Lindsay: The next Stevie Nicks?

[MacMan]

Please god NO!

http://lifeandstylemag.hollywood.com/2006/11/lindsay_the_next_stevie_nicks.php

It’s no secret that Lindsay Lohan parties up a storm, but the rave reviews she’s getting for her performance in her newest film, Bobby, prove the girl’s got major talent, too!

Now an insider tells Life & Style the 20-year-old spitfire is looking to take her career to the next level by angling for a role that will merge her love for singing and acting…and hopefully get her that Oscar she’s been dreaming of!

“She says that movies like Ray and Walk the Line are good examples of the kinds of projects she’d like to do,” the insider says. “She feels like she’s found a dream role in a story about Stevie Nicks at the height of Fleetwood Mac’s fame. Lindsay loves the music of that era, and [people] have told her she has the same distinctive gravelly voice as Stevie’s.”

Lindsay is working behind the scenes, says the insider, to get the rights to the story so she can produce it herself. She even has a leading man in mind to play Stevie’s longtime love and Fleetwood Mac band mate, Lindsey Buckingham — dreamy Jared Leto!

“She keeps saying what a great team they are on-screen and that she has always wondered why he didn’t have a bigger career,” says the insider.

That’s music to our ears!

I have to agree she's quite good in Bobby (all the cast is incredible), but to imagine her as Stevie Nicks would give me nightmares.

[ontheEdgeof17]

If she wants to try to fill Stevie's boots, more power to her. I don't think she has the draw of crowds like she did a few years ago. I'm just glad Stevie's story has been discussed. But how much "story" do they know? It will be hard to get a good 2 hour drama without the band coughing up some inside info....

Lindsay Lohan to make a movie about Stevie Nicks

On her last album, A Little More Personal, Lindsay Lohan covered "Edge of Seventeen," a Stevie Nicks song. It seems the experience has left a mark on Lindsay as she's now attempting to get the rights Stevie's story so that she can make it into a film, reports Life & Style Weekly.

An insider told L&S, "[Lindsay] says that movies like Ray and Walk the Line are good examples of the kinds of projects she'd like to do. She feels like she's found a dream role in a story about Stevie Nicks at the height of Fleetwood Mac's fame. Lindsay loves the music of that era, and [people] have told her she has the same distinctive gravelly voice as Stevie's."

Lohan is also hoping that her former flame - and the co-star of her upcoming film, Chapter 27 - Jared Leto, will sign on for the movie as well. Lindsay has Jared in mind for the role of Stevie's Fleetwood Mac bandmate and lover, Lindsey Buckingham. The L&S source revealed, "[Lindsay] keeps saying what a great team they are on-screen and that she has always wondered why [Jared] didn't have a bigger career."

The magazine claims that Lindsay is being very proactive in the process of securing the rights to the movie. She may even serve as one of its producers. This wouldn't be the first time Lohan has taken on extra responsibility. She directed the video for her song "Confessions of a Broken Heart."

As much as I'd love to see a Stevie movie, I fail to see how one can be made if they limit it to the "height of Fleetwood Mac's fame." That's 1978, and nothing especially tragic had happened to any of them at that point. Yeah, there was a lot of partying amidst some affairs and breakups - boo-freakin-hoo.

On the other hand, if they started in the studio while Bella Donna was being recorded, and ended with Stevie coming out of rehab, clear-headed at her piano writing DTBTIC, I could see it. All the Mac stuff could be handled in hyperreal drug-fueled flashbacks - that way you couldn't tell what was real and what was exaggerated, thus sparing everyone else's precious reputations.

Much more interesting will be the Landslide of lawsuits that bring down Ms. Lohan is Stevie doesn't like what's going on. :nod:

[SortaSavageLike]

A few months back, I came close to putting together a script that focused on Stevie and her friendship with Robin Anderson. It started with them meeting in high school, and ended with Stevie choking up on stage after her death. Unfortunately, every time I put it to paper it was just too damned depressing.

Of course, it would also have plenty of kick-ass live performances. :rolleyes:

[catinthedark]

got this article on google alerts today. could only muster... "dear god... no."

seriously, and thankfully, i don't think she has a prayer of securing the rights. we all know what control freaks stevie, lindsey, and mick are.

it'll never happen.

thank god.

[bikerchic]

I think I'll kill myself. She would have to get the rights from all of them, not just Stevie. If Stevie goes for this, I'll never talk to her again. Oh, that's right, I don't talk to her anyway :cool:

[BombaySapphire3]

On the other hand, if they started in the studio while Bella Donna was being recorded, and ended with Stevie coming out of rehab, clear-headed at her piano writing DTBTIC, I could see it
Was she even clear headed long enough to write this gem of a song.?.let's not forget she continued her downward spiral with an even more lethal addiction AFTER she got out of rehab the first time.I think the film should deal with that addiction and recovery too.

[strandinthewind]

I think LL is a good actress and she could paly the role. Could she sing it - probably not - but then who could actually sing like that?

