The movie looks great, but I think this brief teaser gives the wrong impression: that this is a good-looking but standard VH1 "Behind the Music" biopic. Maybe that's best from a marketing standpoint, but I don't think it does the movie justice, based on what people like Lowbacca have said about it. Perhaps the full-length trailer will give a better impression and make the film sound more interesting to prospective viewers, not just fans.
... which is precisely why I'll refrain from comment until I see the whole movie. Like all of us here, I've seen crappy trailers of what turned out to be great movies, and vice versa.

I wonder if the other 'Beach Boys' have seen it, and more so, what do they think about the portrayal???
RickB
Why would they have seen it, unless they went to one of the screenings ?

Hm... I think that never happened to me - vice versa certainly, I agree there!
Haven't seen the L&M clip yet, though.

So hyped. Really not sure about the Cusack scenes though. I know he's a good actor but he doesn't look like Brian at all :\
Cusack does a good job of 'impersonating' BW spiritually, which is the most important thing.
As for compliance purely regarding his physical appearance - it's NOT that far off:
This board is amazing. You post this great split image and people are still complaining about John Cusack looking nothing like Brian. He is certainly close enough and in the brief clips (especially the snip where Landy nudges his cheek) Cusack is standing there seeming just like Brian. I also think a lot of the complaints about Cusack thus far are more about the period in Brian's life on screen vs. the creating Pet Sounds period with Dano. If these two actors were reversed in age and it was Cusack that got the young Brian making Pet Sounds part I'll bet half of the angst people are having about him would vanish.
If I end up thinking the movie is not all that great it will be due to the narrative ...

I always thought that Brian looked very different in the 80's-early 90's, like he didn't look like an older version of the same guy like the other BB did. He almost looked to me like he had plastic surgery or something, the way Landy had him dressed and such, he just looked very different. So I think that it will work in the movie because Brian will so so different and so broken from where he once was.
Very good trailer, it's clear a lot of love and care went into this.

The moment where Melinda tells Brian "You need to find yourself" brought a tear to my eyes. From this brief trailer it doesn't come off cheesy. I am so excited!

Brian DID have a facelift in the 80s.

I don't think Dano looks a lot like Brian per se, but I don't feel that's a let down at all. The make up artists, hairdressers and costume designers have obviously done a good job in matching the images we know from contemporary photographs. I'm looking forward to this movie!

Someone said to me that when they saw the pic of Dano by the pool, they thought it was Brian. Complete nonsense of course, but he does have the look of vague benign bewilderment down pat.
And the hair.
Cusack,
on the evidence of this trailer and stills
, doesn't look to have that depth of characterisation... but to judge from a few seconds is hardly fair. We'll see what the whole picture brings.
Oh, and...
"Brian-Past (1960s) and Brian-Present (1980s/early 1990s)."
Don't know where you're hanging your hat, but here on planet Earth, we're up to 2015.

I know John Cusack. He is one of the greatest and most underrated actors of our time. He is also a genuine Brian Wilson fanatic. His only greater obsession in music is with the Clash. His performance will be incredible...I guarantee it.

I would like to know more on the "Old Brian" phase in the biopic, what is it gonna be about really? just the love part with Melinda? does Eugene Landy has a big role in it, perhaps the vilain?

It really does look promising - and I'm someone who generally hates biopics and prefers documentaries. It certainly looks like it has been made with an admirable attention to little details.

I'd say a movie of this magnitude deserves to be seen on the big screen. you're cheating yourself out of a superior experience if you choose to watch it on your computer.
there really is a huge difference.
There is indeed, so I much prefer to see the movie alone in silence, with all the home conveniences than in a place with annoying noises, people not shutting their mouth up talking non-stop, munching food, exclaiming if they see sth. great or horrible, the phone ringing & stuff. No, thanks.
As for hearing music in a theater setting, I can always borrow surround sound speakers from my uncle. Or not, I'm fine with Beats by Dr Dre.

I don't think Dano looks a lot like Brian
I agree in a sense that young Brian was more handsome, more strength & power than in Dano who kind of has a look of a weakling.

Really? On account of that, I think I might reconsider my opinion of him. Thanks for telling, job.

Landy as villain... hey, now there's an angle that needs exploring. Never occurred to me before. Might just work.

It is a, hm, complicated relationship, but in the end, as we see how it ended and all that it caused.. but then, it's a movie in which Brian and Melinda had their word on, so i just have no idea what the approach would be on it?? but he is in there, his role might be small tho, i would love to hear more from Lowbacca regarding this.

I am really looking forward to the 60s scenes, not super excited about the 80s stuff but looking forward to the film none the less. Seeing those snippets in the teaser of photos we know so well come to life has me giddy.

That guy's a dead ringer for Mark Linett. When they make a biopic about his life I hope they choose that guy to play Mark. But who'll play the older Mark?
