Anyone else like to see a Fleetwood Mac movie?
I apologize if this has been discussed before, I'm new here. Do I need to earn my place? Lol
I'm surprised this hasn't already happened. A movie about Fleetwood Mac. It could be good if it's rated R and they have someone awesome making the movie, like Oliver Stone or Martin Scorsese or Baz Lurhman. I would want to see a great ensemble cast. The actors should all be late 20s - early 30s. I'm a Rumours era purist, 1975-1987. Their old stuff is great too, but Fleetwood Mac is Lindsey, Christine, Stevie, John, and Mick. So I would like the majority of the movie be about that, like have the movie start with John, Mick, and Christine moving to LA. I also want to see a realistic portrayal of all the cocaine and alcohol. Good ole sex, drugs, and rock n roll. I'm still pondering a cast. Anyone have any suggestions? |

Ari Graynor as Christine
Amber Heard as Stevie But for Christine, John, and Mick, we have to take British accents into account. Last edited by Wdm6789; 03-13-2014 at 01:35 PM.. |

Gawd! A Mac movie, It probably would just piss me off. Their history is amazing, and should be a movie, But....I love them so much and the real story would probably never translate onscreen close to the real thang. I'm just too attached to them, know too much about them to adjust to the "Artistic dramatic recreations and hollywood movie BS".
......but ofcoarse I'd watch it so we all could bit@h about it here on the ledge... |

6 Biopics That Hollywood Should Make Next
Nick Cannata-Bowman December 13, 2014 Wallstcheatsheet Read more: http://wallstcheatsheet.com/entertai...#ixzz3Lucab5Wu 5. Fleetwood Mac Who Should Star: Mae Whitman as Stevie NicksrWhat do you think? Imagine all the conflict in Johnny Cash’s life, and multiply it by the five members of the original Fleetwood Mac. It’s a story wrought with the drugs, sex, and rock and roll of any musician biopic, but Fleetwood is really the conflicting band to end them all. During production for Rumours, the album that made them the rock legends they are today, no one was even speaking to each other thanks to a host of “who slept with who doing what drugs”-related problems. In that discord, they created ballads we’re still singing along to today.rWhat do you think? You may recognize Whitman as Ann Veal from Arrested Development and most recently as Amber Holt on NBC’s Parenthood. In doing so you also may realize she’s a dead ringer for Fleetwood’s lead singer Stevie Nicks — here’s hoping she knows how to sing. Read more: http://wallstcheatsheet.com/entertai...#ixzz3LucVdGSk |

Surprised it hasn't happened as it would give them yet another reason to do another "Rumours" reissue...The "Rumours" Soundtrack.

No No No and an extra No. I do not want to see a biopic with look alike actors.....I have my fantastic memories of this most fabulous band in my head (and photos etc). Why would you want to watch a film about them when they are still with us larger than life.

Anyway, I think James Marsden or even Bradley Cooper could play Lindsey. Alison Lohman for Stevie. Cate Blanchett would've been a perfect choice for Christine, but she might be a bit old now. Geoffrey Rush would make a great modern-day Mick. |

Jared Leto HAS to be Lindsey. Gorgeous, musically talented, dark-haired with stunning blue eyes. What more could you ask for? Bradley Cooper is NOT cute, and he's a "swole bro." No. Just, no.

I have strong feelings on this. I think in film history there's never been a great film on the music business. This shouldn't be a biopic, this should be about the band. How they came together, how they drifted apart....there's a great article about how it was making Tusk, the time when everyone had their own entourages and it would be hard to talk to each other. This shouldn't be a Rumours only thing...but should take us through a few decades. Ending with either The Dance or Lindsey coming onstage to play Landslide with Stevie and Christine. Songs should be featured, probably having the actors lip-synch. But there should also be new arrangements, particularly instrumental or piano so it's not just song after song after song. It would also be a good chance to highlight lesser known songs: I'm think Why and Storms for sure. There's potential, but it needs to be in the right hands with a good director who's given freedom by the band to tell a genuine and compelling story...not whitewashing (I want to see the Tango fight, getting physical), not making **** up (the material is inherently dramatic).

I dont think a biopic movie would work particularly well. Those that have been made always end up trying to cram too much into too short a period of time. As a fan I end up having to stop myself from screaming at the screen as they tend to be factually inaccurate or just not make proper sense.
I dont even think a full movie set during a small time period (1975-1979) would properly do justice to their stories. I think it would be ideal for a mini-series though. Would love to see; Episode 1: The Blues years 1967-1970 Episode 2: Transition 1970-1974 Episode 3: Making it big 1975-1978 Episode 4: Indulgence 1978-1984 Episode 5: The Come Back 1985-1990 Episode 6: Whatever's left 1990-onwards |

That said, I suppose you could open with them taking the stage in Minneapolis. A teary eyed Mick Fleetwood would then go into flashback mode and reminisce starting with his first meeting with Peter. In fact, each episode could start with a different song being played live at Minneapolis before Mick thinks back to a different period in time. Or would that be too cheesy? |
