Cast of new biopic

[Pacific Coast]

The Beach Boys?

[Gertie J.]

literally--yes.

[alf wiedersehen]

Wow, that looks nothing like Dennis. At least with other ones, I can see some sort of resemblance..

If Paul Dano doesn't talk out of the side of his mouth, I'm getting a refund.

[Disney Boy (1985)]

You honestly saying that good-looking guy on the right resembles goofy little Al?

That's guy facial structure is similar. They both have "smaller" faces.

That same thought passed through my mind though: "It's as is if The Beach Boys were a group of singing models."

Whereas in reality they were one of the most unconventional looking groups around: tall, awkward Brian; cheesy, balding Mike; short, goofy Al; cute, chubby Carl; handsome, wild Dennis. One Direction they most certainly were not. The photos above however would lead you to believe otherwise...

So is the ways of Hollywood...

[Disney Boy (1985)]

''That's guy facial structure is similar. They both have "smaller" faces''.

Ha, that immediately reminded me of a spoof article I once read in a humour magazine, in which they described Leonardo Di Caprio as 'too-small-faced Titantic star Leonardo Di Caprio'. It made me laugh for about a week.  

[Dudd]

Who's playing Dennis and who's playing Mike?

[Micha]

The Beach Boys?

After they're through playing the Beach Boys, the same cast will be portraying Take That.

[Emdeeh]

I was thinking much the same thing -- casting the Beach Boys as the original boy band -- never mind whether the actors bear any physical resemblance to the real-life person they're portraying.

[lostbeachboy]

Judging by the casting, this movie is gonna blow chunks!

Why don't they just cast Justin Bieber as Dennis Wilson in The Drummer. 

[Dudd]

Aw, that's a bit harsh. At least they got Paul Giamatti

[slickman9696]

I guess if the movie is about Brian Wilson, it doesn't really matter who's playing the rest of the beach boys. If they're casting a Melinda and Landry, I assume we're going to see a lot more of him, and not so much of the boys. So if their casting doesn't matter much to the story, then it might be high on their priority list to cast people that look like them. Also, if Cusack is playing older Brian, I guess we should see who they're casting as the older beach boys. Those might be the more important roles to worry about.

[lostbeachboy]

Aw, that's a bit harsh. At least they got Paul Giamatti

I hate to be harsh but these actors look nothing like the people there playing.

[Cyncie]

But, what you're seeing here are the actors in glamour mode. If they're good actors, though, they can adopt the look and mannerisms of the characters they portray.  Actors have been known to gain weight for roles, and the right make up and costuming can do wonders. Just because they look "pretty" here, doesn't mean they won't more accurately represent the band on screen.

[Peadar 'Big Dinner' O'Driscoll]

apart from Dano, they look like a boyband

[JohnnyQuest]

They need to find an actor that looks more leprechaun-like to play Jardine.
We also need a more handsome Denny because there should be no way in hell Mike Love stands out over that beautiful surfer hunk.

[lostbeachboy]

I have my ideas for the name of this boy band...one direction, nsync, backstreet boys, new kids on the block, the wanted!

Oh wait those are takin...

Looks like you were right... these post-makeup publicity shots just leaked to TMZ:



I've conferred with AGD and can indeed confirm that these are not the Beach Boys like you may suspect but the actors for "Love and Mercy"! I know, I know... I was fooled at first too!

[Chocolate Shake Man]

The Beach Boys?

Ha. That's ridiculous.

Good to see how standards established in the 90s have influenced the casting of a band from the 60s.

[Eireannach]

Those shopped pics are awesome.

LOL!  Looks more like the paparazzi got some "Stars without makeup" shots for the Enquirer.

with the right haircut and dated clothing it won't be bad at all I think.
