Does the Christine character appear in that story?

I'd also like to some Tom Petty scenes, when she asks to join the Heartbreakers and "the conversation" over dinner when he tells her she is capable of writing her own songs for TISL.
The klonopin days when she falls and hits her head on the fireplace ledge and starts to realize that the drug is killing her; and then having her assistant take her klonopin dosage and nearly overdoses.
Something with Sheryl, maybe the story behind the rumors of her joining FM and then it not happening (did Sheryl really rethink her decision or did Lindsey or Mick veto it?)
And also a scene of one of the many infamous parties at Stevies house in the 80s.

If they were going to do a Fleetwood Mac movie, I would bet that it would most likely be centered around the Rumours gang. I could see it starting with the failure of the Buckingham Nicks album and their subsequent drop from the label and Bob Welch's departure from FM, and then ending perhaps with The Dance, which comes full circle and in theory shows everyone at peace with each other. Of course, we know that's not the end with Stevie/Lindsey/Mick/John but it's the end of the Rumours era technically speaking as it was Christine's last hoorah. And then obviously the movie would encompass everything (well, not everything, but whatever pieces are cohesive enough and interesting enough) in between.

Yes, she does and she is played by Vera Farmiga. Why don't you come down to the Christine forum and talk to us about it? We are very excited.

Also, since the woman is probably going to do her own piano playing in the film, that means you have to go see it and return and talk about it here.
