Pictures from "Love and Mercy" biopic

Thinking about how Melinda looks now might be enough to calm the beast...

Nicko1234, do you want to explain the phrase "to calm the beast" & how it relates to real Melinda? I googled it with no clear results.

To still his quickening heart.

To still his quickening heart.

Yes, that's a better way of putting it.

Love and Mercy wrapped shooting today according to Brian's twitter.

The picture they posted is concerning. Melinda looks really sickly.

I think the pic is just unflattering. She's standing directly under a light, so it's hard to even see what she actually looks like, if that makes sense.

It's up on his Facebook page, as well.

I don't get how Melinda looks "sickly" here, though. She looks great (and happy).

[Rocky Raccoon]

She's a woman in her sixties, she looks normal and pretty good to me.

That's not a good photo for any of them.

I'll go with the lighting angle description also, because to me she appears gaunt/anemic. her smile doesn't erase the negative poking thru

She appears to have lost weight, possibly too much. It's not a good pic, but she doesn't look her usual self. There may be a perfectly innocent explanation, but were I family, I'd be concerned.

I'm not a hundred percent certain what he's on about but from the looks of things he's still not happy.

I kind of don't think it's her.

[Smilin Ed H]

I believe he's Uncut claiming that Harry Nilsson is the only genius he's met...

TL: I don't know nor care what The Beach Boys are doing. Can't you see I'm busy promoting my own album so that it doesn't become outshined like the other ones?

I believe he's Uncut claiming that Harry Nilsson is the only genius he's met...

He says somewhere else that BW is not a genius, but a man blessed with talent.

[Rocky Raccoon]

I love Van Dyke but he has become a bitter old man.

[ontor pertawst]

I can't blame him. he's about to endure another couple of years of screenwriting and mythology becoming confused with "facts" that will confront him at each and every public appearance! The guy doesn't want to be pinned down when he's got an indie label to push and lots of other projects...

It's not like he hasn't been burned before by biopics...

[STE]

Already wrapped?  That was fast.

[Justin]

Already wrapped?  That was fast.

Yeah I know...I was wondering when production started?

[Lowbacca]

It's kind of a smaller production and I bet they shot most of it back-to-back (different sets of cast for different time periods). Why shouldn't they finish principal photography after a month?

[Wirestone]

She appears to have lost weight, possibly too much. It's not a good pic, but she doesn't look her usual self. There may be a perfectly innocent explanation, but were I family, I'd be concerned.

Melinda from a month ago ... Looks relatively similar.

[Wirestone]

I love Van Dyke but he has become a bitter old man.

Nah. He's just sticking up for himself against the BW machine. Remember, it's laudable when Mike does it.

Regarding this photo, this was posted by actor Jim Laspesa on FB:

"Word is getting out, the film has wrapped, and I think it's OK now to finally talk about my amazing recent experience. A few months back I was cast as one of the "Wrecking Crew" in "Love And Mercy," the upcoming motion picture about Brian Wilson's life. I am the Wrecking Crew percussionist in the film, and several other musicians cast as "The Crew" are friends and musical colleagues of mine, including Rob Laufer, Gary Griffin, Willie Aron, Chris Reccardi, Todd Jaeger and Teresa Cowles as Carol Kaye. All of these studio scenes were shot inside the still functioning Western Recording Studios on Sunset (now called Eastwest), where "Pet Sounds" and so many other Beach Boys classics were originally recorded. Amazingly, this very historic room is fully intact; untouched and pretty much exactly as it was in 1966.

We filmed our sequences over 4 days last month. Then last week, I got word that the directors wanted us "Wrecking Crew" guys featured in the film to be the entertainment/band at the "wrap party" as all the proper filming is now officially over. At first it was supposed to be an informal jam session, but then Paul Dano and John Cusack, who portray young and older Brian in the film, wanted to sing a song each with us; THEN Brian Wilson himself got wind of this, got excited, and decided he wanted to perform a full hour+ concert at the party for the cast and crew who worked so hard on the film. THEN it was decided the band would be Brian Wilson, along with most of his regular touring band, and 5 members of the "Wrecking Crew" from the film, including Gary Griffin, Chris Reccardi, Todd Jaeger, Teresa Cowles, and yours truly on drums. So, last night, for the first time, I did something I've dreamed of my whole life - I performed an entire set on drums with Brian Wilson along with his amazing band. To say that it was a moving, life-defining experience for me is an understatement."