[DrummerDeanna]

I think LL is a good actress and she could paly the role. Could she sing it - probably not - but then who could actually sing like that?

I completely agree - and was starting to think I was the only one on here who actually think LL has talent :laugh:

She's a party gal - but she's YOUNG and rich...and unfortunately making a lot of the same mistakes all of us did - only she's in the spotlight...

She can act though - I've enjoyed every movie I've seen her in...I've never heard her sing though - oh wait, I did in A Prairie Home Companion...

hey if Reese Witherspoon can pull off June Carter then I think with coaching and practice LL could do Stevie.

[BombaySapphire3]

The idea that Lohan herself is trying to get this off the gorund and produce it leads me to believe it has no chance of happening.I'm a huge Jodie Foster fan and at her early 1990s peak she was a much bigger and more prestigious star than Lohan will likely ever be and even she couldn't get a biopic of troubled French new wave American actress and suicide victim Jean Seberg off the ground and she had her own production company. It would take years even to get a filmable script IMO. It just ain't gonna happen.

[greatdarkwing]

Am I the only one who thinks this might be a good thing for Stevie? No, I am not too happy to see Lindsay playing the part, but still. This could be a HUGE surge for Stevie's last 3-4-5 years in the public spotlight. Plus, this could be a push for an autobiography, and a possible RRHF induction as a solo artist...I think this movie has alot more positives than negatives.:nod:

Sure if the film actually had the cred to get made and done well.Lohan is kind of a ditz who was nearly fired from the film she is working on now due to unproffesional behavior.If this film actually sees the light of day i'll be stunned.I think we'll see the Rhiannon project get made first.:laugh:

Hey yeah, I think this would be great! It could keep the FM/Stevie magic going for a few more years to come! Think about how many young LL fans out there who know nothing about FM, but they sure would if a movie was made. Yes, LL can sing, I've only heard the song from "confessions of a teenage drama queen" and it's good! Why is everyone up in arms about this esp her singing?

[BombaySapphire3]

Does anyone remember the Janis Joplin biopic that was supposed to have been made ?It has been discussed for years now and by major studios..still hasn't even gone into production ..so don't worry Hohan is just ranting as usual..nothing will come of it but I guess it does make entertaining speculation .

This post is spot on. They would have to center on the party, attractive years, like these things always do. :rolleyes: The affairs would be overdramatized, the songs would be only hits - I would hope for a big blowout scene with Joe Walsh featuring the song "Long Way to Go", but that's probably a bit of a fantasy. Or it would be depicted in the fantasy hyperreal drug fueled flashback mode that you spoke of.
I don't care if she does it or not - we already know that it will be crappy, anyone's rendition of Stevie probably would be subpar to us. But, if it makes more people examine Stevie's work, then, hurrah.

I would wish that we could find an Angela Basset (Tina Turner) or a Phillip Seymour Hoffman (Capote) to do justice to STevie, but I think that is a huge challenge. Which I think will make the movie more about the dramatic entanglements rather than the music.
So.
I know already that the thing that will piss me off most is the same thing that is evident in Stevie's setlist - all the same songs, all the time. I don't think we'll be getting any renditions of how awesome live Stevie really is, and always has been, and all those strange and beautiful moments that her voice really had, which is about 45% of the true breadth of her talent. We ain't getting no Tusk doc Angel dance, if you know what I mean. And I think it would be almost impossible to find any actress to recreate that even somewhat successfully, to be honest.

I do think Jared Leto (or Jake Gyllenhaal) would be interesting Lindsey choices. However, they MUST cast an actor named "Steven" or "Stephen." The gimmick of Lindsay playing Stevie and Steven playing Lindsey is just tooooo tempting to resist!

[JazmenFlowers]

This post is spot on.
ITA. my pick is and has always been Olivia D'Abo circa her Conan days. watching that movie sometimes I picture Stevie instead...I think she has the fragility, the frame, the strength, the face, the hair...well, you get the picture...

It's interesting that Lohan brought up that part specifically, because though as much as I loved Walk the Line, I always thought it focused on Johnny and June's relationship a little too much as opposed to his actual career. I know that was done deliberately, but I wonder where Lohan plans to take the movie if that's the case. I agree with whoever said that a movie based solely on the days when Fleetwood Mac was most popular seems a bit strange. There's not enough there to fill up an entire movie. A ****load of drama occured before and after the height of their careers. Either you focus on the entire band and start from when the band was born up until a glorious moment (because in Hollywood everything has to end happily) or focus on one bandmember, and it doesn't really say what's going to be the case with this movie. Besides, they're really going to need some inside information to pull this off. I seriously hope they are not going to base this one the spectacularly lame 'biographies' that are out there, or worse, on Mick's tell-all book. :eek:

If, ofcourse, there is going to be a movie, which I seriously doubt. The fact that Lohan's name is once again linked to a possible project is very much vomit inducing. Though I have to admit that Jared Leto as Lindsey is actually not that bad of a thought.

