If there'll be a Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac movie, which actors should be cast?

[Crown]

It's really, really difficult enough to think of an actress who even looks like Stevie...the best choice for me would be Jennie Garth, but she doesn't possess 1/764300000th the grace, intelligence and charisma that's needed...or acting skill. :laugh:

This would be hard.

Jennie Garth is too tall and pale to be Stevie.

If its Rumours era, they need someone natural, petite and really cute. Maybe if you put some brown contacts on Kylie Minogue? LOL, she's small, cute and can be natural.

Really, we need to search this out!!! Who can be her?

Christine would be hard too, in fact everyone would be hard but Mick, for him you get someone tall and skinny.

I really would love to see some ideas because right now Im drawing a blank!

If this were like 1979, Id say Carrie Fisher! Anyone else think that one Stevie pic from Micks book looks exactly like Carrie Fisher and I think they both have similar faces and Carrie is small and cute..

Id say any recent actress who is small with big brown eyes and that can sing.

Janet, Carrie has the eyes to play Stevie.

Hmmm...the only person I can think to fit in that cast would be either Cate Blanchett, Claire Danes or Gwenyth Paltrow as Christine McVie.

Terri Garr for Christine...some pics of Chris from that era look a lot like she's Terri Garr, imho...

YES!:] Whenever this type of thread has come up I've always insisted that Carrie Fisher and Stevie are ( / were) uncannily similar!! I'm glad at least one other person sees it!

:wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

p.s. same goes for Mick Fleetwood and John Cleese ~ late 70s/early 80s.

[strandinthewind]

If I have said it once, I have said it twice

Maggie Smith or Dame Edna must play Mick!!!!!!

Also, I met Jennie Garth on the set of 90210 many years ago. She was very nice and appeared alot like SN. So - who knows!!

[chiliD]

John Cleese: Mick
Rob Lowe: Lindsey
Sean Penn: John
Crystal Bernard: Stevie
Goldie Hawn: Christine

That's a very good looking Fleetwood Mac!lol!:D

[wetcamelfood]

STEVIE: Nancy Allen (back in the "Carrie" days)

LINDSEY: (I'm swithering on Aidan Quinn, I mean, he looks the part but he seems "too New York and not enough L.A." to me so I'll have to think about this one some more)

CHRISTINE: Helen Mirren

JOHN: Jean Reno (or possibly Dave Mason)

MICK: Jonathan Pryce

OK, I normally wouldn't but I'll just leave it at the "Rumours" only crew. :)

John

Stevie:Linda Blair-Roller Boogie 1979

Lindsey Buckingham: James Frain-Where The Heart Is 2000-2001

Christine McVie- Teri Garr-Mr. Mom 1983

John McVie- I don't know who would be his look a like

Mick- Gary Oldham in some gothic creepy movie that escapes me at the moment

[The Tower]

Lindsey - Ed Norton
Stevie - Meg Ryan
Christing - Julianne Moore
John - Alan Cumming
Mick - Marilyn Manson


YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brad PItt isn't good-looking enough to play young Lindsey.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My fave actor and my fave musician....but I don't think Brad looks like Lindsey....although I WOULD PAY to see the movie if Brad were playing Lindsey...I don't care WHO plays the others!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;):laugh:

Brad is gorgeous and Lindsey is gorgeous...they are kinda similar in their...hermitness. LOL

[Crown]

It would blow chunks.

[BombaySapphire3]

Linda Blair does resemble Stevie but she is a terrible actress.The oscar nomination for The Exorcist should have gone to Mercedes McCambridge who did pazozoo's voice.

Yes! I have always thought that Linda Blair and Stevie resemble each other.

For a modern day cast, I think Cate Blanchette would make a perfect Christine McVie. The guy to play Lindsey is Paul Rudd, the guy from Clueless and other movies I can't think of right now. Stevie is hard though, I can't think of any actress out there that can capture her presence.

Just thought everybody would like to know that the movie we're all talking about is currently being filmed and is slated to be released for the summer 2004. Peter Jackson is directing with New Line Cinema! This will be his first foray in the Hollywood film making!

Hollywood and New Line Cinema appreciated all of your suggestions though!


These are the actors who have agreed to the scripts.

STEVIE NICKS ~ Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer; there was never any question about her casting. Drew Barrymore has been approached to play Stevie's "stunt double" for some of the live performances and fight scenes. Peter had Sarah Michelle in mind specifically with a few tweeks here and there ~ "It was her destiny", he stated!)

LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM ~ Mathew McConaughey (It had been reported they he lost close to 25 pounds to play the part.)

JOHN MCVIE ~ Skeet Ulrich (A diehard old school Fleetwood Mac fan who already knows how to play bass!)

CHRISTINE MCVIE ~ Camaron Diaz (Currently Camaron wanted to really "perfect" her role - so she asked Christine if she could live with her for two months abroad to learn how to tap into her psychic sensitivities, cook, English dialect, and piano/keyboards. Christine was thrilled.)

MICK FLEETWOOD ~ Originally he wanted to play himself and had auditioned for the part about 9 times over the past 20 years since the project had been on the table. Peter Jackson and the producers finally agreed (with the aid of film clips from the "Running Man") that his part will be portrayed by a computer animated model layered with special effects and voice overs. It had been suggested that the reason for the delay in the films' release was the lack of sophisticated technology to bring Mick's character to film. (It has also been rumored that John Malkovich felt he could not play the part with any justice.)

I suppose Art does imitates life after all!

Life, Love, Magick~

Moon Brother: haha

[flyfirefly]

Oh God, please tell me that's a joke.

[flyfirefly]

...because I would make an excellent Stevie ;)

[Villavic]

Teri Garr would be perfect for Chris role, but she is a bit old right now. Ryan Phillipe could be a good Lindsey, he got a curly hair (though he would turn it dark).

[Wild Heart]

This is fun! I love these threads!

I can't think of an actress that has the expression and artistry to play Stevie. As far as just looks go, Meg Ryan, Crystal Bernard, Melissa Reeves (Days of Our Lives) or Holly Hunter if she had blonde hair might work. I would really have to think on this one.

Even though his not the sex symbol Lindsay is, I could see Tom Hanks having alot of fun with Lindsay's stage persona.

Cate Blanchett is a good choice for Christine.

Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future, Taxi) could do a very good Mick. He's the only actor I can think of that does the bug eyed thing well like Mick.

I don't know why I think Alan Rickman should play John. They look nothing alike but I just love that guy! He has a cool accent too!

This is an unlikely group of actors but then FM is an unlikely group of people!
