I want Matthew Broderick to play me. Matthew of 1986. Ferris Bueller. Iâ€™m smug and acidic enough. Iâ€™ll need Matthewâ€™s charm to make the audience root for me. I want Matthew to talk to the camera, too, like he did in Bueller. Thereâ€™s just too much to say and be opinionated about.

Colin Farrell, although the only semblance we have are our eyebrows. I don’t require much acting anyway. All he needs to do is play me playing with myself. That would be the next best thing to me having sex with him in reality. There’s some sort of “The Gaze” element in it.

I’d be Judd Nelson. Not many actors nowadays know the fine art of nostril-flaring. Flared nostrils can mean anger, surprise, jealousy, eureka moment,… almost the whole lot of powerful feelings. Can be used even for the unintended comic relief. Never fails to rouse the audience!

I cant flare my nostril; was a frustration since kindergarten, so in my biopic, I want to be able to do it. And Judd Nelson has giant nostrils at his disposal.

I saw Breakfast Club just last week. What a demo by Judd of his prowess in utilizing this acting technique. Even Peter Jackson for sure would be interested to direct him at some time. (King Kong) What a unique alternative/equivalent to Nicholson’s eyebrows.

I’d cast none other than the Edward Norton to play me! The wide range of roles he has played, from Primal Fear, American History X (my fave), Fight Club, all the way to Keeping the Faith (where he was a priest!) have prepared him to tackle the many personalities that make me up.

Besides, nobody can brood like he does!

Jean-Pierre LÃ©aud circa 1960s. Or Louis Garrel.

I’d like to think my life is like The Dreamers by Bertolucci or a Godard film, where the leads are trÃ¨s hot.

I am a reserved person and communicate with looks and expressions a good part of the time and I can be quite brooding too. You can depend on me though to say the one-liner at the right time in the story. But still my biopic may still be an imposition on other peopleâ€™s attention span. An MMK exaggeration of my biopic is not an option, so casting is crucial in justifying my biopic for the consumption of other people; even a Lav Diaz film is made to be seen. I am picking Colin Firth, because he does brooding well, or Matthew McFadyen who played Darcy in the recent version of â€œPride and Prejudice.â€ Wait, theyâ€™ve both played Darcy. They are brooding but charming. I donâ€™t want to come off as a Heathcliff. So thereâ€¦

Zooey Deschanel because she’s awkward and I’m awkward.

Winona Ryder, for her (once) pixie haircut and her penchant for getting into trouble.

That’s a very interesting question, Ms. Zafra, and I do believe that as a homosexual…

Rustom Padilla would have been too parlor-esque, too trying hard, and altogether too redundant. I would love to have Pink play me because she projects the right kind of punk, but she’s too short, and she’s got breasts. I will never cast Eric Quizon to play me because he’s far too closeted for my taste. Maybe the gay icon Melanie Marquez for the long legged legs?

I want to be played by Eddie Gil, because the thought of him in drag is just way too funny for words. I don’t cross dress or wear make up, but I will make him. And all his lines will start with “BAKLAH KAH!” Or “MGA BAKLAH KAYOH!”

He will be speech trained by my friends for modulation and pronunciation.

In the event that my life becomes interesting (heh) in the next decade or so, I’m already drafting Anna Maria Perez de Tagle (of Fame, Hannah Montana, and various other Disney productions – not to mention, Sylvia La Torre’s granddaughter) to play yours truly. She’s already being typecast as the spoiled, hyperactive Asian girl in many teen movies, so it wouldn’t be much of a a stretch for her to play a hyperactive, well-traveled Pinay with a shameless addiction to karaoke. Granted, she’s not exactly Meryl Streep, and she will really need to work on her Tagalog… but that can be easily cured with a dialect coach and some Method-style immersion, which will inevitably include palengke shopping and watching back-to-back airings of noontime shows.

I’m already envisioning the movie as a comedy; the script can be summed up as “Adaptation meets Kakabakaba Ka Ba?” Leading man/ love interest na lang ang kulang, although I can totally imagine Aga Muhlach as himself in a fantasy sequence.

None other than myself, it’s big budgeted anyway so I might as well cast myself and be famous or infamous, who cares! Brad Pitt is not really an exquisite choice. If not, I would have wanted Papa Piolo. I can’t think of any reason except that I love him so much and who wouldn’t want to be portrayed as lovely as this guy?

Will this get my hands already on the gorgeous TinTin copy??? thank you in advance :-)

Kate Winslet. Not only is she considered as one of the better actors, but I also have a striking resemblance with her. As my life story involves romantic entanglements and ‘dangerous liaisons’ I envisage that the movie will feature realistic love scenes and heavy drama, I know she would do justice to the role. Kate is able to deliver terrific performances even if the role requires her to bare skin.
