yep, that's right :(

"(...) but to the point, during the interview there was a
quick bit of talk about Crowe preparing for a new movie
about the great one to be directed by Ron Howard."

-from billhicksonrykodisc.com

"Reports and rumors have been circulating about Russell
Crowe starring in a Bill Hicks movie. We can confirm that a
script is in development for a production company owned by
Mr. Crowe. Anything you've heard regarding director,
casting, filming schedule and release date is mostly
speculation and cannot be decided until a script is
substantially complete and the project is formally set up.
Further confirmed details will be announced once they are
known. Please note: this "biopic" film is not the
documentary already in production under the title American:
The Bill Hicks Story (which is currently planned for a
television broadcast and/or home video release sometime in
the latter half of 2009)."

true.

My name is Bill hicks, comedian of the Armies of the South,
General of the HBO special One Night Stand, loyal servant to
the true emporer, Lenny Bruce. Father to a murdered son,
husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in
this life or the next....

here's tom with the weather.

Alex Jones is really good friends with the sacred cow
productions people. I think they were friends too, cause
they all seemed to know each other.

Anyway, he announced this news at least in December

i don't think alex jones and bill hicks ever met, although
I'm not 100% certain

anyway, a movie could be good, at least to bring some
attention to the guy.

Box, he is really good friends with his producer, I forget
the guys name. They all were in the same cliq of friends.
I've listened to the show where and bill hicks old producer
talk like they were reminiscing of teenage years "Remember
that time you were at so and so's party ? "

Also he did some stuff for the sacred cow label, some videos
with Joe Rogan.

... yes, but personally the two of them, I mean.

I know about the connection with kevin booth, joe rogan and
doug stanhope, but I think this later Sacred Cow crew
developed after Hicks's death. Anyway, I read Booth's
biography of Hicks and there was no mention of Alex Jones
there. I think Bill simply died before Kevin and Alex met.
