Another Hollywood Hemingway Film?

Sean Penn in All the King's Men

One more big Hollywood picture could feature Hemingway.

The latest is a biopic on the legendary editor Max Perkins, who helped shape the words of Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Thomas Wolfe. Word is, Sean Penn is in talks for the lead role in the film, called Genius.

“Who gets to be Hemingway?” asks Entertainment Weekly.

How about Philip Seymour Hoffman as Wolfe, Russell Crowe as Hemingway, and Brad Pitt as Fitzgerald? Or, if you want to go younger and funnier, Jack Black as Hemingway, Jonah Hill as Wolfe, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Fitzgerald? More testosterone? How about Sylvester Stallone as Hemingway, Bruce Willis as Wolfe, and Jason Statham as Fitzgerald?

We could do this all day…”

I say Brad Pitt as Hemingway, Leonardo DiCaprio as Fitzerald. You?
