In which we suggest who would star in the next big adaptation, remake, or historical film.
There is something instantly captivating about the life of the artist: the outsider, the genius, the person that frolics freely on the fringes of society and unfortunately, in many cases, the tortured soul that is no stranger to bouts of psychosis. The life of 19th-century Dutch painter, Vincent Van Gogh, is no exception.
