FM - The Movie
 

Ok, there has been alot of 'who should play who' talk. This thread is for the whole band. here is my list.

Mick - Ricky Gervias (lol, but could work)
Stevie - Reese Witherspoon
Lindsay -Bradley Cooper
Christine - Toni Collete
John - Patrick Dempsey

Look, I know the whole Ricky Gervias thing might not work, just imagne him with a beard! (and stilts)

Haha Ricky Gervais is way to short :laugh:

But i love the idea of Reese witherspoon and toni collette, they would be perfect for the role i reckon.

hmm partrick dempsey for John! i dont know about that :rolleyes:

Hence the stilts!

I should start writing this film myself.

PS... Brian Dannelly and his agent have been busy with his own project, so my current movie is in limbo with him right now. I know Burr Steers has read it too. Never got a "pass" from him so there's hope yet!

Can I help - although I am 14, I a published author.
This is my vision for the opening sequence.

World Turning plays.
A clip of Stevie getting ready for her waitress job starts, then twines to the 'old' band getting ready for a gig.

Incredible! We should collaborate. I've got Final Draft and a vivid imagination... :lol:

Forget Reese Witherspoon! One of these girls should play Stevie,
either Mae Whitman (1988):

for this movie I think they need a no name cast to do it.
I think thats what the mac would like better.
And I think we'd dig that a lot more cuz we're not gonna have any negative stigma's towards whichever actors play who

Ooo...agreed about Mae Whitman

i will not budge. steven strait must play lindsey. and the other actors are way too old (untalented and ugly) that are being named. is this the story of the mac in 87?

as for the opening:

Ext. The CA sun is setting.

Int: A group of kids are talking. Boys and girls whispering. The camera catches one young man with dark hair and an overemphatic smile, showing off, playing guitar and beginning to sing "California Dreaming". Some girls are watching him. One of them--a blond who shines like a beacon--breaks off to join him. They harmonize and command the attention of everyone present. Freeze-frame. At the end of the song, they introduce themselves and we hear their names: "I'm Lindsey / I'm Stevie."


Subtitle (over the freeze frame): Lindsey and Stevie would not meet again for two years.
Subtitle 2 (appears under the previous subtitle): Meanwhile, on the other side of the world. . .

"Black Magic Woman" kicks in for a black-and-white title sequence that summarizes the history of Fleetwood Mac up until. . .

Oh, and the movie will be titled Dreams

...and I actually would love someone to collaborate on a mac screenplay. but my ideas are kinda... jungian.

THIS is stevie Nicks!!!

I can't think of anyone who could really be right for the part to play Stevie. Not even Reese. Not to mention Reese wouldn't look a thing like her. Not even with brown contacts in. Playing June Carter was one thing and sounding like that, but she doesn't sound like Stevie at all. She done that part so well because she is a country girl at heart. I don't think she could pull off the whole rock star thing.

:laugh:

You joking? He looks like he should be in the Twilight cast. Waaaay too pretty.

I think my vote goes for Bradley Cooper looking the most like Lindsey. I don't see the Steven Strait thing at all.

Wow, this movie has so much potential!
