The Fleetwood Mac biography - 2004
 

I know I asked this years ago. There may be new candidates now for the main roles.

Suppose they will do a TV show about the Fleetwood Mac story. What actors would you choose for the main members?

My suggestions:

Peter - Geoffrey Rush (though a bit old for the early years)
Christine - Helen Hunt
Lindsey - Ryan Phillip (he got to dye his hair black)

Christine: Helen Mirren
Mick: Vince Vaughn
John: That hobbit that's on Lost
Lindsey: I've no idea...Jake Weber just because I like him
Stevie: Sally Struthers

Mick -- Raymond Walburn
John -- Franklin Pangborn
Stevie -- Una Merkel
Lindsey -- Grady Sutton
Christine -- Ethel Griffies
Bob Welch -- Ernest Thesiger

Am I the only one who has no idea who any of those people are?? :laugh:

ok..

John:
Mick:
Christine: Cate Blanchett would be perfect!
Lindsey: Luke Wilson ?
Stevie: Sara Rue ...j/k, um.. Winona Ryder

uh, yeah that's all I can think of now.

God dammit, you fkn crack my ass up! Again. :lol: :lol: :lol:
You're not well. That's why I like you. :rolleyes:

I still say Maggie Smith should play Mick.

Remember those old infomercials where Struthers would ask for you to sponsor a child in a third-world country? Imagine Sally Struthers as Stevie:

"Do your part and help to save these poor children of Africa. Every night they go to bed without any food or decent clothing. But, with your help and monetary contributions, I can not only introduce them to the wonders of the Atkins diet, but I can wrap them up in lush chiffon robes to protect their delicate skin from the harsh weather they must endure on an almost daily basis. Send your donation now, only eighty-five cents a day, and you will get your free welcome kit consisting of a letter from the child you sponsor, a picture of that child to cherish forever, and a discount coupon for the Fleetwood Mac Fan Club. You may have lived a chiffon-deprived childhood, but don't let it happen to these poor children."

OMG lmfao :laugh:

:lol: :lol: that's so wrong :nod: :laugh: but funny...

Like Halley's Comet, this thread comes around again! :lol:

Ok, the makeup artists will still have to do some of their magic, but here's what I've come up with so far...still casting for the rest.

Check out my avatar for the answer to those two roles..... :D

:wavey:

:lol: :laugh: :lol: :laugh: :lol: LMFAOROTF!!!!!! But at least we know it'd be a great performance....

Actually, this is some good casting. But kate blanchett would freak me out as Christine, because she has such full, beautiful lips, and Christine has none...for me, that's very much a part of her christine-ness, the no lips thing - but Kate is a good close match otherwise...

Hehehehe...
 

Lindsey: William Shatner

"I've...been....down...one...time...been...down...two...times...Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn"

Brian "Live long & prosper on this" j.

fabamundo call!!! :thumbsup: ~

blessed be~

Excellent casting chilliD! The only one I would disagree with is Linda Blair - she's too old now.

I'd still go with Winona ala the Edward Scissorhands look.

I hate Winona's mealymouth, and i think i should play it before her!!!! :mad:

LOL..mealymouth??

she's all wussy...her body language and the way she talks...

lmao...then she would be PERFECT for Stevie, wouldn't she? :wavey:

NO. Stevie's not wussy. don't make me come over there... :laugh: :laugh:

Well, maybe not when she's performing...but otherwise... :wavey:
LOL wussy or not, I worship at her feet! :D

Hmmm...ok, i don't want to argue. but you can worship all you want, i'll still be hella pissed if Winona plays her in the movie.. :laugh: :wavey:

Damn, I love arguing. Ok, maybe not so wussy as ...fragile? LOL.
I would be delighted if Winona played her :laugh:

That is so gross, and you're purposely riling me up!!!!! :lol: She's too weak, stevie has very strong body language and voice. she dances around, yells, kicks her legs around, kicks her legs up, and all the while thinking she kicks ass!!!! not to mention the vortex swirling!!! Plus, the fire that shoots out of Stevie's eyes!!!
Winona could NEVER pull that off. NEVAH!!!
she has slumpy shoulders, a soft mouth, a small voice, and apologetic eyes!
and she steals things even though she's rich. She's a coward.
K-
I have to go sing Edge of Seventeen just to prove i'm right... :laugh: :lol:

LMFAO!!
:laugh: :lol: :laugh:

ChiliD..what a great selection you have..but MFM..yours is even more inspirational ( insert laughing face here.... the emotions aren't working for me today)
However, I do think Colin Firth would make a wonderful older Linds and Reece Witherspoon, a younger Stevie..can anyone do pics for me..Chili?
BTW...who's Harry Shearer?

I would hope that they never ever do a show about Fleetwood Mac. I could just imagine the horror of it all. I mean the media can't get Lindsey's birthdate correct or even spell his name right.

Please not in my lifetime.

I'd like to see one in my lifetime if it's done *right*, I mean that could be really cool-- to get the timeline straight, all the names right-- and to tell that amazing story, w all the luck, romance and drama involved....

If the Beach Boys can have a movie made about them, then why not FM? Although the Beach Boys one made me cringe at times... but still I think it would be pretty neat to have an FM one.

But timeline and details are crucial. I was watching that new 'Unbroken Chain' DVD and two things annoyed the crap out of me--saying that Danny Kirwan left before Jeremy Spencer, and then Bob Brunning saying that FM really only wanted Stevie, and that Lindsey was part of the package deal. The 'incorrect-ness' of those two points drove me up the wall!!! Seeing a movie full of inaccuracies would give me a stroke.

I'll see what I can find photo wise...later in the day.


Harry Shearer...he does about 5 of the Simpsons characters' voices, he was one of the "extras" on the original SNL cast, he played bass player Derek Smalls in Spinal Tap, he is a regular in the "big three" Christopher Guest's movies (Waiting For Guffman, Best In Show, The Mighty Wind)...he has a resume' a mile long.

Here's his official website: Official Harry Shearer site

Mick: I couldn't agree more - John Cleese-he's got the height, the wit, and the accent!

John: Harry Shearer - another great choice, Chili!

Christine: Teri Garr - Cate Blanchett's a good choice too.

Younger Stevie: That actress who plays Samantha on ER or the actress who plays Brittney on the Young and the Restless (and she can sing).

80's Stevie and with the right hair and make-up, Stevie today: Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki on the Young and the Restless)

Klonopin years Stevie: Sally Struthers!

Lindsey: Aidan Quinn, or Christian from Nip and Tuck!

Good luck getting Cat Stevens to play Peter Green! How hilarious! :laugh:

I have always thought Linda Blair and Stevie resembled each other!

Wow, Cate Blanchette looks EXACTLY like Christine in that picture.

There'd have to be several casts of characters to play throughout the years: early, middle, and late. This band has been around a while!

oohh Linda Cardelini or something like that - the ER chick - that's be pretty good - she was on Freaks and Geeks _ I really like here :nod:

Oh my god, that's her?!?!?!?! I loved Freaks and Geeks!! She needs her brown hair back though, the blonde ain't cuttin' it for me.

I love Linda Cardellini. I know a lot of her family and I've met her a couple of times. She's really sweet.

However, I think that Y&R actress would be better to play Stevie.

Susie

NO! NO! NO! AAAAAAAAAAH! LOL :eek: :eek: :eek: (Sally Struthers belting out rhiannon makes my skin crawl)

The PERFECT one would be Candice Night of Blackmore's night:

How do you post pics inside the post like Chili's (for those too lazy to click on the ones I attached)? :p

Livia....