[paleshadow]

I think LL is a good actress and she could paly the role. Could she sing it - probably not - but then who could actually sing like that?

I agree with you. I also think that having Lindsay Lohan attached to a Stevie related project could only bring more exposure to Stevie herself, especially from a much younger demographic.

[Nixxxed]

Was she even clear headed long enough to write this gem of a song.?.let's not forget she continued her downward spiral with an even more lethal addiction AFTER she got out of rehab the first time.I think the film should deal with that addiction and recovery too.
If they tried to pack everything in one movie, it would be one big mess. I was just trying to arbitrate some bookends to make what I think might be an interesting and exciting movie. Including the Klonopin years would mean Lohan would have to gain 80 pounds for the role, or spend 2 months in a latex suit. Acting skills or none, I just can't imagine her doing that, nor can I imagine her effectively portraying a 45 year-old woman dealing with the loss of her sex-symbol status. Right now she's only talking about the Mac's heyday which would require the least effort from her possible.

And if the movie includes all those other hardships, what about the leaky silicone breast implants, what about the period where Stevie was claiming to have Epstein-Barr, what about the Inauguration and 6 months of jokes about her afterwards, what about...? It's too much.

I see what you're saying, though. A full history would be great. Keep praying for the autobiography.

Maybe they can split it into 3 parts and we'll be talking about Stevie movies for the next 10 years. Then, after that we can look forward to the digitally-enhanced re-releases that fix all the stuff they couldn't get right the first time around. Then the prequels start and we get a Fritz movie with her meeting Lindsey, watching Janis Joplin on stage, and Jimi Hendrix remarking about her yellow panties. Then a Buckingham-Nicks movie where we get to see the real origin of Landslide and Rhiannon and deal with the nudie album cover photo shoot........ :laugh:

I think the movie should start in high school, when Stevie sings "California Dreamin'" with Lindsey, and end during "The Chain" performance at the first "The Dance" taping. Yes, there is a lot of ground to cover... but it could totally be done with the right script and editing. May be a 2.5-hour movie, which would focus on:

1. Stevie meeting Lindsey, falls in love, records album. Focus on BN cover photoshoot.
2. S&L joining FM. Focus on sexual tension with Mick.
3. Sex, drugs, rock n' roll between 75-80, breaking up with Lindsey, shacking up with Mick. Focus on guitar-slinging incident in NZ, Christine slapping Lindsey.
4. Solo career takes off, jealousy erupts within the band, drug use escalates. Focus on Stevie falling off stage during RAL tour.
5. Stevie goes to rehab and Lindsey backs out of TITN tour. Focus on Lindsey chasing Stevie and smacking her around.
6. Klonopin daze, obesity, depression, cold war with Lindsey and Mick. Focus on the second rehab from Klonopin, which was worse than rehab from coke.
7. Triumphant reunion in 1997.

I personally think La Lohan could pull this off. Although she may be a total space case in real person, she has the voice, the youthful energy and the acting chops to do Stevie justice. I just can't imagine any of the typical blonde girlie-girl actresses doing Stevie. Lindsay has a certain darkly feminine edge about her that suits her for this role.

So who would play Christine? I can't think of any actresses who are, well, masculine enough :sorry:. You's gotta have balls to play some Christine!

[strandinthewind]

Once again, I think Maggie Smith should play Mick - she could, of course, do CM justice as well if she were younger.

[Johnny Stew]

Well, she wants Jared Leto to play the leading role of Stevie's long time love Lindsey Buckingham, so it's safe to say that the other Mac members will definitely be present.Oh, I'm sure they'll be represented. Absolutely.
My comment was really just tongue-in-cheek... although I should point out that it sounds like the inclusion of other Macsters in the movie's plotline would only be incidental to the fact that the film is about Stevie's life and career. ;)

[AliceLover]

When I first read this I was a little enraged. I think I felt this way because of Lindsay Lohan trying to get the role, but she is not a bad actress. She is a HORRIBLE singer, but I do love her acting. I think she has a great knack for it. I think this would be very good for Stevie. Maybe the movie will gain her and Fleetwood Mac more recgonition and attention? Maybe all the attention will motivate them to release something? Who know's. Of course this is all speculation.

But I think I would get emotional during the klonopin years! :distress:

[Sahara]

We ain't getting no Tusk doc Angel dance, if you know what I mean.

*giggles* It's so much fun being part of a group who understand a reference as obscure as that....

This isn't going to happen, by the way.
But if it did, I would be absolutely crushed...! Lohan is the absolute LAST person on the list of people I would like to see play Stevie. Last. We all saw what happened with Edge of Seventeen..... She's pretty, young and maybe can sing a little bit, but I think this would do Stevie's popularity with the younger generation more harm than good in the long run when Lohan has been forgotten....

But, as has been pointed out and explained, this isn't going to happen. And if it does, I'm with those people jumping in rivers.

PS: If Stevie did give this the go-ahead, I would never speak to her again _either_. :p

[Sahara]

I do think Jared Leto (or Jake Gyllenhaal) would be interesting Lindsey choices.

