Why doesn't someone offer McCain $20 million to star in a dystopian movie?

Contrast an opportunity to make actual big money and his current risky venture. What do his Republican values tell him?

Reagan proved that a movie star can become President. Now it's McCain's turn. He needs to prove that he can become a movie star.

He could play the role of President. In that role, he could bomb twelve countries and kill millions of people, but nobody would actually die. Instead, he would have millions of admiring fans.

Someone needs to ask McCain: "Are you afraid of success?"

1. Mccain isn't interesting enough to be a villain
Yeah, Putin is a bad guy, but he's also a pretty fascinating character. McCain doesn't even have that going for him.

2. I suppose that the scriptwriter would be the actual source of interesting lines.
However, after enough takes, McCain would be able to utter the lines in a suitable dramatic manner.
