I agree with Steve McQueen widow. Daniel should play the role of Steve McQueen.

Thanks for the heads up, Shaylin. You are right, he would have been perfect, but I have a gut feeling, he wasn´t all that interested plus, its true, good ole Brad still has more bankibility and Steve is a american institution, so they would likely go with an american. Outside the US, I don´t think many still care or even know him.

Maybe you care to introduce yourself here to give us the chance for a propper welcome

That's true. I guess it wouldn't be the right for him. Of course Dan looks a lot like Steve, but the problems GG named are unfortunalety true. It's the same with the Oscars. Outlandish actors have a harder way to get one mostly.

Brad Pitt just isn't in the same mould as Daniel and Steve. What a shame! What a huge disappointment! I would love to have seen Daniel portray Steve, they are so alike, two of a kind, to me he would have been the obvious choice.

Brad is going to have to pull something special out of the bag, to make this work.

Two words: "box office".

And here's five words: "Brad Pitt is completely over-exposed", oh and three more "not that talented".

yes - yes - yes, but whether DC turned it down or wasn´t chosen, it might be for the best in the end. He might have turned so much into Steve, that the audiences either would see Bond or McQueen in him and he would have drowned in those clichées - maybe...

plus the effect that McQueen, who was a great actor for sure, isn't that popular in Europe. Only the people round about 50 or older may remember him, his movies aren't on TV in Europe that often, so I really doubt that it will be a great box-office success here (in US it will be totally different, but there Stevte is kind of national treasure, not so in Europe)
