NOW YOU CAN SOB IN PUBLIC! "Millions have seen the YouTube video of "Christian the Lion" reuniting in Africa with the two men who bought him from a high-end London department store in 1969. Sony Pictures aims to bring the story of Christian and the two men, John Rendall and Anthony 'Ace' Bourke, to the big screen."

I just hope they don't cast Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider to star in it.

I think they should put Gary Busey in this movie. He is the only human alive whose teeth can compete with Christians.

Are the two guys that owned Christian a gay couple? It doesn't really matter but I have notoriously bad gaydar and sometimes can't tell if men or gay or just British.

It's already been made. Maybe not in "grand" Hollywood fashion but there does exist a movie called "Christian the Lion". It has several things Hollywood will never be able to duplicate….the real George Adamson and the real lions as well as the real location.

I would also bet that none of the proceeds of a Hollywood would go toward George Adamson's foundations.

And no, John and Ace are not gay. They both had girlfriends at the time they bought Christian and are on record as saying that it took all four of them to take care of him.

Again, I am confusing being british with being gay. But James Bond is gay right? :)
