Interesting. Gotta say I have a hard time seeing Jonah Hill as Jerry, but maybe he can pull it off and with Scorsese directing, that's not nothing.
If only it wasn't on Apple, but with the history, maybe it is appropriate.

Scorsese made the only great Netflix movie so I'm not worried about it being better than Apple's other stuff. My impression of Garcia's temperament is that it is very different from Jonah's previous roles

For sure. Who knows how that might pan out, I mostly think of Hill from comedic goofy roles, and Jerry wasn't like that all that much. So, for I know Hill might actually be real Dead fan, I've never read that or noticed it, but it could go along way towards a solid depiction.
But I found this in a different news article
That's very promising.
