JohnRogers Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 did anyone actually believe that article in the first place?No but it is making the rounds on the Book of Face. Someone was bound to fall for it. It would be more believable if Hanks was playing modern day Peart in Bubba's Motorcycle Diaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JARG Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Do ya'll remember a few years back people were all excited that Nicholas Cage was going to play Neil in the Ghost Rider movie? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JARG Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Yes, people really thought Peart's book was going to be made into a movie and that Cage was going to play Peart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a semi-Peart smile, but the eyes are all wrong. We must keep searching for the perfect actor to play the role of the one and only Neil. If need be, we will get an unknown to play the part. I'm sure we can find one right here on TRF. Edited February 1, 2016 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 A "Chasing Neil Peart" movie starring some Rush fanboys trailing Peart and being stopped by Mosbach every step of the way. It'd be a road trip movie in which Peart is never actually shown except in concert footage. Any non-gig footage of him would be like the clips we see of Bigfoot...grainy or extremely fleeting. j/k 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 How are we going to turn Randy into a young Neil? It's a little too late I think. But he appears to have the right amount of Neil bulk to play the older Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorkingAllTheTime Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Oh how I wish this were true. Hanks' son could play the younger Peart.... Hanks as the older Peart. But who would play Alex and Geddy? My cast for Ray Daniels is Paul Giamatti.... I realize he looks nothing like Ray, but I think he could basically reach back to his character in Sideways and capture the ethos of Ray quite well.
