Watch this, shut up, go back to bed America, here is American Gladiators, here is 56 channels of it! Watch these pituitary retards bang their f*cking skulls together and congratulate you on the living in the land of freedom. Here you go America – you are free to do what well tell you! You are free to do what we tell you!”

Russell Crowe is considering starring as Bill Hicks in a biopic of the late, great US comic, according to Empire online. Crowe was due to star as a good Sheriff of Nottingham in Ridley Scott’s Nottingham, but that project has been delayed until at least spring by concerns over a possible actors’ strike and a likely deficit in the greenness of Sherwood forest’s leaves over the period in which the movie was initially due to be filmed.
New Zealand writer Mark Staufer is currently working on a draft script for a film about the life of Hicks, a controversial figure in the States who gained a huge cult following in the UK before his death from pancreatic cancer at the age of just 32.

BILL HICKS MOVIE NEWS
Reports and rumors have been circulating about Russell Crowe starring in a Bill Hicks movie. We can confirm that a script is in development for a production company owned by Mr. Crowe. Anything you’ve heard regarding director, casting, filming schedule and release date is mostly speculation and cannot be decided until a script is substantially complete and the project is formally set up. Further confirmed details will be announced once they are known. Please note: this “biopic” film is not the documentary already in production under the title American: The Bill Hicks Story (which is currently planned for a television broadcast and/or home video release sometime in the latter half of 2009).
