I don't think many people would Identify with a biopic character that has no connection with real people or even reality. I have little room for contrived stories because film and television has done such a good job portraying flawed people such as Larry Flint, Kurt Cobain, Hunter S Thompson, Steve Jobs, Johnny Rotten, and a near endless list of of others tormented by the human condition. If over the top behavior and psychodrama was the objective then Real Housewives would have sufficed. Frankly I don't care who the actors are, stories are all about people; there is nobody to identify with here.
