    Yeah Billy Bright mush to play Buncey, great call Ero. Even if it took the legendary Bill to make sense of it all.

    Dean Powell to be played by Michael Chiklis. Obviously carrying a bit more timber but could be Dean is comfort eating when the March 16th show falls through and gains weight very quick.

    Seth Rogan to be Fat Dan. Just give him the Rafael diet plan. One week and he'd be 17 stone.

    Everyone seems to be focusing on the casting so what do we do for the plot?

    I'm thinking we base this on The Wire. Frank & Dean are the long established Barksdale & Stringer type characters, Bunce & Lillis are his enforcers & George & Francis are running a crew on a corner.

    Along comes the new kid on the block, Marlo/Eddie Hearn & general conflict ensues.

    Fat Dan can be a Prop Joe/eastside kind of character, along with golden boy/ top rank they run the co-op & get that good **** straight of the boat/HBO.

    We could base the plot on the story from Season 1 of The Sopranos.

    Power-struggle for control between the young, smart and respected guy against the nutty, old-school and universally disliked old man.

    In the end the young guy wins and the old man is left with almost nothing, left to ponder his past mistakes and his failure to move with the times.

    Couldn't have written a better list myself. Can't stand any of them. I find the success of Bishop mind boggling. And as for the rosey-cheeked public schoolboy 'shenanigans' of Whitehall.... right gettin pent up so will stop there. Here's the rival for Adam Smith's part if only the film was shot a few years back

    If only Frank had a hot daughter (obviously step daughter) and she wanted to join Matchroom in more ways then one. Eddie dabbling with Frank's daughter with the Essex charm. Frank sends the boys George and Francis to destroy him.

    Dumb and Dumber: Chasing Fast Eddie.

    Look, look, look.

    I've already written the plot earlier. Nick Love to direct (we'll deffo' get Frank Harper in it now, and Danny Dyer as Eddie Hearn probably) and there will be shootouts and car chases and Cockneyisms.

    Everything in between? Frank putting Mark Burdis and Wazza Jr's lads on a mission to go after Mitchell's skunk farm, and Wazza juggling that with dealing with Eddie who's trying to take Frank's top boys away. Dean as Bib Fortunaz and the last scene is where Ricky, Bellew (played by Jimmy Corkhill) and Eddie break Clev' out.

    Eddie then does a Steve McQueen but on a BMX.

    Or you could do Reservoir Dogs with the main characters (Frank as Mr. White, Ricky Burns as Mr.Orange, Buncey as Nice Guy Eddie, Clev' as Mr.Blonde, Burdis as Mr. Pink) and have the briefcase containing contracts (printed emails) proving that the Vasquez fight was signed and Hopkins turned down a large sum (75 British pounds) to fight Clev'.
