For better authenticity - if this movie should be made then the filmmakers should be allowed access to all the demos, and through movie magic make it look like the members are cutting them in REAL time (have them lip-synch and stuff).

We'd need to hear the REAL music from Rumours on the soundtrack. Actors are not musicians and to have them recreate it would take away from the verisimilitude. We'd need the real thing.

Maybe on future pressings of the CD have a little sticker on it saying "Now a major film starring..." you know, that kind of deal.

As for the end of the movie (I've alluded to this before) it should be after the album is released we see the band members all in the waiting room of a gig. They can hear the audience outside cheering and they all look at each other and say something like "OK, let's just put it behind us for tonight and go out there and do this". Then we see the curtain rise and they walk out on stage.

Camera cuts to the stage itself but instead of the actors it's the REAL members of Fleetwood Mac - obviously 35 and a bit years older. Then we see them doing a live performance of "The Chain". The audience goes wild and it ends with them taking a bow.

I'd just call the movie Fleetwood Mac: Rumours and the movie poster would be a recreation of the album cover, obviously with the actor playing Mick Fleetwood and the actress playing Stevie Nicks recreating that pose.

I know what you're all thinking. You're thinking "ChickenStu is awesome and they should let him make this". And you know what? You're right!