Jake: Hell yes.
Jared: This is the first time I've heard that name, I just did a Google Image search and based on looks? Yes, this could happen.

I remain convinced however that Johnny Depp is the only man for the job. :rolleyes:

However, they MUST cast an actor named "Steven" or "Stephen." The gimmick of Lindsay playing Stevie and Steven playing Lindsey is just tooooo tempting to resist!

*gigglesmirk* Brilliant! :wavey:

7. Triumphant reunion in 1997.
Exactly what I was thinking. You have a perfect set-up, because the California Dreaming story is still a pretty neat one, considering their history and with the Dance reunion you have that dreamy, happy ending that Hollywood people love. They love showing people going through the worst of the worst and coming out with a cherry on top.

Again though, I still wonder what they are going to use as a reference, should a project like this come to fruition. Stevie is going to wait until she's 90 and everyone else is dead to spill anything, Mick only has a lot of disoriented cocaine induced years as reference, the result of which ended up in that ridiculous book. Lindsey is usually not one to tattletale, although lately I have to admit he's getting a little more loose-lipped. Christine is too busy drinking tea in England and probably doesn't want to be bothered with a thing like this. John would rather be sailing, or doing anything else really, than having be sat down and asked about the not so glorious moments of Fleetwood Mac.

[Serrart]

Am I the only one who thinks this might be a good thing for Stevie? No, I am not too happy to see Lindsay playing the part, but still. This could be a HUGE surge for Stevie's last 3-4-5 years in the public spotlight. Plus, this could be a push for an autobiography, and a possible RRHF induction as a solo artist...I think this movie has alot more positives than negatives.:nod:

I'm sure studios have got during the last 10 -15 years various projects regarding a movie about FM or Stevie, that over the years were stopped, there's nothing new in another one. Obviously Lindsay Lohan is trying to use her star power to give to her project a boost, but it won't go anywhere, IMO. To make it work it must have the full support from FM and a 30-50 million budget at least, since the costs for the soundtrack would be astronomical. I see it possible only if a great director comes aboard and right now to work with Lindsay Lohan as a leading actress is a huge risk, since she's highly unreliable on the set.

I'm having a great time picturing you doing Stevie's Angel dance. Or would you leave that up to Paula? Seriously, you guys need to start cracking on this, it's Oscar worthy material for sure.


Amen! I would like to second this motion :)

[Travis]

I think I'll kill myself. She would have to get the rights from all of them, not just Stevie. If Stevie goes for this, I'll never talk to her again. Oh, that's right, I don't talk to her anyway :cool:


It's ok for Stevie to let Destiny's Child turn Edge into a booty song but not for Lindsay to play her :confused:

[Travis]

I completely agree - and was starting to think I was the only one on here who actually think LL has talent :laugh:

She's a party gal - but she's YOUNG and rich...and unfortunately making a lot of the same mistakes all of us did - only she's in the spotlight...

Agreed ... none of us would like to have what we did in our 20's out on display for the world to see. She's young, she's growing, she'll hopefully grow out of her wild party antics. But you have to give credit where credit is due, Lindsay Lohan can act, she's very good. I too have enjoyed all of her movies that I've seen. I have no doubt she can pull this off.

This could have gone in the Robert Altman thread in CHIT CHAT, but I think it is more pertinent in the task of considering L. Lohan for the role of Stevie Nicks. :D

From USA Today (I actually got this from a funny post on Stereogum (http://www.stereogum.com/archives/004022.html#more) entitled, "Be Adequite")

Lindsay Lohan released a statement Tuesday extending her condolences to Robert Altman's family:

"I would like to send my condolences out to Catherine Altman, Robert Altmans wife, as well as all of his immediate family, close friends, co-workers, and all of his inner circle.

"I feel as if I've just had the wind knocked out of me and my heart aches.

"If not only my heart but the heart of Mr. Altman's wife and family and many fellow actors/artists that admire him for his work and love him for making people laugh whenever and however he could..

"Robert altman made dreams possible for many independent aspiring filmmakers, as well as creating roles for countless actors.

"I am lucky enough to of been able to work with Robert Altman amongst the other greats on a film that I can genuinely say created a turning point in my career.

"I learned so much from Altman and he was the closest thing to my father and grandfather that I really do believe I've had in several years.

"The point is, he made a difference.

"He left us with a legend that all of us have the ability to do.

"So every day when you wake up.

"Look in the mirror and thank god for every second you have and cherish all moments.

"The fighting, the anger, the drama is tedious.

"Please just take each moment day by day and consider yourself lucky to breathe and feel at all and smile. Be thankful.

"Life comes once, doesn't 'keep coming back' and we all take such advantage of what we have.

"When we shouldn't..... '

"Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of yourselves' (12st book) -everytime there's a triumph in the world a million souls hafta be trampled on.-altman Its true. But treasure each triumph as they come.

"If I can do anything for those who are in a very hard time right now, as I'm one of them with hearing this news, please take advantage of the fact that I'm just a phone call away.

