I think it'd be interesting. I mean Cash's life has all the Nolan narrative trademarks: Cash lost someone he loved (brother), a mental sickness (drug addiction), obsession over something (religion), and trying to redeem himself. I'm sure there are more trademarks but it just seems to click to me with Nolan directing and writing a Johnny Cash biopic. I would love to see one that chronicles from when he was a child to when he dies. And knowing Nolan, he would want things to be as real as possible so I bet he would actually have his actors sing live a la Les Miserables.

But what do you think?

Yeah, but that movie sucked. Jon Stewart said it best calling it "Ray with white people".
