Two Movies Being Made About Timothy Leary

Before you say OMG THIS WAS POSTED IN SHROOMERY NEWS SERVICE - I know. I just don't think the discussion that topic deserves will necessarily go forth and multiply in SNS.

The race for the Timothy Leary biopic
March 29, 2006 - insideeonline.com

The race has begun between Hollywood heavyweights to see who can produce a Timothy Leary biopic first.

Leonardo DiCaprio's production company, Appian Way, is said to be working on a project about the LSD-dropping former Harvard prof who became a popular advocate of the experimental '60s.

DiCaprio's version could have the upper hand as his father, George, was a good friend of Leary's. The psychedelic professor was godfather to Winona Ryder and best buds with her father, Michael Horowitz ? who was also Leary's archivist and has just signed on as creative consultant for the DiCaprio project.

The competition stems from director Darren Aronofsky (whose Oscar-winning girlfriend, Rachel Weisz, is pregnant with his child), who is also said to be working on a Leary-inspired film. Aronofsky's past work includes the sci-fi thriller 'Pi' and the drug-themed 'Requiem for a Dream.'




I would trust Aronofsky's FAR more than DiCaprio's for the very reasons they say it would have the upper hand. It would be too pro-Leary for my tastes. I can already envision a film that portrays him in some sort of messianic aspect.

I think Aronofsky would do a much better job of taking an objective stance and producing a really gutteral film moreso than a "biopic."

I've been waiting for Afronsky's third movie for a long time now. No matter whats its about, it will be great.
This topic sounds right up his alley, though.

Leary lived a fascinating life that would make a really interesting movie but I really doubt Hollywood will do it any justice. I'd almost rather they not bother.

Yeah, I think they are going to portray him as a hippy with a distorted sense of reality or something like that.

Sure he had somewhat of a distorted sense of reality but I think they are going to over play that fact. But I would sitll pay money to see it.
