Today is day 1 of my week of blogs and I'm going to plan a Movie of my life. (Presuming that I'm about to die and people have made a biopic about me with with actors of the current time (which is impossible))
This is originally a 10 day challenge, but I'm going to shrink and simplify it to 10 steps, here we go.
Step 1: The Basics
Tagline: From a Little Known Island, To a Widely Known Star
Rating: 12
Step 2: Soundtrack
My Soundtrack would feature music from 3 bands/artists; The Beatles, Robbie Williams and OKGO.
The opening sequence song would be Rock DJ by Robbie Williams and the closing credits would be Hello, Goodbye by The Beatles.
Step 3: The Synopsis
We travel throughout the life and times of award winning Actor and Broadcaster Mitch Hamer from his teens growing up on The Isle of Wight, all through his breakthrough and onto his glory days on prime time television. Prepare to dive into the depths and secrets of this national treasure with the help of celebrity friends, family and the man himself.
Step 4: Actors to Play Me
I've taken the liberty of choosing a different actor for each decade of my life from my teens up to my 70s:
Teenage me would be played by Theo Stevenson because he has that cheeky young vibe to him that I think suits me perfectly. Me in my 20s would be played by Rupert Grint (with dyed hair), I chose him because I feel we match personalities. 30 year old me would be played by one of my acting idols, James Corden followed quite unbelievably by a 40 your old me in the form of Hugh Jackman or David Walliams. In my 50s I'll be played by Colin Firth, followed by Bill Murray in my 60s, and Derek Jacobi in my 70s.
Step 5: An Actress for My Love Interest
Step 6: An Actor for My Best Friend
This is one that would make sense to have multiple actors, and I would probably go with people that that worked closely with each version of 'me' such as Ian McKellen (Derek Jacobi) and Mathew Horne (James Corden).
Step 7: Someone To Play My Enemy
From the top of my head, I don't really have an enemy. so I'll pick someone who is good at bad characters and just choose them. Tom Hiddleston comes to mind as does Ben Kingsley.
Step 8: The Parents
I would probably get George Clooney to play my dad and Julie Walters to play my mum. Easiest choices on this.
Step 9: The Siblings
My older brother would be played by Brad Pitt at some point, My sister would be played by Imogen Poots and my Younger brother by a chubby Jonah Hill.
Step 10: The Review
'Mitch Hamer: A Lifetime - ****
Mitch's Story is a touching biopic which really delves into his life in the entertainment industry and how he came to be there. It shows the obstacles he passed both before, during and leading out of working in TV which gives a real insight into the reality of this tough world of entertainment. The use of flashbacks and fast forward means that you only ever see the major points in his life and career meaning the boring bits are cut out leading to an enjoyable watch. The soundtrack provided by Mitch's favourite bands and artists gives the film a more personal watch which really helps to pull at the heartstrings of the viewer. Overall the film gave for an enjoyable watch with laugher and tears in equal measure and high and lows that are almost too much to want to watch. '
Thank you for giving this a read, feel free to tell me who you would get to play you in a film of your life.
Until Tomorrow,
Stay Happy,
Watch a film,
and goodbye,
Mitch xx
