Now that Chris-Chan's story is coming to a conclusion, who/what should be in the movie about his life?

I’m gonna suggest an avant-garde route and say every woman, (or at least every gal pal,) should be played by the same actor to lean into their interchangeability to Chris. Naturally, this culminates in post-transition Chris looking in the mirror and seeing the same image
This thread is exceptional but I nominate Tommy Wiseau to play Sonichu.
“I used to know a potential sweetheart, had a dozen brute males; one of them found out about it; beat her up so bad she ended up in a soup hotel on Geurrero Steet”

I think a CGI vaguely feminine blob with no face would do the trick even better.

The movie HAS to be directed by Tommy Wiseau.

Think about it logically: Chris is funny. The way he talks is funny; his artwork is funny; the way he picks up girls is funny; the life lessons he gives to kids are funny; the way he responds to harassment is funny; the way he gets conned out of thousands of dollars is funny; his psychotic breakdown is funny. Literally everything about him is funny.

So the only way you can have a good movie about him, is if it's a funny movie by a funny director.
 
The rise and fall, start early life but cut out a lot of filler and just have a narration to sum up, end with Chris in prison and some text when he gets out or whatever with Geno's Chris Chan theme playing then play the infamous "and I just son clip" My pick would be:

Directed by David Lynch
Kevin Farley as Chris
Tom Hanks as Bob
Melissa McCarthy as Barb

Agree with the casting, except for Tom Hanks. That'd just be the obligatory celebrity and wouldn't be a good fit for Bob.
 
I have a couple of ideas for the supporting cast

Anne Hathaway or Zooey Deschanel as Megan
Robert De Niro as Michael Snyder
Dane DeHaan or Shia LeBoeuf as Liquid Chris

EXT ROOFTOP: DAY
(Chris storms out of his room, stomping his feet.)
Chris
I fucked her! I was cleansing her!

Chris notices Null in that moment.

Chris

Oh, hi, Null

Null
(smoking pot)
Oh, hey Chris.
 
i just need Patton Oswalt to shave everything, do some coke, and recreate the making of 'flying elephants'.

no cuts, just 3 hours of moving the camera, checking frame, filming, stopping for a 'kid cuisine' nuggy lunch, moving the camera, putting a robe on to go buy cat food, checking frame, filming, stopping for fanta... "i'mma woodpecker!"
 
My dream movie would be a surreal psychological horror comedy. Chris would be played by a really handsome actor, though it wouldn't necessarily need to be anyone famous. The story would be a retelling of Chris' life as he sees it, but there'd be little things here and there that are off to signal the audience that Chris is an unreliable narrator, like having a mirror in the background show his actual fat manchild appearance. Through the story Chris would be accompanied by a CGI Sonichu that only he can see that whispers terrible advice in his ear. Ideally he'd be voiced by Roger Craig Smith for bonus autist points.
