Just to clarify...this film will be widely released in theaters, right? It's not a made-for-TV program?

1) That Davern kid does have a slight Carl Wilson resemblance going on (if you look long and hard - and there's gonna be make-up and hairstyling for the movie as well, plus some acting), whereas Rogers is just a pretty blond boy. Nothing much jardiny about him, judging from the photos. Oh well... actors not really looking like their parts doesn't mean it's going to be a bad movie. Walk The Line was decent, and the main duo didn't look anything like Cash & Carter.



2) How about renaming the thread at hand after the actual film title? Wink Love & Mercy: The Lives, Times and Music of Brian Wilson



3) For reference purposes:

Brian Wilson




Carl Wilson




Alan Jardine

It's pretty cool this movie his happening.

Brian's book and this movie being released at the same time. 2015 will be a busy time for the smiley smile board.

Alan Jardine


This guy has no resemblance to Al, doesn't come even close to Al's boyish charm & grace. Plain awful choice.
It's not the 1st time of miscasting, but at least in previous BBs movies the actors who played Al had got sth. from him looks-wise, some of his signature mannerisms.

Update:

http://variety.com/2013/film/news/graham-rogers-brett-davern-join-brian-wilson-movie-exclusive-1200503217/

"Graham Rogers (“Revolution”) and Brett Davern (“Awkward”) have joined “Love & Mercy: The Lives, Times and Music of Brian Wilson” as members of the Beach Boys.

Rogers will portray Al Jardine, and Davern will play Carl Wilson, Brian Wilson’s younger brother. The surf rock band formed in 1961 and became hugely successful by the mid ’60s."

I just did an image search to see what they look like, and with both names Google suggested to additionally search for "shirtless". This is going to be some sexy Beach Boys. Judging from the 1967 Hawaii picture of the shirtless originals, I must say these two look even less like Carl and Al when they are shirtless. Smiley

I'll just leave this here....



Not bad huh?  I think with the right hair and clothes (and hopefully a few extra pounds) he could be a very convincing Brian.

Canadian singer Jay Ferguson would have been great to play Al but he may be too old now.

Quickly checked his image & I think I'll agree with you. At least, there's some sort of similarity between him & Al. That said, Ferguson is not an actor. Musicians don't play musicians. It's a fact.

I'm discouraged to read that this is being directed by Bill Pohlad, whose chief qualification seems to be that he's the son of a billionaire and has only one other directorial credit to his name (from 1990, not well-reviewed).  The writer, Oren Moverman, also wrote the Dylan biopic "I'm Not There" which I consider to be an interesting but ultimately failed experimental film.

I think it's the best movie of the last 10 years.

It is somewhat disheartening, however he has produced a number of incredible films in recent years, including The Tree Of Life and Into The Wild....hopefully he learned something about directing while working on those movies.

It seems nobody mentioned yet that "Brian" posted on Facebook:

Yesterday (July 15th) was the first day of filming for "Love and Mercy," the Brian Wilson feature film.



On a separate note, Elizabeth Banks is not playing Marilyn as some sites assumed, but she will obviously be Melinda.

This is good news. Looking forward to what I hope is a very good film. It's also interesting that it won't be a biopic, so less talking about if I Get Around will be a smash or not and more focus on Brian as a personality. The TV films that I've seen have left little impression on me. Although the actors for Murry and Mike in American Family were convincing enough!

I see that some filming was recently carried out at EastWest Studios (formerly Western) for the movie recently.

The biggest problem I have with this casting is that Graham Rogers (Al) is taller than Paul Dano (Brian)

If exclude the weekends, tomorrow will be the 11th filming day. Having read somewhere that the standard time of movie-making varies from 3 months to 1 year, the film would be completed in 2014, that's for sure. Then we'll wait for a theatre release, then DVD & free digital downloads. So, if my calculation is right, we'll get it in circa 2015.

That's false. There could be other logistics that make it impossible to release the film by 2014 but other than that there is absolutely no reason why a movie being filmed in the summer of 2013 couldn't be released in 2014. My guess is that we will see a Summer 2014 release.

They do LOTR stuff to fix that I'm sure of. This should not be a limiting factor. Would be hilarious to see Al talking to Brian at the same height in the studio. I would fall over laughing!

That's a fair point of view. Fingers crossed your logic does work & we'll see this movie sooner.

I hope they don't fix it.
