Yeah, you got me - I published a very similar post last year regarding Ernest Hemingway's candidacy for a Capote-style feature movie, but wouldn't late singer-songwriter Elliott Smith be an IDEAL target for a Hollywood blockbuster (okay maybe not BLOCKBUSTER, but y'know...).
I mean, dude grew up in Texas, cut his teeth in grunge-saturated Seattle, had a penchant for melody on a par with the Beatles - yup, I said it - was a total strung out, alcoholic fuck up (I had college friends who accompanied him on tour and can confirm this sentiment), and died amid shady circumstances.
Listen to "I Didn't Understand" from the album X/O and TELL me he's not a genius. Get Ethan Hawke or someone like him to play lead actor. Done and done.
