Suppose you were in position to cast David Bowie in any role you wanted...

Suppose you were in position to cast David Bowie in any role you wanted, it can be one that another actor eventually got or a role that still has yet to be put on film. What character would Bowie play?

he's dead retard
he'd play david bowie well

I would make him Brainiac in a Superman movie

Bob from Twin Peaks

Klaatu

The vampire guy the mom was dating in Lost Boys. He'd also do the Doors cover on the soundtrack.

The corpse in Swiss Army Man

tin machine era bowie as the neil gaiman sandman

The Joker.

He couldve played any Mickey Rourke roll

That aids ridden tranny from dallas buyers club

>David Bowie was good actor meme
Name one good performance

Space Oddity
Starman
Life on Mars
Under Pressure
The Man Who Sold The World
Ashes to Ashes
Blackstar

Is this enough?

The Tilda Swinton biopic

Lucifer in a as true to the comics as possible Lucifer tv series.

Castor in Tron: Legacy

Hero's, and forget Hero's...

The Joker, Dracula, a down and out detective.

...

Yeah, that would have been pretty cool.

Griffith.

Solid Snake

Illidan Stormrage

Loki from muh Marvel.

nicholas cage

Anything Tilda Swinton did.

A Pontius Pilate spinoff

Nikola Tesla

This is actually a good one

Solid Snake in the Metal Gear movie.

I mean it's obvious, the character's design aswell as most of Metal Gear was based on him.

Supposedly he wanted to play Elrond, and I think Hugo's Elrond slightly draws from Bowie at times.

I think I get where you are coming from
Hugo nailed it imo, but Bowie would have been an interesting take on it

I liked Hugo too.

but yeah, there are little things in his voice and body language sometimes, like how he says "welcome to Rivendell" that sound like Bowie in Labyrinth

...

professor lockhart

Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence
The Man Who Fell to Earth
The Prestige (although he's in the film for less than 10 minutes)

Heroes*

Literally all of Low

Fantastic Voyage

Came here to post Joker too

...

>those RAY pics

peak lel

Original Bob is perfect, Bowie is not repulsive enough.

A heavily altered adaption of Diamond is Unbreakable with bowie as kira

I would make it a coming of age story with high schoolers who gain mysterious psychic powers and find their town haunted by the presence of a serial killer with an equal set of dangerous powers. Because it would be live action the stands themselves would have to be redesigned to not look as silly, but the slice of life stuff would still be important for atmosphere's sake.

yeah. this is pretty much it

you can all stop posting now

The new Sheriff of Twin Peaks

Last Temptation Of Christ

you fucking pleb.

Roy Batty from Blade Runner

This.

Scarecrow in Batman Begins

This.

Porno with me

This. Except me.

Duke Leto Atreides
Elric Melnibone
Charlemagne

how did Araki feel when bowie died.

Bowie: Decomposing on Mars.

NORMAN OSBORNE

80's Spider-Man cast

Michael J. Fox - Peter Parker/Spider-Man
David Bowie - Norman Osborne
Eric Stoltz - Harry Osborne
Molly Ringwald - Mary Jane

Id watch it.

He'd play the Joker considering he was meant to before Nicholson took over in the 1989 film.

...

And who'd be guts?

No, it was supposed to be Tim Curry.

Hannibal Lecter's uncle in Hannibal season 5.

>tfw this was actually supposed to happen

;_;

...

huh

>tfw this was actually supposed to happen
Holy shit, really?

Bryan Fuller said he wanted it to happen, whether it would have or not if he wouldn't have gotten sick nobody knows because NBC shitcanned it.

Fuck NBC.

himself in the ineviable biopic

I still haven't even watched season 3.

You seriously don't know?

i think she would be the best, at least in terms of looks.

I refuse.

Jared Leto's Joker is based off David Bowie's hairstyle

Melquiades in One Hundred Years of Solitude, directed by Richard Ayoade since there's no exception allowing Jodorowsky circa Santa Sangre to do it.

acceptable

I REFUSE.

>acceptable
Thank you, I'm proud.

Wow, he missed out on a lot of great roles.

These would be good. Although I'm glad we got Michael Sheen

>Richard Ayoade
>muh irony
>muh anderson
No thanks.

IIRC Curry was considered for the Joker in the animated series

I always thought that Bowie would be a decent Patrick Bateman.

I just want my Ziggy movie.

The musical never came to pass, but I think they could do a movie adaptation of the material that survived.
Bowie had already laid out pretty much everything for a story to the album, and I'd rather it not be 10 years from now when there's less interest in it.

Bill Wilson

How much of a fag will I seem like if whenever I next get a haircut I bring in a picture of Bowie as example?

Phil Brooks

don't do it user

you're not bowie

even look at bowie. he's frankly not that handsome-- just very thin and weird. he could pull it off

Not much. Don't just gush over Bowie when you explain that's the haircut you want.

>he's frankly not that handsome

I picked him specifically for what he did with The Double.

Adrian Lyne or 80s Spielberg would probably be better choices in hindsight.

I found the Double to be extremely dull and uninteresting. From both a story perspective and a filmmaking one.

Yeah conversation with barbers is the last thing I want in my life.

Richard just take a fucking compliment for fuck's sake

You'll be fine, user. Just go: "I would like this haircut, please." Show the photo and that's it. Done. If the barber strikes up conversation with you about it, just give non-committal noises as a response.

It's so difficult. I feel so awkward accepting that anything in this world that has anything to do with me could have any value whatsoever. Isn't it awful being me.

My hair is actually kinda like that naturally when I grow it out. I'm just autistic so I never know what to say when they ask how I want my hair cut.

I swear sometimes barbers like to tell you all about what they majored in in college and how they ended up as a barber instead and it's horrible.

Well, it's to pass the time. Just politely smile and make non-committal noises. You'll be fine, you goddamn autist. :*

He really would make a great vampire, but I'm not sure I would cast him in that particular role.

>:*
What the fucking hell is wrong with you user?

I'll try my best.

It's a kiss for good luck to autist user.
