7. Leni Riefenstahl
The idea of a film about the famous (or, I suppose, infamous) female director Leni Riefenstahl has been floating around for years, but obviously, one has never been made. For nearly a decade, Jodie Foster was fighting to get one into production, but that ultimately failed. Even Steven Soderbergh was close to directing the picture, but he ended up passing it up to make Contagion. Why does she deserve a biopic? Believe it or not, Riefenstahl was the Nazi party's own personal filmmaker. Hitler, a fan of her work, requested the woman to direct some documentaries for the party, and the two became good friends in the process. A few of her films are regarded as some of the best of all-time (her two-part documentary "Olympia" made Time's Top 100 Films list), and she's credited for many technical breakthroughs in cinema. So despite never really living down her connection to one of the most evil men this world has ever seen, her skills as a director are rarely disputed. A film about the one hundred and one year life of Ms. Riefenstahl would be something of an epic, and a talented director/actress pairing would most certainly have to be at the center. Hopefully it becomes a reality some day soon.
