Uh-oh. Does it mean it could really happen?

catinthedark · #1 11-30-2006, 11:29 PM

any of you who get google or yahoo alerts for stevie or fleetwood mac... have you not noticed a HUGE number of newspapers and blogs have picked up the lindsay lohan story? many have reprinted the original syndicated wire copy, but a fair number have written their own, too. either way, it is getting a lot of play. which leads me to think... this could be a sign it's going to happen? if they're treating this like a test balloon - ie. let's float this idea out there and see what kind of reception it gets - i'm thinking it could. i haven't read every single story because, frankly, i'm a little sick (and sickened) by the idea. but i haven't seen much trashing of the notion.

i said in my original post in the other thread that i didn't think there was a hope in hell that stevie and/or fleetwood mac would sell the rights to lohan. now... i'm not so sure.

thoughts?

i've been getting a ton of alerts, too. and my friend told me about it today! i was like, thanks for the news ...

it'll be interesting to see what happens ... it's certainly gotten more press than i thought it would. i'm less against the idea than i was when i first heard about it ... as others have said, nobody would really be good enough for me, so why not LL?

LOL...don't get me started!!! I somehow have become some sort of Lindsay defender on here....I really don't mind this and I think she could pull it off and I think she's talented...even though she's a total flake and apparently whore (hangin' with Paris and Britt one just sort of absorbs that title)...I think she's ok...

well, let me add my $0.02 - my insides aren't ripped out over this, but I can think of people I'd rather be in the lead role.

I think Stevie's management will turn down Lindsay Lohan's request. If Stevie hasn't even written her book, there really isn't foundation for a screenplay. I think it's too early to tell Stevie's story anyway.

If I had my druthers, they'd cast a complete unknown or someone relatively unknown. I think too often in these biopics, it just ends up seeming like more of a tour-de-force for a famous and/or recognizable actor than anything else.

If it's an unknown in that part, you don't have any preconceived notions about them... good or bad.

But there's always the chance that Lindsay Lohan might be able to pull it off. At the very least, she's generated a lot of press for Stevie, and even if she doesn't ultimately end up playing her, there's a good chance that all of this talk will get the attention of some big-wig somewhere, and they'll realize that Stevie's life would make a great film.

I'm with you man - an unknown cast with the vehicle to make them STARS!!!!

but just for kicks. . .
who would you pick to play the key roles if age etc weren't important.
so pick any actress or actor who has ever lived . . .

my first thought picks . . .

Mick - The really tall alien in "Close Encounters of The Third Kind"

John - Humphrey Bogart

Christine - Dixie Carter with a dye job

Lindsey and Stevie - Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. . . .or
- Abbot and Costello
- Godzilla and Monster X

(okay lindsey would be Charlton Heston - "God Damn You Lousy Stinking Apes!!
and stevie would be Halle Berry )

If it were an unknown that wanted to play the part - we probably wouldn't be having these discussions cause it probably wouldn't get much press. It's getting press cause it's Lindsay Lohan. I doubt it will even happen... Not any time soon anyway. If there's no script written that alone can take years to get in place before they even begin to consider shooting it... She's 20 or something like that right now... Maybe if she puts it out there now that she wants to play her - then by the time she's 27 or 28 years old, the same age Stevie was when Rumours hit, maybe a script will have been written and all the other ducks are in a row and she'll be ready to go.

I think it is so funny that people cannot separate Lohan the person from Lohan the actress. Clearly, she is a good actress as judged by the public and her peers and higher (like Streep and Fonda who praised her acting ability) -- yet, her partying like any other girl that age prejudices people against her. I mean, with all due respect, and by her own admission, La Nicks likely partied WAY harder than Lohan at that age (if not older) and she slept with many a man, many of which were married

Yet, La Nicks does not get the same harsh judgment, assuming that Lohan is indeed a whore, which there is no actual proof of other than the circumstantial evidence of partying too hard

To be fair, Lohan the slut coke whore would appear to be type cast for the role

And you call yourself a real fan.

Stevie would probably slit her wrists if she saw this.
