Movie about Photographers

[Daqlon]

I was wondering if they would make a movie about one photographer who would it be? There are some movies around about photographers probably, but if you have big amount of money. Who would you go for it. I guess Ansel Adams would be interesting, because he meet with Stieglitz or maybe Eugene Atget who finally found his spirit in photography.

Let me know what do you think?

I vote for Jim Galli.

There have been a few already. "Fur" with Nicole Kidman was based on Diane Arbus, and "The Public Eye" with Joe Pesci was based (albeit a bit loosely) on Weegee.

Jim Galli!!

"Edward Weston and His Lady Loves." XXX rated. Don't know who would play his role, though, now that Big John Holmes is no longer with us. Maybe Michael J. Fox for his last years?

Other than his occasional meetings with the LGM (little green men), Jim Galli probably doesn't lead a life that Hollywood would find attractive for a movie. PBS might be interested. Getting the manufacturers of those lovely brass lenses to sponsor the program might be a problem, though.

Weston would be a good candidate, I agree. Years back, Robert Redford might have been a good choice for the lead role, but he's probably too old now.

Yeah I can imagine Redford acting to Weston. I like the idea.

Absolutely!!

Not big budget, nor with actors, Weston did star in two films. "The Photographer" directed by Willard Van Dyke in 1948 and the Lou Stoumen film "The Naked Eye" released in 1956. Not really Academy Award performances, but interesting.

Jim Galli? I'll ponder that one!
