No we're on about Mr Nice aka Howard Marks, you should pick his autobiography (Mr Nice) up it's a really good read.

Yeh I shared your excitement about this when I first discovered! So much so that I immediatly got in touch with the casting director to try and get a role (as I used to be heavily involved in acting) regardless of how small.

Turns out most of it has already been shot, but I might be able to appear as an extra. Watch this space ......

That would be awesome, fingers crossed for you.

Any idea as to the release date? Can't find anything online as it's in 'pre-production'.
Did find a copy of the film's poster though, which made me chuckle.

Rhys Ifans Thinks Marijuana Should Be Legalized

Rhys Ifans thinks marijuana is a "beneficial herb" and should be legalized. The actor - who is currently filming "Mr. Nice," a biopic of notorious drug smuggler Howard Marks - can't understand why the narcotic is illegal, insisting it should be allowed under supervised use.

He said: "A lot of people like dope in Wales and Howard is its champion. The reason why he sold is because he thinks, and I agree, that it's a beneficial herb."

"I feel marijuana should be legalized. Not so that people get high all over the place, but so it can be controlled. Drugs have been legal longer than they have been illegal, and it's just hypocrisy to be able to sell alcohol to children while marijuana is illegal."

The "Notting Hill" star also claims he loves paying tax and doesn't mind how much he has to pay.

He added to Live magazine: "I pay a lot of taxes and I'm happy for the government to take as much as they want off me, just as long as it goes to the right people. It makes sense."

Earlier this year, Marijuana was re-classified as a class B drug in Rhys' native U.K., having been downgraded to class C in 2004.

Nicely nicely great spot Boner!

I read that book years ago and hope it does make a great film! Since "Howard" is being played by a Notting Hill Star, it sounds promising!!

Nice (no pun). I really enjoyed the book when I read it a couple of years ago...

I liked the Mr Nice book, so I am looking forward to the movie.

I read another book of his called "Senor Nice", and I did not like it nearly as much. The message throughout Senor Nice is that everything and everyone is Welsh, especially those things and people who are not Welsh.
