Nikola Tesla
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Current_War Though this isn’t only about Tesla.
Queen of a British tribe that fought the Romans and won, for a while.
She’s had a few treatments, just none of them large production Hollywood blockbusters.
Roald Dahl
Writing Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory was after two other careers of epicness
Diogenes
Marcus Aurelius. Philosopher king, savior of Rome, and someone I had fun drawing.
John Brown.
While yes! I also am very pessimistic about Hollywood not giving him the treatment he deserves. Could be a bit too radical for profit.
Vlad III, more commonly known as Vlad the Impaler. It’s basically the story of Wallachia’s complicated relationships with all their neighbours. The real story is so much more interesting than “spooky vampire”.
Andrew Wakefield. He’s the guy who published a phony study that inspired the Anti-Vax movement. More people need to learn how this always has been a scam.
I recently listened to a podcast about Antonín Švehla. Politician from first Republic (1918-1939) and master of compromise, he was as important as Masaryk but now is mostly forgotten.
Yusuke, the black samurai.
This has Wu Tang written all over it
Emperor Norton of America
James J. Andrews and the great locomotive chase of the US Civil War.
How this hasn’t been made into a movie is beyond me.
Bill Blizzard. I really want to see a solid movie about The Battle of Blair Mountain
