I'm really looking forward to this bio-pic about Bobby Fisher which focuses on his monumental match with Boris Spassky in Iceland.

Me too...good cast, and a natural of a story for the big screen. Should be great.

It is the "Miracle" of the chess world. Should be good.

Wait . . . Bobby Fisher was Spiderman?

(Come to think of it, I never did see a picture of the two of them together.)

I think an even more interesting biopic would be about his life afterwards...

The horror. The horror.
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.--Yeats

I read a short article somewhere that said it really focuses more on his mental state than his chess. Should be a great movie though.

That would be a tough one to script, considering who he spent most of his later life railing against, and the phrases he used to rail against them! Smile

I always thought the the book, "Bobby Fischer vs. the Rest of the World" by Brad Darrach, which centers on events leading up to and including the '72 match, would have made a GREAT movie. If you haven't read it - READ IT!
