A neat idea for GM's 100th Anniversary.


I thought about this the other day while I was jogging..

Lets say that a major motion picture studio was going to make a movie about General Motors, which actors would you get to play some of the major figures in GM history?


Have fun with it.

Ok...but what would it be about? What would be the plot?
Just about how GM made it to the top, and its downfall? Sad to say, the only movie that would come about would be a negitive movie if anything. It would be much like that HBO movie about the M2 Bradley, the hoops and rings it had to go through, the problems and conflicts it had faced. It was good, but I think we would get something like Thank You for Smoking or Fast Food Nation, a negitive outlook.

The head of payroll would be a great part for "Ebenezer Scrooge".......

 

[MCGARRETT]

Since it's not for real, the plot is secondary, I was just brainstorming about which actors would play roles like Harley Earl or Alfred P Sloan for example..



I came about the idea thinking about how Roger Smith an Ned Beatty kind of look alike.

 

[civilzues]

Tom Cruise as Roger Smith!

It would a drama about GM's struggle to get the Pontiac Aztec from concept to production, and how the Aztec rocked the automotive world despite the words of naysayers and pessimists.

John DeLorean would be interesting

As well as Buick's fall from offering semi-luxury performance cars down to granny boats

Lutz running his mouth and Wagoner being like "lol wut? oh yeah don't listen to him, he doesn't know what he's talking about"

 

[FenwickHockey65]

Hahah. I wonder who could play Lutz...

 

[genjy]

Hahah. I wonder who could play Lutz...

Leslie Nielsen, of course.

Imagine a ranting lunatic with Nielsen's goofiness.

Good call.

The LOL LUTZ Pear should play the role of Bob Lutz.

The UAW would be a perfect match for Scrooge.

Don't for get Transformers

 

[BigAls87Z28]

Lutz? Jack Nickolson? Not tall enough...
Young John Delorean: Christian Bale
You would have to get two really tall people to play Rick and Lutz.
Dryfus as Zora? Jesus man...
Ed Welburn: Jamie Foxx, but Welburn is short, Foxx is tall....

 

[BrickTamland]

Michael Douglas - Kirk Kerkorian

You need Douglas the elder for that part. I thinks the two Kirks are the same age.

 

[New_Mexico_Sunset_on_Rt66]

Lee Marvin to play Bob Lutz.
