Look at June Carter Cash. She rode on the coat tails of a famous man.

No YOU are so funny. June Carter was a big deal before Johnny Cash ever came into her life. She was famous before anyone even knew who Johnny Cash was. I don't know where you get that she rode his coat tails!

The Carter Family was great back in the '30s & '40s! Ken Burns even did a documentary on them.

Stevie loved the Carter Family so much that she even sang "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" as a child.

i think to have mass appeal, there needs to be something more. fleetwood mac was huge in the 70s, yes. stevie was huge in her own right. but neither is huge anymore (sorry again). they both still have a following (all of us) - but despite what someone wrote at some point in this thread (too lazy to go find it to quote), stevie nicks will NOT be on the cover of Time when she dies. she may make the cover of Rolling Stone.

Well maybe when she dies..we can all get together and count magazine covers...

There was a buzz around the Cash film from the start because of the subject matter, but of course the casting, the marketing and the awards it received played a big part in giving the film an appeal beyond just his fans. Obviously.

Yet somehow this formula for successful film-making won't work with a movie about Stevie?

I know exactly what you and johndoe said and what was implied. And that was that Stevie isn't as famous (or as iconic - whatever) as what's his name and therefore a movie about her would be "a minor hit".

And CHRISTINE AND JOHN ARE BORING.

Don't you think boredom is subjective? I think John & Chris are interesting. Watching people impersonate John & Chris for TV or movies would keep me entertained.

I'm sure in real life they are pretty funny and interesting people. Not to mention the immense talent, especially Christine, whom I believe got way better musically as she aged. She never lost a thing. HOWEVER, her persona would have to downplayed as kind of a wallflower/wise old owl to the wild child, drug crazed young nubile Stevie Nicks in a movie. Come on David, they could cast Bea Arthur as Christine and no one would flinch.

Probably they'll rate it "B" for Boring, or "L" for Lame, or maybe "I" for Innacurate.

I don't think anyone's life is boring, and definitely there are many aspects in John and Christine lives that are interesting, the important thing is how a story is told. For instance, Konchalovsky made a film about Stalin's private projectionist and it was brilliant and very intriguing.

LMAO pg-13? i just doubt they'll get stevie's personality downpat, unless maybe they worked with her. wouldn't it be great if she wrote the script?
