I really enjoyed rocketman and the queen movie, also the dirt was great too. Any ones you think they should make ? Would love to see a Clapton one, maybe a stones one. Nirvana would be terrible. Older ones like the doors were great, walk the line I enjoyed .
shareI don’t know who should act in it but I think it would be cool a film about Aerosmith

shareKaren Carpenter. There could be a really great biopic if they show her struggles with anorexia. I could see Keira Knightley playing her.

shareThe Karen Carpenter Story:
https://youtu.be/2wNxaw5j428
in his early years when he was doing student & experimental films, todd haynes did a short biopic titled 'superstar: the karen carpenter story' made mostly using barbie dolls. it's been out of official circulation for years due to not receiving clearance for music rights (which made it even more of a cult item than it was already probably destined to be), but it's out there if you want to see it.
i personally think it's a legitimately great film - weird, definitely, but also oddly respectful. all the versions of it i've seen are pretty rough looking and sounding, but it's absolutely worth a watch imo.
There's a version on YouTube but, yeah, it's pretty bad quality.

sharePrince, and it’s better with an unknown with some musical talent....still, a role that’s tough to cast, may take a few years to develop and build up interest ....
shareI'd bet real money that Rebel Wilson has a "The Mammas and the Pappas" project in Development Hell.
It'd actually be a great story for a two-hour film, if the band members and their heirs ever agreed to let it be filmed. But I can see why they'd be reluctant, but who knows how much they need an infusion of cash.
I read the McKenzie Phillips biography, crazy crazy stuff
shareI think a lot of the craziest or worst stuff came after the band broke up, and wouldn't have to be included in the film.
Who knows whether anyone associated with the band would want the past raked up, but they're getting old and a comfortable old age is very expensive.
