The producers behind the recent critically-acclaimed biopic Ray are taking on Thornton Melon himself, Rodney Dangerfield. Producers Howard and Karen Baldwin think Dangerfield's life will get the respect it deserves as a movie. I wonder if the making of Caddyshack, the movie Dangerfield is most closely associated with, will be covered like the makers of Man on the Moon did with Andy Kaufman's making of Taxi? Opens the door to all kinds of possiblities as far as casting, not only Dangerfield himself but also finding actors to play Chevy Chase, Bill Murray and others. But where will they find a stuntman who can do the Triple Lindy for the Back to School scenes?

Like most biopics they will probably make the film end where his stand-up success begins, at 40 or so. More focus will be put on the time he spent getting a family, perfecting his act and selling aluminum siding.

I bet they do not go into Rodney's involvement with Andy Kaufman or how he really didn't die in May of 84.
