It would be nearly impossible to live up to everyone's expectations.

I agree. I think a movie where Reese plays Stevie would be panned by critics just because of that. I don't even know if Reese would even be interested in taking such a similar role. And I definitely concur that Reese just isn't complex enough of an actress to play Stevie. Stevie was crazy... good and bad. She was an eccentric visionary. Was a contributor of one of the best selling albums of all time. She had cocaine shot up her @ss. She was dubbed by Rolling Stone as the Queen of Rock. She went through rehab twice. She slept with every famous rock star ever. She's a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. A grammy winner. Cited by dozens of younger artists as a major inspiration. A fashion icon. Part of one the most famous triangles, err octagons in history. Reese is just too one dimensional, and FAR too goody goody to capture all that.
