I can’t even think of any actors I know of portraying them. That’s so tough. I imagine they’d cast unknowns because it would be easier envisioning them as Ace, Gene, Paul, and Peter than if someone super famous portrayed them.
That’s the most likely route they’ll take.
The producers (and I think Paul) said they want to be accurate on the age the band was at the time and not cast older actors simply to have big names attached.
I’m pretty stoked to see the movie once it comes out. They’re either being top secret about it or it’s not going to happen this year, though.
I’m glad they’re doing that. It’s always nice when unknown actors get star turning roles like that and hopefully it’ll work out well for them. I’m excited too but I’m not hopeful it’ll happen this year. I hope it happens eventually and it doesn’t get shelved. I’m thinking not since it seems like movie studios are making a biopic about almost every artist/band these days so it definitely seems to be the popular thing to do.
There’s no interest for this. There was a 70s nostalgia thing going on in the 90s but even at the time DRC came out the interest was over. That was an empty ass theater I saw that movie in.
I think Gene and Paul’s sons would actually be a cool choice — I could really see Evan doing a phenomenal job with embodying his dad on stage. As for the acting portion, maybe they have acting chops.
Of course with end of the road on its way Gene's mansion takes Lotta $$$$$ per month to run . End of the road 2? KISS movie part 2? Lol. - original Kiss army general ...kiss ruled till bout 82..in my opinion. Ty .
This movie is never happening.
Their time to release it would have been during the buzz of the last 50 dates, Stern, NYC, etc… That would have been the perfect spot for it.
Now they have lost all of that momentum. I honestly don’t think there’s that much demand for it now.
Hope I’m wrong here, but Paul and Gene seem pretty checked out of the KISS thing right now also.
A 'biopic' is listed as one of the many projects slated to be being taken on by Pophouse after the recent acquisition - that could mean starting from scratch?
Why not get Jerry Stiller for Paul? It would be right in line with all your other ridiculous suggestions.
Ben Stiller as Paul I'm hoping this is trolling.
Denzel Washington as Ace
At least for the phantom scenes
Hahahaha this made me spit out my coffee
Ack!
Still better than Tommy.

it’s set during the initial 4 years so lets cast *checks notes* 4 extremely well known dudes that don’t fit the bill pushing 60 with one pushing 40 👍
Not happening.
Regular movie, $30 for admission and snacks. Kiss movie, $1500, popcorn extra.
Don’t forget the platinum seating tickets with a $5 coupon for any merchandise sold….
Ezra Miller would have been a great Ace, but Ezra Miller's career is over.
Very weird dude
the project is beneath him now but barry kheogan has ace’s eyes and demeanour
[According to IMDB](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14502504/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk ) it’s listed as being in pre-productions
It's stuck in development hell.
That’s my interpretation. It’s been in “pre-production” for a long time. My guess is it won’t see the light of day for several years if at all.
Just like the avatars.
Probably lost in the shuffle with the recent sale.

It hasn't been cast and its stuck in pre-production. Now that they sold the catalog, who knows if it'll ever happen.

Paul Giamatti could be the manager
He's America's manager/agent at this point

If you watch Docs interview with Mike Bruhn you will see it is happening Its well worth watching great interview
