Who would you cast in an autobiographical film about Abba?


Agetha and Frida both oddly resemble Hilary Duff & Lindsay Lohan, but I doubt anyone would take them seriously in the roles of these women - besides that, Agetha & Frida could sing circles around the two.

Any serious casting ideas in mind?

My god,how could you even mention Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan in the same breath as Agnetha& Frida.

reply

Yeah, forget this notion. Luckily, it would probably have to be approved by all four former ABBA members, and I am pretty confident that Agnetha Ase Faltskog would say a resounding "No!" to it, so there's no real risk of it ever coming to life. Gotta love Agnetha!

Yes, the members of ABBA have always declined the offers they have had for the film rights to their life story, and thanks for that, I say!!!!!

I don't see the resemblance myself. At all. Agetha and Frida were pretty. ;)

I'm drawing a blank. I can't think of any young actresses who could pull off both the look and the singing. The best I can come up with is Reese Witherspoon....since she can actually sing and is pretty.

Even if such a film was to be made, which it won't, the best bet would be to cast young Swedish actors and actresses who are adept at singing and performing, rather than just grabbing whichever of Hollywood's hcurrent hot young things bear a passing resemblance to members of the band...

So true.

Grindhouse, there are people like you all over IMDB, nasty little jerks who are just looking to spam and troll around. All I said was that there was a resemblance, I never said they should really be cast. Why don't you learn how to read? ;)

Whoever is cast as Annifrid and Agnetha would need to be really good actors, the guys seems like they would be less of a challenge to portray. I think Gwyneth Paltroy could capture the moodiness of Agnetha well and Anne Hathaway could deliver a glamourous Annifrid.

Malin Akerman to play Agnetha...!

Can we make this quick? I need to give a banana to Annie's Boobs.
