Casey Anthony Movie

Will You Watch the Casey Anthony Movie?
Who will play Casey Anthony in the Casey Anthony movie? Will you watch it?
No one knows when the Casey Anthony movie will be made, or whether it will be made at all, but one thing is for certain - there hasn't been this kind of media sensationalism over a child's death since the JonBenet Ramsey case.
Directors, writers, movie producers and actors see dollar signs and contracts when there's a high-profile crime committed against a child. Worse, the families of these children profit from the crimes (could you place a dollar amount on your child's life?)
Can the Story be Told Accurately?
Could you tell the entire Casey Anthony story if you were given 2 hours and a camera? It's highly doubtful.
Let's recap:
There's an imaginary babysitter, a bounty hunter in a cowboy hat, cadaver dogs in the Anthony's back yard, pictures of Casey Anthony partying while her daughter is missing, and bounced checks stolen from friends and an elderly grandfather.
Protesters flood the sidewalks of Hopespring Drive daily, holding signs that read 'baby killer', throwing rocks, and scrapping with the Anthony's.
Then, there's Cindy Anthony, the mother of Casey Anthony, who hammers no trespassing signs into her lawn daily.
Cindy's husband, George Anthony, claims that he is 'watching' the 'people' who took his grandaughter - but he fails to mention who these 'people' are. Months later, George Anthony attempts to commit suicide in a hotel.
Let's not forget the media - parked across the street from the Anthony home - running a live webcam feed 24 hours a day. How do you even begin to tell this story?
Movies = Profit
Casey Anthony's movie would not be the first of its kind. While there hasn't been a movie made about Casey Anthony's life - thus far, many parents of slain children (some who have even been suspected of involvement in the death of their child) have sold their stories to Hollywood.
Take, for example, John Mark Beyers, the stepfather of Christopher Beyers, a child murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas, in 1993. Brad Pitt is among those being considered to portray Byers in a movie about murder and injustice, focusing on the incarceration of the West Memphis 3.
If and when a movie about Casey Anthony is made, will you watch it? Who should receive the profits from the Casey Anthony movie? A missing children's fund? The Anthony family? What say you?

Bingo - IF this story ever finds the truth. I just don't see it happening. I see more twists and turns coming (bogus bombshells, as usual) and an ending too simple to absorb - Casey Anthony killed Caylee Anthonyr because she felt like it.
I agree. We've all been mesmerized (or used to be, at least) waiting with bated breath for every next bombshell and yep, all the bombshells haven't amounted to an ounce of story or motive beyond what you just said: Casey Anthony killed Calyee Anthony because she felt like it.
I personally would watch it...IF it brought money in for a "Trust" to help children of abuse and help parents of missing children, to be able to pay for (legal) investigators...not rip-offs to work the field.
I wonder, even if Casey Anthony did confess, would she have to sell her story? I mean, if it's a true account of events, anyone can tell it, right? I'm not really sure how that works. The example I gave above, with WM3, is similiar in that it's an unsolved case (in my opinion) at this time. So I guess film people decided to 'buy' stories from the people involved.
Makes you wonder who profits from these crimes when films are made...
I think there will be a story but I don't think we will ever know what happened to caylee.. think about it she doesn't know how not to lie and I don't even think she even knows what is true any more.. I believe she acted like she wanted to be a mother because her mother wanted her to live out her mistake. Then when caylee got all the attention from her mother she used that to her advantages until it got to be too much then when she met someone caylee was always in the way because she met someone else and always complained that she couldn't go out cause she didn't have a baby sitter and I think when casey and her mom got into she took it out on caylee blaming her for feeling trap and taking away the attention from her. I believed she snapped and killed her and then carried her body out and was going to bury her but then realize that they would find her so she just put in her trunk and left and came back a couple of days later and dragged her into the woods...
Bobby, I agree with you.
i know someone who was best friends with casey up until a month before caylee went missing....this story will be made into a tv movie because of all the media attention it has gotten....my pick for who would play casey is haley duff (if she dyed her hair) the resemblance is uncanny....my heart goes out to all those involved but my heart drops when i go over to the house where i know that casey has been and has spend the night...it is just unreal
i by no means feel sorry for casey, as she has made her bed, but the amount of protesters on the Anthony property especially those with the "baby killer" and "how could you kill a baby like me?" signs in toddlers' hands, is extremely unnecessary and insensitive to the family still grieving Caylee
this story may never be fully understood but i hope that one day casey's sick mind will grasp the severity of what she did...oh i'm sorry zanny did it my mistake....she needs to wake up because THERE IS NO ZANNY THE NANNY AND THIS IMAGINARY PERSON DID NOT TAKE CAYLEE...
i really used to believe that maybe a severe mental disorder played a role in Casey's web of lies and Caylees diappearance, like DID, dissociative identity disorder, in which things done by one personality are not remembered by another... this disorder stems from traumatic experiences that may have been suppressed
all i know is that my publix is the one that the anthonys first started passing signs out at....i live 2 minutes away from where the body was found .... i know someone who used to hang out in that same wooded area with Casey....
the connections and craziness surrounding the murder of a sweet innocent little girl is crazy.... here's to the hope that a crime like this will never happen again
Movie or not I hope the ending is death row
JUST SAD!!!!!!!!

It could be an awesome film if this story ever finds the truth; if there's another twist before or during this trial; such as Casey Anthony surprising the world by telling what happened to Caylee. If not, I don't see the point in watching an entire year of lies (and other 'bombshells') stuffed inside of two hours. This story, this child's story, needs a real ending -- in addition to Casey Anthony's conviction for her murder. There's no nanny and there's no dingo.
