I seriously hope north spends his life savings to make this piece of shit because this piece of shit will not make a plug nickel. hey max, make sure you do some research on what a scumbag nort is before embarrassing yourself by associating with the moron. and to see what a no talent he is, look at his career after he burned his partner jiggs and went solo. his career after that breakup has been one giant suckfest for your conquering hero. make sure mikey pays you in cash for the script, if you are dumb enough to go thru with it. he will try and pawn off some lakefront property in park ridge to you :lol:


Suntimes blurb from zwecker:

MIKE, THE MOVIE? Sounds like the roller coaster, rags-to-riches life of Our Town’s own Mike North could end up on the big screen. The life and times of the hot-dog-stand-owner-turned-radio-and-TV personality has captured the interest of well-known writer Max Allen Collins.

In a chat with the Iowa-based Collins this week, I learned he and North have had a number of serious meetings, as the Road to Perdition author contemplates the kind of screenplay he’d like to write. “I think Mike’s incredible life would make a fascinating film,” said Collins. “I see it having a similar feel to Sandra Bullock’s ‘The Blind Side.’

“Mike has had a very Horatio Alger kind of life. . . . He is such a vivid personality and isn’t afraid of sharing the tough times — including his battle with alcohol,” added Collins, clearly excited about the project.

I agree. The only difference being, Bullock invited the brother into her house. North took down the rims to keep him out of his park.

Max Collins used to write (maybe still does) the Dick Tracy comic strip. From Mumbles & Flattop to SpaceBall & Knuckles.

The ego has not been a fed in awhile, it is very very hungry.

I think many people meet Mike North for the first time and are amused by his personality at first, as most, or all, of the people they know have a real profession and his gig is basically being a clown. Which then turns to thoughts of "you gotta meet this guy" because as you get on in year, nobody you know is still such a goofball and if they are they are selling water bottles at an off ramp.

Quickly after the first meeting the gimmick wears off and you realize it is a guy you want nothing to do with.

You should play him, noisy. Unless, of course, you are old money.