God Bless, peace and love always.

Thank You,

"BE ADEQUITE"

LIFE STYLE EXTRA (UK) - Lindsay Lohan is desperate to play Stevie Nicks in a film of the Fleetwood Mac singer's life.

The 20-year-old actress dreams of winning an Oscar and believes starring in a biopic of a legendary singer's life is the way to get her hands on the golden prize.

A source told Life and Style Weekly magazine: "Lindsay says that movies like 'Ray' and 'Walk the Line' are good examples of the kinds of projects she'd like to do.

"She feels like she's found a dream role in a story about Stevie Nicks at the height of Fleetwood Mac's fame. Lindsay loves the music of that era, and people have told her she has the same distinctive gravelly voice as Stevie's."

Lindsay believed to be trying to secure the rights to the story so she can produce the film herself.

The flame-haired actress even has a leading man in mind to play Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham - actor Jared Leto.

The pair worked together on upcoming film 'Chapter 27', which is about the assassination of John Lennon. Leto plays the late Beatle's crazed killer Mark David Chapman.

The source said: "She keeps saying what a great team they are on-screen and that she has always wondered why he didn't have a bigger career."

Oh come on, the girl probably hasn't seen a classroom since she was 7. And sure they have 'on-set' teachers...but erm...dunno. Paris is dumb as a box of hair so :shrug:

But unlike Paris, I do think Lindsay has some talent :nod:

I can't take credit - it's an old Karen line from a Will and Grace...from many years ago :o

Yeah - the girl needs to get her **** together - but she's got some good people getting behind her, Jane Fonda etc..maybe she'll start learning something....

That is if she doesn't f**king kill herself first..she just had her 5th car accident in a few months or something....

[trackaghost]

I'm not sure why everyone is so down on Lohan, as she's a decent actress.
I'd be more concerned with who the writer and director of the project will be, because that will decide whether it's a Walk The Line or TV Movie Of The Week.

Has Cameron Crowe done screenplays? I know Almost Famous was about him, but can't remember if he wrote it. He'd be a good choice since he knows her, and probably has (or can easily get) all the scoop.

I know, right? Like I said at 7W.. this is pretty lame. I guess all anyone really has to do these days to be considered to play someone is to cover their song. Badly. :rolleyes:

Badly. :rolleyes:

Amen!

Except that she does have talent. She is a talented little actress. The Parent Trap, Mean Girls, Prairie Home Companion (in which she sings and does a good job), and Herbie etc....some of those Herbie are geared toward a young audience - but she also held her own in APHC and Mean Girls...:shrug:

Of course not everyone has the same taste, so perhaps you have seen these and still think she sucks. Whatever...to each their own.

She is misguided and self-obessed, yes. Please show me a kid who ISN'T those things...the only difference is she's got tons of money, a mom who's a big partier rather than a parent and she's in the spotlight...but the girl has talent unlike some of her peers (Paris, Nicole Richie et al).

I personally would much rather have Lindsay play Stevie than Paris or something :shrug:

And this "work" is again, Robert Altmans 'A Prairie Home Companion" Tina Fey's (writtene by) Mean Girls....her upcoming movie with Jane Fonda and others and Bobby...

I liked her in Mean Girls, and I thought she was a decent actress. I think I would like to see her play Stevie, but I haven't come acrross an actress who I think should instead. It would be hard to match (or summon) Stevie's charisma, in addition ot her appearance and voice.

Y'know, I'll admit that I liked Mean Girls, but Lilo as an actress overall.... does nothin' for me. I wouldn't go out of my way to see anything else she's been in. Certainly not a Stevie movie! :mad:

American acting must be in hard times if these are the only two available options... Anyway I don't hate Lindsay Lohan, she was good in A prairie Home companion and Bobby. She could give a fair performance (not great, not spectacular, since she's too young, egotistic and can't sing) if she's under the control of a director who's not a puppet. But I doubt a serious one would give such a part to an actress who has enraged with her behaviour the cast of her last two movies.

Yes, I read, she blames the tv, that's a common problem, not only in US. I agree in a couple of famous series the acting is really depressing, but there are also some with excellent casts, or that had the merit to give finally popularity to very skilled actors who spent years doing movies without having the attention they deserved.

By the way, Ellen Burstyn is always right. :nod:

At best, I reckon Lohan is pretty good at what she does -- she's good at making the kind of films she makes.
It's just that playing someone like Stevie doesn't fall into the category of what she does. :rolleyes:

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying the girl is Meryl Streep or anything - I just also don't think she's completely without talent..and again, she's young - but I think she's got potential...if she gets her **** together.

Hmmmmm... since they'd had trouble getting the next X-Files movie going, I'm going to call Mr. Ducovny's management and suggest that Lindsay take over Gillian's part (Scully!) to speed things along. I'm sure you'd have no problem whatsoever with that. And since Hohan's so talented and all, you probably won't even notice anyway.

