That picture of him is from The Master where he played Hoffman's son.

He was so good in Breaking Bad that he may very well be the proverbial "next" PSH. I know I am looking forward to what he does in the future.

of course, barring Lifetime there probably will not be a bio pic any time soon.

A la his "The Doors" concept, but instead applied to an actor's life and death.

That does not bode well for a biopic. They know they've seen him in movies, they just don't know him. Unless he becomes like James Dean (bigger in death than he was in life), I don't see it happening.

But by then the movie would be more reflective of the intervening mythos, which is something that Stone would be happy to include in the story line.

We've seen this happen with Princess Di, but it's taken almost 20 years after her death to do a big budget bio pic.

Results will vary, I suppose.
