[Tg11]

As far as music icons go which icons should get biopics?

My top 5:

1- Prince
2- Bowie
3- A more proper biopic of Whitney Houston
4- A more proper biopic of Jimi Hendrix
5- Guns N Roses biopic

[Goshdarn Batman]

Alice Cooper. Freddie Mercury.

 

[<(o_o)>]

Lynyrd Skynyrd
Ozzy Osbourne/Randy Rhodes

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Sacha Baron Cohen as Freddie Mercury or don't bother.

 

[David H.]

2- Bowie

Watch Velvet Goldmine.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Bon Scott, Jeff Buckley, Marc Bolan, The Rolling Stones, Leonard Cohen

 

[Tg11]

Watch Velvet Goldmine.

That wasn't a proper Bowie biopic because if it were it would be based on Bowie's life in general but also it would represent Bowie in the right way...Bowie himself even said he hated that movie

 

[Tg11]

Sam Cooke is another music icon who deserves his own biopic

 

[Dave McFly]

I want a Weird Al film call it Dare to be Stupid

A big budget Michael Jackson biopic would be nice. It would probably have to be a 2 parter though like that Che Guevara movie.

 

[gwynplaine]

The Cramps.

 

[gwynplaine]

Screamin' Jay Hawkins.

 

[Alien Anal]

Richard Linklaters 6 part NIRVANA Netflix series

 

[gwynplaine]

Black Sabbath.
Devo.
Depeche Mode.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Richard Linklaters 6 part NIRVANA Netflix series

I would love to see a Netflix or HBO series about the rise and fall of the grunge/alternative era, focusing on (IMO) the most important bands of the time:

Nirvana
Alice in Chains
Pearl Jam
Smashing Pumpkins
STP

It could be amazing if done well. I'm not sure who all should play the roles but Ben Foster would make an EPIC Layne Staley.

 

[gwynplaine]

Funkadelic.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I want a Weird Al film call it Dare to be Stupid

Who plays Al? I'm thinking JGL.

I know Amy Adams is attached to that Janis Joplin biopic, but haven't heard any news.

 

[CELTICPRED]

Dave Mustaine.

 

[Silvermoth]

Lady Gaga but it should be a full science fiction/fantasy movie that no one can tell if it's real or not

 

[Victarion]

Robert Johnson

 

[gwynplaine]

Keith Moon.

 

[DarkKnight88]

A proper Elvis biopic!

They could also use CGI on the actor they pick to change his face throughout the film. Whoever they pick will win an Oscar.