...and that's exactly the way we feel about anyone who takes on the Stevie role. :wavey:

Read between the lines of Lindsay's statement. She's not taking it on because it's a role she has to do, or she'll die inside because she loves Stevie so much and wants to share her inspiring story with the world. She's comparing her project to Ray and Walk the Line, two hugely successful films for which the stars won awards, made bajillions of dollars, and instantly were vaulted to the top of the A-list.

IMHO she's a fame-hungry post-teen with dubious (and arguable) talents who's just trying to ride Stevie's shawl-fringe to bank and the Oscar ceremony. Why else would she also want to be the producer of the film? If this were a labor of love for her, she's be searching for the best, most artistically driven production team out there, and casting a wide net to find the ultimate people to play each character? But who did she pick to play Lindsey? Her ex-boyfriend (Leto) who she still has the hots for ... or so I've read.

Actually, I just went back and re-read the article. You don't even have to read between the lines. The article states it outright.

You're judging her by her lifestyle and fame though. Having seen most of her films I think it's harsh of you to say she has no talent, because she obviously has plenty.
Also, there have been plenty of wonderful biopics over the years, but I would have thought most of those actors who took on those roles did so simply because they were great roles to play. Lohan's motives mean little to me if she pulls it off. Of course it would be a different story if she does a terrible job. But really, as I said before, if she's working with a great director and writer, they could help her turn in a great performance - which I think she's more than capable of myself.
Oh and Cameron Crowe would be a great choice!

I don't think anyone here is going to be entirely happy with who they choose, whether it's Lohan or a unknown.
And most of the suggestions I've seen before have been way too old to play young Stevie, because let's face it, the film is going to focus on the 70s and 80s, because those are her most celebrated years.

Right. I would tend to agree there...and I agree with your last post as well. People are juding her by her lifestyle rather than ability.

Though even that is a matter of taste, so whereas I thought she was good in all I've seen her in others may find her to be horrid..whatever. And I was going to mention as well..Walk The Line, Ray, LaBamba, Coal Miner's Daughter, Sweet Dreams etc...were those all made because of some undying love and such? I really don't know but I wouldn't have though so...just movies - intended to make those who are making them money. I just figured that the nature of the beast. I just think it'd be cool to have a Stevie movie...and I agree that Cameron Crowe would be awesome with this project.

[trackaghost]

I totally agree Deanna.
I mean Walk The Line, Joaquin Phoenix wasn't the one who got that project made, he was simply offered the part. I imagine it was the same for most of the films you mentioned.
What's funny though is that Lohan is obviously a fan since she did cover Edge Of 17. I mean her version was bland, but it wasn't entirely terrible. None of us really know how big a fan she is.

[Serrart]

I agree she doesn't really have to be a fan. A stevie movie would be fine but do you think nobody thought before her to do it?. The problem is putting all the parts together. Brad Pitt knew something about it since he tried for five years to make a movie about Jeff Buckley but his mother refused till he preferred to quit. Now a biopic produced by Buckley's mother is in pre-production.

I just think nobody would give Lohan the chance since she's unreliable and especially too young for the part. She should play with prosthetics for most of the film and that's something very difficult even wor actors with a strong curriculum. I guess she's talking about it because CAA is trying to put up one of its depressing packages to sell to a studio. Luckily someone would come out with a better project about Stevie, she deserves it. And it would be most likely to happen if Dreamgirls would be a hit.

Prosthetics? Does Stevie have an extra appendage that Lindsay doesn't have? :lol: :eek: :xoxo:

The kinda neat thing is that although Stevie's look has changed over the years, she has not aged that much. If you strip away the layers of makeup and hair extensions, it's pretty much the same Stevie underneath, give or take 50 pounds or so. :eek: I don't think a fatsuit would be such a big deal to pull off. :eek:

You mean Lindsay Lohan could look like a forty years old, or even an almost sixty years old without the aid of a heavy makeup? She would barely look a thirty years old, I think.


Romy

[JazmenFlowers]

the fact that the idea of a "fat suit" has even wedged itself into this discussion blows my mind. :confused:

also, I thought the movie is supposed to be based around FMac/Stevie at the height of their fame, so that would make Hohan pretty perfect in terms of age.

the fact that the idea of a "fat suit" has even wedged itself into this discussion blows my mind. :confused:


Come on, it's the ledge. That's par for the course.:shrug:

You mean cutting Klonopin, Clinton and the Dance years? That would take out a lot of drama, and a typical Hollywood feelgood happy ending.;)

Then I stand corrected; I guess it was wishful thinking that the movie would have covered her Klonopin years, which would have definitely required a fatsuit. And as far as I am concerned, that would have been the most compelling part of any movie. But alas...

So no need to get our knickers in a bunch about the "f" word! Geez... :lol:

But the story doesn't really end there. That's just like a movie about Elvis's life ending in the early 1960's. Indeed, one could argue that the movie could be just about the arc of Stevie and Lindsey's + Stevie and Mick's relationship and breakup... but there was no clean, tragic end. Thirty years later they are still working together and are a part of each other's lives- for better or worse. That's the story of Stevie's life- the men who haunt her and the songs she has written about them.

