Who will get biopics when I'm old and gray?

Going to see Walk the Line with my dad the other day got me thinking about what biopics of people from my generation I'll be seeing when I'm his age. I was born in 1973, so do you think someone like Gwyneth Paltrow or Fiona Apple will be getting a biopic in the future? Will the future be a biopic wasteland for my generation?

First in line: Lance Armstrong

It's sad that this is probably true:
Paris Hilton

I mean, am I wrong people?

A simple "yes" would have sufficed.

Kurt Cobain's life has biopic written all over it, especially the ending.

Mitch Hedberg.

I like the Hedberg idea.
Kurt Cobain is probably likely, though I think it's already been done in TV versions.

John McCain will probably get a movie version of his life at some point;

Stephen Hawking
Christopher Reeve
Bill Gates
Steve Jobs
Steve Wozniak

And then, mostly psychos. Anyone who was a multi-murderer or just a really notorious one. I'm sure someone will have a movie about Raider (the BTK Killer), and that guy in Lenexa, KS who lured people over the internet and stuffed them into 50 gallon barrels after he killed them.

River Phoenix? Len Bias? I'm trying to think of others who died early.

Already done. See "Pirates of Silicon Valley", a TV Bio. Actually quite good, with Anthony Michael Hall as Gates and Noah Wylie as Jobs.
