Brian Wilson Biopic?

So yeah, we all know they're doing the biopic for Dennis Wilson (which is awesome) but what about Brian Wilson, wasn't there supposed to be one?
I remember reading that last year and someone mentioning it again in some recent article or interview i've forgotten..
So what happened, what is going on? it would be quite cool to finally get that imhoimoomihohmhimimo.

They have been threatening to do one for decades now. It will happen one day.

Who would you guys want to play Brian? Christian Bale might be the best one I can think of.

They should let Brian play himself. Put him in a Beatles wig for the scenes set in the mid-60's.

And zip him into a fat suit for the Brians Back period

I can't think of any actors out of my head atm that looks close enough to him but then again, they're doing atm a new film about Hitchclock and Anthony Hopkins has the role, look how incredible it looks like with bunch of make up and stuff :

who would have thought ?
so yeah, maybe Christian Bale could do the part!
anyway, it's a shame nothing is coming out yet but i guess we can be happy with the fact they're doing something with Dennis Wilson and that the amazing Aaron Eckhart is taking the role, can only be good!

it'd be a stretch for bale to be childlike, plus he was already dylan. I'd be curious if he could pull it off.

Yeah something like I'm Not There, right.. that's actually a great idea, knowing all the changes Brian Wilson went through his life! but then, one solid actor doing the job right and taking care to win or lose weight to play such and such lifetime of Brian's life would be outstanding.

I really feel a more abstract approach (like what Moverman did with his screenplay for I'M NOT THERE) is the only way to make a Brian Wilson biopic that doesn't get bogged down in the kind of cliches and tackiness that ruined the TV movies. I'm cautiously optimistic that the film might be something I'll enjoy watching more than once.

Yeah, I own it and love it. But...it is very abstract and presents a world created from imagery suggested by Dylan's lyrics. Some biographical and historical information is provided but involving characters who appear to be independent from the songwriter (note that none of the characters are called "Bob Dylan" in the film). Still, if you know Dylan's songs, you recognize why the film goes in the direction it does. If you are unfamiliar with Dylan's work, you may enjoy the evocations of certain eras or be struck by particular dramatic moments, but you may miss the biographical information completely.
Another film entitled 32 SHORT FILMS ABOUT GLENN GOULD demonstrates how you can do a non-conventional biopic by presenting a string of vignettes (32 in all, naturally) that are self-contained shorts but taken together represent the arc of Glenn Gould's life in a way that doesn't feel overly manipulative.

Hm, that is very interesting and sounds quite deep, i shall check it out soon.
Guy looks talented and seems to know his stuff tho, obviously if it's a Bob Dylan film you're gonna flirt with the lyrics, since the man is all about that really..
so obviously his work for a Brian Wilson scenario would be whole different approach, but as well made, really looking forward for this next biopic.

I love Bob Dylan and the movie, whether I liked him or not, would probably be in both circumstances, my favorite movie of the last 10 years. It subverts the conventional biopic and it challenges the very notion of capturing a "whole" identity in narrative, something Dylan's shape-shifting character has been doing his whole career.
I also maintain that Whale Music has been the apex of a Brian Wilson biopic so far so this film has its work cut out for it.