[ELIUD]

I am exhausted reading through the mild hysteria throughout this thread and have nothing to add. But I do want to apologize to the person who first brought up the rumors that Lohan was involved in a project like this a few months ago when I was all "bull**** - no way".



Way.

[JunkFoodGenius]

So, imdb.com ran a snippet regarding this. I'm so sorry to be so late to the vomitorium. But this project looks like it was scrolled in some girls notebook, "LL is tewtally STEVIE! + J.To as Lindsay (not that Lindsay, LULZ!!1) wuld r0x0rs soooooo much!11! He's soooo hawt!?~?! O, & Jack Black culd b Chris!!!1l11"

[paleshadow]

On the CW 11 morning news out of NYC they just talked about Lindsay Lohan wanting to play Stevie. They pretty much just said the same thing we've already heard, that she'd like to play her and produce the movie. Also mentioned the Jared Leto thing. They showed a photo of Stevie next to Lindsay and the anchors both said they didn't look very much alike.

[danax6]

Bad news spreads fast...Rolling Stone mentioned this disaster also now.

I'm scared.

[MoonChilde]

The Dj on my local radio station mentioned this too....:eek:
I'm sorry but I just can't see this girl playing Stevie...
I think Kate Hudson would do a much much better job and be more believable than Hohan

[skcin]

Eh. I don't really care. I'd see it, and undoubtedly bitch about it afterwards. I don't mind Lohan, but like Amber said, nothing will ever be good enough for most of us.

As long as they don't include Docklands, God's Garden or Silver Girl in the flick, I'll live. :cool:

[DrummerDeanna]

They showed a photo of Stevie next to Lindsay and the anchors both said they didn't look very much alike.

Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, Lou Diamond Phillips...none of them looked anything like the music legends they portrayed.

Heh...the sick side of me is getting a lot of amusement out of this whole thing - I can't even believe it's made it to news programs and radio stations...that's interesting.

And in an effort to try to put myself in the other guy's shoes...I'm guessing some of you feel about this they the way I would if this were, say, a Brittney Spears project....yeah...then I'd be pretty much pissed...so I do see where y'all are coming from...but I still don't mind Lohan.

[golddustwoman77]

Lindsay Lohan couldn't be Stevie Nicks's butthole, much less the next Stevie! Enough said.

[DrummerDeanna]

I wish you'd tell us how you really feel :p

Fleetwood Hack -- Lindsay Muffs Karaoke Tune
Posted Nov 29th 2006 12:09PM by TMZ Staff

Lindsay Lohan is really gunning for that Stevie Nicks movie role.

A day after word surfaced that La Lohan was interested in starring in (and possibly producing) a biopic of the Fleetwood Mac songstress, the red-haired party vixen was heard singing a Nicks song at celeb DJ Samantha Ronson's karaoke night at Guy's in Beverly Hills.

Lohan rocked out to "Edge of Seventeen," which she also covered on her latest album. But if she wants the to play Stevie, she'd better learn the lyrics -- co-singer Ronson was heard saying, "The song's like eight minutes long ... we don't know the rest."

[goldustsongbird]

^ :rolleyes: What a tard. Wtf was with that screechysqueal thing?

[DrummerDeanna]

:lol: I think the screaching thing was a couple of drunk ass girls attempting to do karaoke...and I must admit they sound just as good (or bad) as any karaoke I've heard...:p

[Sahara]

*very very scared* In the words of the great lady herself (Stevie, not Lindsay)

"....This. Is Serious."

Very very worrying. Oh God, please, please don't let this get off the ground! :(

[DrummerDeanna]

:laugh: I just saw another blurb about it on IMDB. It's cracking me up now...mostly because like I said, I'm pushing for it now just to piss off the haters...:p

Seriously - I just started laughing when I saw it...the damn story is everywhere!

Yeah, a friend of mine just "told me" about it today. So now it is really out there. Really bizarre.

[Livia]

I love it when people try to tell me something Mac or Stevie related. My response is always - "Yes, I knew that already. You DO realize who you're talking to, right?" :p

A friend of mine just told me about Lindsey coming to Austin. Even though I did just find out yesterday, my response was the same. LOL I sent her the url to the Lindsey board and told her, "Here's more info than you could possibly want to know." Someone is on craigslist trying to buy tickets and backstage passes. I told my friend, "What an idiot, everyone knows all you have to do is stalk the back door at the venue. He's signing autographs and posing for pics all over the place!" :)

[danax6]

It has spread to Europe now...a dj on a Dutch radio station just mentioned Lindsay going to play in a movie about the lives of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. He said Lohan is a 'big fan'. :rolleyes:

[golddustwoman77]

I wish you'd tell us how you really feel :p

Yep, I decided not to edit myself.:laugh: I'm just spreading a little truth.

[SortaSavageLike]

Anybody else remember John Wayne as Genghis Khan?

