George Floyd The Movie


not some tv movie but a proper film with proper director etc

who as who ..?

few years ago GF wouldve been EASY casting: Michael Clark Duncan.. but hes sadly gone... he wouldve been so perfect i just cant think of another actor as George Floyd right now :(maybe the Rampage guy who played BA in The A Team movie?)

Officer Derek Chauvin - someone who can do really creepy/sinister like Josh Lucas or even Christian Bale (along the lines of his Harsh Times character)

the plot would be like following both characters throughout their adults lives (Floyd would be portrayed like a petty criminal with a heart of gold type. Chauvin all sinister, cold, showing violent tendencies that would pre-empt that fateful day) occasionally they come close to encountering each other but dont (for example i read they both worked at the same Minneapolis nightclub at the same time but theres no evidence to suggest they met - but that could be a subplot i guess maybe they could kind of almost meet/just pass each other or maybe even look at each other but neither is sure why in a premonition type thing - that would be a big scene) their stories would be intertwined in that prequel way and almost mirrored (same ages): until they fatefully meet on that day - the whole film would have that fate/destiny thing running through it like the Titanic and the iceberg type thing (the film would be reminiscent of the Thomas Hardy poem: "The Convergence of the Twain" actually it could be called something like 'Convergence')

George Floyd was known for stealing from the rich and gave it to the poor. A Negro Robin Hood with visionary leadership skills and love for children. A great supporter for Israel and mistreated by blue eyed WASPs. He was an asset to the community and did so much good that his legacy will live on for centuries.

Jennifer Aniston was among the many stars who came forth to demand justice for George Floyd - an African-American who died after a white police officer pinned his neck to the ground under his knee.

The Friends alum urged her followers to sign a petition to ensure the end to racial-based violence in the US, in a long post she penned in tribute to Floyd, whom she loved, calling for the arrest of all white officers behind Floyd's gruesome murder.

Jen wrote, "This week has been heartbreaking for so many reasons. We need to acknowledge that the racism and brutality by whites in this country has been going on for a long time - and it’s NEVER been okay. As allies, who want equality and peace, it’s our responsibility to make noise, to demand justice, to educate ourselves on these issues, and more than anything, to spread love."
