Johnny Depp - he is a big enough star that he could get the movie made
Unknown (read: inexpensive) - if the script is strong - someone might take a chance producing it and if the performances are strong then it would probably make money.

| | | | One of my buddies knew a guy who saw Jaco toward the end there, when he wasn't doing too good, he had a basketball that he would bring with him, dribbling, and he recollected watching Jaco walk off into the night dribbling his basketball... true story.

He looks like Jaco!!! | A few months ago, i was reading the Bill Milkowski biography, and a man asked me who i was reading about... after he saw a few pictures, the guy told me EXACTLY that.
Jaco looks just like James Franko from Pineapple Express. |

(Sadly that requires an actor/musician like Keanu or such) For those that don't know Stu Ungar, he was the "Jaco" of Poker: Best at what he did, and dead at 35 under suspicious circumstances from a life of excess. |

one problem tho.. how is james franco gonna learn to play bass like jaco?? i mean it's easy enough for jamie foxx to learn some piano and then they can do the close in on the hands part for the complicated stuff.. that could be trickier with a bass.. Quote:

Technology today, they can definitely have a "stunt bass" in there playing Jaco's lines. Have the stunt bass play and do motions, then paint Franco's face overtop his. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fogWpauaqZE
Check that, good example. They painted Gene Kelly's face over top David Elsewhere and like 3 other dancers' bodies.