I think the two had more in common that Stevie and Lindsay. :rolleyes:

Can Lindsay Lohan Pull Off Stevie Nicks?
Posted Nov 29th 2006 5:30PM by Monika Bartyzel
Filed under: Drama, Music & Musicals, Casting, RumorMonger


I used to like Lindsay Lohan. Sometimes, I wonder if my praise was her
kiss of death, as I have a tendency to be attracted to doomed things.
Just when I started to describe her as real and talented, she became a
wild party girl choosing crappy roles. Although she was better-received
for her role in A Prairie Home Companion, it's still the first film
after Herbie Fully Loaded. And, let's not forget the recent letter she
wrote about Robert Altman in all of its "adequite" goodness, which
reminds me of a time when a certain Avril Lavigne called David Bowie
"B-OW-EE."

And now, I am tense with anxiety as I gear up to share a new rumor
floating around the film world. Lindsay Lohan might produce and star in
a movie about Stevie Nicks. While anything is possible, especially
since they have similar features, and she could potentially shock the
pants off me with a great performance, the thought of her trying to
embody the lady wrapped in black chiffon seems comparable to Rob
Schneider taking on the role of Robert Plant. To me, Nicks just has
that aura of strength and power. Whether smiling or scowling, there's
that interesting sense of something boiling under the surface. Lohan's
smile and look seem too linked to Disney films and "innocence."

What might be more promising is the rumor attached to it -- that Jared
Leto would co-star. This could just be wishful thinking stemming from
the rumors of a Leto-Lohan tryst, but it's not a stretch to see him as
Lindsey Buckingham. He has done a good job of morphing into different
roles, and has vocal talents. Furthermore, he and Lohan worked together
in the upcoming Chapter 27. But could Lohan BE Stevie Nicks, or would
it just be her with bleached hair?

Uh oh lol...I may have doomed her too as I have this same tendency :p

Actually I thought that was a pretty good little article...:nod: Ultimately I think it would be nicer to have an unknown play Stevie...but as I've said all along I'm not going to die if Lindsay lands the role....

Of course like someone else said if there's not even a script yet or anything this puppy could be yeeeeeeears in the making. If it gets off the ground at all.

Perez finally said something - Oh, and I think he lurks on the Ledge...
http://perezhilton.com/topics/stevie_nicks/forget_about_lindsay_lohan_20061130.php

Lindsay Lohan recently announced her desire to play the legendary Miz Stevie Nicks in a biopic on the famed Fleetwood Mac goddess.

Never!!!!

She's thankfully not dead, but if she were, Stevie would be rolling over in her grave and come back from beyond to smack that notion out of Lohan's head.

Who should play Stevie?

We nominate Courtney Love!

She has the life experience and she can actually sing.

THIS new video just popped up online of Love singing Nicks' classic Rhiannon.

Brazilliant!!

[SuzeQuze]

Perez is a Ledgebian! :blob1: :laugh:

boooooo . . .
lol
i really like what courtney does but it is so far from stevie . . .
but better than lohan true
and is it just me or is that vid of them singing rhiannon far less than "brazilliant!!!"
cute maybe
interesting . . ok
but thats about it in my opin.

[Sahara]

Frankly, I'd rather see an unknown make an absolute muck of it than Lohan getting anywhere NEAR this movie... :shrug:

Though yes, I reckon an unknown is the way to go.

[Johnny Stew]

They've started discussing the rumours about Lindsay playing Stevie, on a Madonna message board I visit. Here are a few of the things Madonna fans are saying:

"This could be interesting!"

"The girl can act, go watch 'A Prairoe Home Companion' and 'Bobby'. I'm sure she'll do a good job."

"Her Vagina is too loose to play Stevie Knicks."

"Maybe Lindsay is better off playing Lindsey. Buckingham that is."

"I think she'd be perfect as Mick Fleetwood."

"Lindsay is a capable actress but I doubt she can pull off a role like this."

"i just hope that witch stevie puts a terrible curse on LL."

"LoHo is very pretty and fierce! Stevie is cool, but she looks like a soccer Mom who casts spells."

"for a 50 year old woman (Lindsay) would look very good but she´s only 20."

[DrummerDeanna]

"I think she'd be perfect as Mick Fleetwood."
."

:lol: :lol:

[sodascouts]

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, this has got to be some sort of sick joke! :mad:

My thoughts almost exactly!

I don't mind the idea of a movie about Stevie and Lindsey. Their lives are movie material! But I loathe Lohan and the thought of her playing my favorite female singer with her little boyfriend as Lindsey.... oh no. She is so annoying and not exactly Oscar-worthy in her performances (IMHO). No, please no!

[sodascouts]

Though I have to admit that Jared Leto as Lindsey is actually not that bad of a thought.

^Put some curlers in that long hair and you're done!

OK, after seeing this photo, I admit Jared could pull of Lindsey. But still!

"Her Vagina is too loose to play Stevie Knicks."



Welll.......
