Usually the subject matter is not directly involved or has no say in the matter in these kind of endeavors. There needs to be some distance and objectivity. Otherwise, it would become a vanity project . Most often, the subjects are long dead before a movie would even be conceived.
Instead of a salacious docudrama of Stevie's life, how about a serious documentary which focuses on how Stevie has made a worldly impact in the field of music, as well as the connection she as forged with her legion of fans, on a deeply loyal, personal and emotional level? I'd rather have her depicted in reality. Her life is a movie that wrote itself. I see no good for it to be interpreted with actors and a screenplay writer. As some have noted, Stevie's appeal is not universal, yet she still has a substantial audience.
While it might seem entertaining to see her story portrayed and interpreted by someone else, the likely outcome might not be so satisfying. The novelty of it will wear off quickly (as would as Fleetwood Mac movie of similar nature). I'm afraid it would likely become a parody-of itself. The movie world, and the world in general, isn't calling tout for this; just a few enamored actresses. If anything, it would be on cable network, and do just as welll as Stevie's In Your Dreams DVD documentary.
