As the ultimate titles of the 2024 film schedule are launched, together with the Bob Dylan biopic A Full Unknown, its star Timothée Chalamet has began to share what could possibly be subsequent. Seemingly, for the Little Girls actor, if given the possibility to steer one other biopic, it’d be a notable Inside The NBA host, and I completely see it for him.
With the Christmas Day film launch, particular person opinions and critics alike have been optimistic and hyping Chalamet in his off-kilter efficiency. The rising star, for my part, is destined for extra biopics and his private decide is an apt one. Because the Ladybird alum labored by way of the final leg of his Bob Dylan film press, he stopped in at SiriusXM. By way of their Instagram, the hosts and Chalamet discuss different public figures he’d wish to play and the American-French actor revealed a shocking sports activities determine host. He mentioned of a dream biopic he’d love to do:
If I may do one other biopic, who would it not be? What in regards to the Ernie Johnson biopic, the host of ‘Contained in the NBA?’
Ernie Johnson isn’t anybody I’d’ve aligned with the Dune actor, however now that it’s on the market, I feel it might be a fantastic pairing. And, I don’t know if it’s a coincidence he shared Johnson as his decide, with Contained in the NBA saying its ending (particularly after that Emmy speech), however the timing is serendipitous all the identical. The Wonka star does know methods to make some moments for himself whereas selling a film. The newest spotlight was along with his A Full Unknown costar, Elle Fanning once they recreated the ‘holding house’ meme whereas being interviewed by Tracy E. Gilchrist.
The Name Me By Your Title alum then mused in regards to the realities of being chosen by the longstanding sports activities analyst. He was hopeful and mused of being on the brief record of actors to play him:
You by no means know. He may have already got a brief record of people who I am not on.
Johnson can be a fantastic candidate to have or be included in a historic biopic mission of some kind. He’s been within the skilled sports activities world since 1977 and spans a number of leagues–basketball, baseball, and golf, to call a number of. I consider that the Interstellar alum may get the sports activities broadcaster’s persona down, particularly after studying his preliminary impersonation of Bob Dylan had the solid and crew of A Full Unknown second-guessing themselves.
And if that isn’t sufficient of a promote, we’ll get an opportunity to see Chalamet in a 2025 film schedule sports activities flick known as, Marty Supreme. On the time of this posting, not an excessive amount of is cemented aside from it’s a comedy and could also be reflective of ping pong star Marty Reisman. Both approach, this can be the street in for Chalamet to play Ernie Johnson, and I’m wanting ahead to this upcoming Josh Safdie-directed movie.
For now, the Bones and All alum’s work as Bob Dylan is greater than sufficient. Though, as a fan of each Chalamet and Contained in the NBA, I hope his announcement of desirous to play Johnson comes true.
A Full Unknown is taking part in in theaters now.
