Elliott Smith biopic


If they ever make one, he should definitely be cast as Elliott. He would be perfect for it.

That's actually true. Only question is, can he sing? I think biopics are better when the actors actually do the singing themselves, like in Walk the Line.

Yes, agreed. I think I made this thread a few years ago, or commented on this topic also.

Now that Love & Mercy's out it's clear that he can sing. I think it would be a great casting choice and should happen now while his star is on the rise and, considering how different Smith's music is to the Beach Boys, it would really high-light his versatility.
