American Idol at the big screen?
According to Contactmusic.com Sir Anthony Hopkins wants to turn The American Idol TV hit into a movie and star as the show’s Simon Cowell.
Hopkins admits he and his family watch every week as they tune into the latest episode of the singing contest, and he would like the opportunity to play the sharp-tongued British judge on the big screen.
He tells MTV.com, “We watch American Idol. We are American Idol addicts.”
“Simon (is my favourite) because he’s so brutally honest. There’s no political correctness with him. He says it as it is.”
“And Cowell’s fellow judge, producer Randy Jackson, has already given the idea the thumbs up”.
He says, “I’m a huge Anthony Hopkins fan… Let’s do it!”
