    HBO To Make Bonds Movie

    The film will be based on Game of Shadows: Barry Bonds, BALCO and the Steroids Scandal That Rocked Professional Sports, the book penned by Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams. The authors broke many stories in the San Francisco Chronicle about the nutrition company accused of distributing illegal steroids to athletes, including Bonds, Yankees slugger Jason Giambi and disgraced Olympic gold-medal-winning sprinter Marion Jones.

    No word yet on who will play Bonds in the film    .
    HBO makes great movies and series but the real question is who do you think will play Bonds?

    Ving Rhames and Micheal Clark Duncan are my choices

    Michael Clark Duncan's head isn't big enough to play Bonds*.

    Let's just hope Jon Dowd isn't going to play him again. I am sorry, I just didn't buy his representation of Bonds being a bearded white guy and all.

    Haha, I miss that game. Good memories.

    How about we give Wesley Snipes some roids and let him go through his cycles while they film. Watch as he gradually grows from muscular to the extreme.

    Either Ving Rhames or Michael Clarke Duncan would be just fine to play Bonds. Not sure of their baseball backgrounds, but both look the part.

    With Samuel L. Jackson as Bobby Bonds. Hollywood can't survive without putting Jackson in every movie.

    Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel, suggesting three titles for HBO's movie on Barry Bonds's steroid use:

    1. The Lyin' King
    2. Swindler's List
    3. Honey, Will You Shrink My Head?

    I will not be watching that. Have absolutely no interest in him or a movie about him.
