The Heene family falsely told authorities that their 6-year-old son Falcon was trapped in a mylar balloon, flying high above Colorado. Now, the parents of three are in custody for the hoax -- and their story is ripe for a made-for-TV movie in the future.
We've decided to cast the family -- and other important characters -- for the yet-to-be announced film. See who we want to star in the drama.

Please no movie of this fiasco.
That is why Heenes did this.
It was a stupid stunt, endangering lives and property.
I think after they get their just rewards, the
medias should ignore them.

The family did this hoax for exactly that reason.. just to become famous. I think this is such a stupid idea. It was ridiculous to pull a stunt like that and involve your children in it. Now a days any could do anything and become famous. If this hoax is made into a movie its like giving the family appraisal for what they did and alot of other people in society will think its ok to pull a stupid stunt to become famous. A lesson should be thought by putting them in jail. Waisting alot of tax payers money for all the rescue teams helping out for nothing.. its ridiculous...

Note to the Heene clan. You told US Mag that "we are tired" Guess what Einstein?? We are so tired of you. Please construst a big balloon, pack up your family and take off. The last thing anyone needs is another dysfunctional family on TV.

Please Popeater, stop acknowledging this idiot by casting him at all. He's a moron and not worth a show. How do I know? He named his kid Falcon. What a stupid name. What are the other kids named? Albatross and Whooping Crane. New Age wannabe Dumbass. He's more concerned with how his hair looks that he is about what examples he sets for his unfortunate kids. What a lousy father.
