After Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman, what would you like to see next.


I'd like to see a Nirvana movie with Dave Grohl and the other band members consulting. Love them or hate them they did change the face of music.

They did Notorious BIG(great film), I want Tupac.

reply

the Tupac movie was 'All eyez on me

reply

Oh, thanks. Doesn’t look too good.

reply

as far as rap goes Straight outta compton was a worthy biopic, tupac even makes an appearance in it toward the end

reply

Would love to see a Prince biopic.

Not the most popular opinion, but I'm not a fan of biopics. They always change the true story to make it more dramatic, and I find it irritating.

reply

I tend to enjoy biopics, the really good ones ‘boil it down’ to key moments and give a fairly accurate idea of what the person was about.

I thought Bohemian Rhapsody, Walk The Line and The Doors did a good job of this yet obviously compounded some events or characters all into one.

From a war-biopic perspective we have the excellent Patton starring George C. Scott wherein we learn why he was called ‘Old Blood And Guts.’ Even while skipping important chapters in the man’s life that picture gave us a pretty solid idea about him.

I'm just a grumpy gus when it comes to biopics.

The book is often better👍

I agree

Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead. I don't think you would be able to show most of what happened though!

reply

How about Fleetwood Mac? In addition to them clawing their way to the top and having the seemingly least talented member of the group become the breakout star, there's the drama of all the band members marrying and divorcing each other, having extended affairs, hooking up, fighting and reconciling and fighting some more! Hell, they're still at it, Stevie recently kicked Lindsey off of a reunion tour!

There's enough personal drama there for a miniseries, but really, it'd play better if edited down to movie length and tarted up with gorgeous music.

reply

Thats a good one, but I don't think they'll ever get the entire group to endorse it. You'd need that to get the full, real story.

reply

Yeah, the group is STILL fighting among themselves, and whaddya bet that if someone tried to make a film they'd ramp it up and bring the whole project crashing down?

Still, it'd be a hell of a story, if not quite as intense as the real-life drama of the Bee Gees...

I thought of Buddy Bolden known as "the father of Jazz" but I understand they filmed a movie about him in 2019.

I go for Simon and Garfunkel
and Jimmie Rodgers.
