I really like Angelina Jolie's acting but I don't see her as Monroe. Perhaps they will prove me wrong.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
Clooney would make a great Sinatra. he has the charisma and acting chops to get it done.
Jolie as Monroe is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.
Might as well ask a praying mantis to be a teddy bear.

I'd prefer in the future you write it as "ask a tiger to be a teddy bear" as a nod to her role in Kung Fu Panda.

Dear God, I thought the premise of Battleship was stupid this takes the cake!
Did they say if it was animated? This feels like it could be an animated flick....
In which case, the choice of actor can be excusable as modern-day 'models' for scanning into 3D and alteration. Like Jolie was in Beowulf.

Maybe it's just me, but Clooney looks a little more like Sinatra than Foxx does.

I'm going to agree with the Goat on this one. I'm not a big fan of Jolie, and she really does not exude Monroe.|

Also, 'acting' does often include more than 'looking like a person.'

Interesting idea for a flick, especially if they stick with the "told through the dog's eyes" angle.

I'd like Phil Hartman to come back and play Sinatra.

I like what they said about Hartman's impersonation of Sinatra: He was horrible at impersonating the actual person, but was great at impersonating and lampooning Sinatra's image.

The book, by Andrew O'Hagan and set for release this December, serves as a biopic of Monroe, told through the eyes of her Scottish maltese poodle, Mafia Honey (nicknamed Maf), given to her as a present by Sinatra.
O'Hagan announced the news at the Edinburgh International Book Festival. It is unknown if a director is currently attached.
