I\’m looking forward to the new biopic of Howard Hughes. Hopefully there will be more truths told about him. Even though it has been written that he was not able to walk or that he had long hair and long finger nails or that he never returned to Las Vegas is that really true? I will agree that he had long hair down to his shoulders and his finger nails were from 1/4 to 3/8\”, but I don\’t agree with him not being able to walk or that he never returned to Las Vegas after leaving on November 20, 1970. The reason why is because I witnessed a photograph being taken of him in front of the Mint Hotel in Las vegas in March of 1971. Howard Hughes with Levar B. Myler, (a senior penthouse aide) to his left and John H. Meier, (his business manager who is better known for his involvement in Watergate) standing to his right. In the front passenger seat of the black Cadillac Limo that was park at the curb sat John M. Holmes Jr.,(another senior aide). Hopefully this photo will be found so the stories about Mr Hughes can be corrected. For more details on how I know can be found with a search search under Levar B. Myler.

First off I just want to say that this article is better then any other one I have read so far about this subject, so keep up the good work. Secondly, Rodie, he already wrote this script and the only reason he didn\’t get it made was of Scorsese\’s take on it and Scorsese having more credibility at the time.

I agree with Cory. Nolan and Leo DiCaprio clearly have a relationship now, and I\’d love to see DiCaprio reprise his brilliant portrayal. it\’s been a while, but if I remember correctly, most of THE AVIATOR took place in the \’20\’s. If this one takes place later, Leo will be aged a bit.

Yeah, I remember when Nolan was going to make this flick. Wasn\’t it after Insomnia and before The Prestige? Either way, I remember him saying in an interview that he was more proud of that script than any other he had written. At least at that time anyway.

What\’s the big challenge here? Too similar to Memento and Inception. If he wants to do biopic I\’d prefer to see him go into entirely unfamiliar territory like Julius Caesar and show us what he can do with that.

The Aviator is fucking brilliant – a true underrated gem. But there\’s enough stuff around for another look at Hughes, and I\’d be delighted if Nolan takes this on. Interesting that he had Carrey lined up. Wonder if he\’ll approach him again. Bale would be a reliable choice.

I hope this is true. \”The Aviator\”\’s treatment of hughes was like making a biopic about Superman and only concentrating on the quality of his reporting at the Daily Planet.

Woah, slow down Chris Nolan.

I guess that whole \”I only think about one film at a time\” schtick is over and done with, huh?

My usual reaction is that biopics are boring but I kinda feel like Nolan can do whatever he want and it will probably be awesome.

He should cast DiCaprio as Hughes.
