Will DiCaprio depict Brian Boru, in the upcoming Movie?

Brian Boru lived into his 80s, did he not, and DiCaprio is 32. I would have loved to see Richard Harris play him.

Now there is a man who could have captured the heart of Boru

[beardyboy]

He did indeed, had reached quite an age before he was slaughtered. I reckon Brendan Gleeson of Colm Meaney would have done a good job as well especially since most of Bóruimhe's high deeds were done when he was middle-aged. Frankly, I know Di Caprio will make Bóruimhe sound like he was from County Antrim given his performance as a supposed kerryman in Gangs of New York.

Now what part of Antrim would that be?

[Riadach]

Belfast to be honest. No local country colour, just plain infuriating nasal belfastese.

[Twin Towers]

You could play him yourself Riadach or direct the movie. You would have the knowledge of that period to serve up something authentic.

[Riadach]

Sure that's what I was hinting at

The chainsaw dialect? perhaps - what is really odd is that the character was supposedly raised in an orphanage so if de caprio was to play in character he would have had a Noo Yoik accent more like his rival Bill The Butcher

[Riadach]

A much more preferable situation. We have plenty of rough and tumble actors that can play this role, we don't need di caprio. I think he would be completely unsuited, just as Mr Farrell was to the role of Alexander. We need someone with a bit of an edge.

I don't really think DiCaprio is suitable for this role.In my view either Robert Carlyle or Russell Crowe would be more suitable actors for this part.

Arms like tree trunks, a fiery shock of red hair, name of homer!

i would vote for Brendan Gleeson, but as a poster said earlier, it needs a worldwide actor to recoup foreign investors money, so as long as its not Orlando Bloom, im happy

Liam Neeson then. And if anyone is interested, a propaganda account, cogadh gaedhel re galliabh, from the 12th century is available online at www.ucc.ie/celt.
