So I estimate that there is an approximately 0.0% chance that Hollywood is NOT going to make this into a movie, this shit literally writes itself.
So then, who do you think will play the roles in the upcoming Darknet/Silkroad movie? Bonus points: What will the movie be called?
Here are my votes:
Ross Ulbricht: Topher Grace, maybe Thomas Brodie-Sangster (from G.O.T.)
Shaun Bridges: Gotta go with Edward Norton on this one
Carl Mark Force IV: I know it's a stretch, but I am really feeling Tom Hardy on this one
Judge Katherine Forrest This one is a toughie, I'm thinking maybe Kristin Wiig? Also possibly Greta Van Susterin in her acting debut...
Josh Dratel: Too easy on this one, total shoo-in for Xander Berkely (played Percy on Nikita)
Cornelis Jan "SuperTrips" Slomp: Ewan McGregor
Thomas Jirikovsky: Just a cameo role for a prologue, but I have to get Jonah Hill in this movie somehow
Julia Tourianski: I have decided that in the screenplay, Julia Tourianski is Ross Ulbricht's girlfriend. I base this on the fact that she did a Youtube video during his trial in support of him, and online articles reference a "Julia" that Ross was dating from OK Cupid from the journal on his captured laptop. This is enough evidence for me, as many prosecutions have been based on more tenuous evidence.
Plus, this gives me an opportunity to cast Scarlet Johansen as Ross' love interest. Yes, please and thank you!!
Discuss!
Robert Pattinson as Ross Ulbricht is a shoe-in.
