Hi, i have got 2 questions.
1- What chess movie can you recommend me to watch ?
2- What movies would you like to see chess related? My would be Biopic of Kasparov.
Pawn sacrifice I enjoyed, it's with that spiderman dude.
I wasn't impressed with Toby Maguire. Or the movie. But I'm selfish I wanted a 4 hour biography.
I hav excellent chess movie idea if anyone wants to act in it for free until after we make $400 total sales and split the $60 profit.
Need 3 actors to represent 3 different ages of character. A few to play Soviet police. The Police chief. A few to be prisoners. 5 to 8 to be opponents. 8 to 14 other villagers and background actors.
Anyone with 1940s Soviet vehicles and police clothing that would be great. Oh and a gulag. Lol
To be serious though if it grossed $20million we give $1million for struggling chess clubs worldwide, $2million for improved prize $ for tournaments at sub 2000 ratings U20 to help people live their chess dreams by actually affording the travel costs. Hell in perfect world we profit 30million and give 4million extra to help pay for player accommodations for lower income players.
I know there are smart people here at lichess that can make it happen. I got dibs on playing grandfather who teaches chess to protagonist.
and I'll be the old geezer in the park who gives him a few tips & tricks.
I enjoyed Queen of Katwe,Pawn Sacrifice, Life of a King.
These days, the difference between a movie and a television show is smaller than ever. So I'll suggest The Queen's Gambit.
Searching for Bobby Fischer is an excellent movie. Watched Pawn Sacrifice in the theater. The kid from Cider House Rules is an amazing actor, but in no way resembles Fischer.
Check out Game Over if you want Kasparov. Joel Benjamin should write a book like OJ Simpson, If I did it... ;)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9UMt-8gfW8World Champion (Chempion Mira in russian) is a karpov-korchnoi match themed movie.. but sadly i can't get to watch it with english subs..
Interesting that that film was made in Russia.
