Freeman. He gets the doctor way in over his head and deadpan snarking right.
September 25th, 2014 at 17:06
Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O’Hara. Girl who faced hardship and suffering through hardheadedness and gumption.
September 25th, 2014 at 17:14
Julia Roberts. Because it’s time for her second Oscar. She can get it again by playing another larger-than-life character like me–who’s been described as larger than life itself. Only Julia Roberts can pull Steven Soderberg out of retirement to direct this big-budget biopic.
If Julia refuses to do this film, Cate Blanchett will be a welcome replacement!

A CGI reimagination of Michael Fassbender’s dong as acted and voiced by Andy Serkis. Cameo appearance of Mr. Fassbender.
A 3D movie helmed by Lav Diaz using the cameras of International Space Station. Imagine the zooms and lingering scenes with the main character.

Monica Belucci, the way she looked when she portrayed the role of Malena.

Shohreh Adhdashloo
I have chronic sinusitis.
September 25th, 2014 at 21:36
Ben Whishaw. Brooding, mysterious type.

Xyriel Manabat as a little girl and Cate Blanchett as an adult.
I was an obnoxious kid (and an obnoxious adult) always asking why and even arguing about the pronunciation of pizza. Why should it be pit-za when it doesn’t have any “t” in it?
Cate Blanchett just because she was brilliant in Blue Jasmine. I feel like I’m the character in Blue Jasmine, just holding it together a bit better. Plus, she was Galadriel. Galadriel! The holder of one of the three rings given to the elves! It would make me just one degree separated from being a character in LOTR.

Logan Lerman, who can be awkward and charming at the same time.
September 25th, 2014 at 22:09
Saoirse Ronan, because if you reverse everything about her, I would be it; but if my feelings and thoughts were to have an anthromorphic projection it would look like the character she played in Hanna.
September 25th, 2014 at 22:31
I’d say Ellen Page. I like the way she acted in Juno, XMen, and of course Inception. Even if she’s like 10 years too young, I think she can play me quite accurately!
September 25th, 2014 at 23:07
Mylene Dizon. Only because she portrays a real good villain. I feel like I’m a devil clothed in sheeps’ clothing. And prayer keeps me from becoming a demon. I’m nowhere near her physique but she’ll give justice to my bio.
September 25th, 2014 at 23:08
Nicolas Cage! I’m a girl but it would be fun to watch Nic Cage act out my frustrated outbursts about my family, life, and society.
