I had no idea Diablo Coady is a huge Beach Boys fan and apparently met her husband on a BBs fan forum! Anyone who what forum and her username?

Always used to think Kurt Russell would have made a good Dennis but he's too old now, what with Dennis having died too young…

I've always thought that too! When I first saw the Thing, I totally thought Kurt looked like Dennis. Even Escape from NY S.W. Plissken somewhat looks like Dennis....with an eye patch   

[SMiLE Brian]

Dennis Could of been in that movie if he had worked on his acting skills after two lane blacktop.

I am going to predict that the movie starts off with Brian laying in bed, circa mid-70's. With all the darama going on Brian begins to flash back to the 1960's or even his childhood. With this kind of approach it might be easier to squash most of the important aspects of his life into a two hour movie... whaddyathink?

I could see it starting with him backstage before the SMiLE premiere, then doing the flashbacks, and finally concluding with a standing ovation after the end of Good Vibrations, with a text discussing how he is happy with Melinda and kids now and that he recently released critically acclaimed albums TLOS, BWRG & the Disney Album.

I really hope they do a scene where Brian is in the studio recording the instrumental track for 'In The Back Of My Mind' - at the end of the song show everyone behind the glass and the session musicians looking awestruck at what they just heard...and hopefully the viewing audience will be just as awed.

I want every one of Brian's under-appreciated kick ass musical moments to be in this movie - I want the audience to get a full understanding of the genius behind the music.

I would also like them to show vocal session 5A of please let me wonder, because this video shows more of the hidden genius as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1rd9I_Wk6I&feature=related

I've never heard that before! WOW! That a cappella starting at 1:40 is breathtaking. Is that part even in the released version of the song?

[smokeythebear]

The only way you could do this movie or any book justice is to get Brian to open up and talk about his feelings. By that i mean truly talk not just saying i hear voices that wants to kill me. He touched upon the core when he said in beautiful dreamer "It killed me inside, really killed my soul", more of that needs to come out to paint a fair picture and accurate picture. What did he think while recording 15 big ones, was he just tired and not wanting to participate? did he see the studio as a jukebox. How does he see the music in his head? as notes, bars, colors?

The very best thing would be to teach Brian to use a word processor and  have him type out his own bio.

I don't see that ever happening.  I have seen him in recent interviews when asked about doing his autobiography, he states that he already did, which we know he had little to do with what is out there.  I don't think Brian has any interest in re-hashing the past.

[busy doin nothin]

Oren Moverman is a really talented writer.  The Messenger was a great script.

However, the movie should have no more than 15 mins on any events after Denny's death.  The role of Melinda should be a cameo.

[Iron Horse-Apples]

This is my brother in law. Stick a black wig on him and he could play Brian. Only problem is he's South African. Do you think the accent might be a problem?

Good likeness for a young Brian!

I've mentioned this before but Al Pacino could be a older Brian and just re-use these lines for any mention of a BB reunion in the Bio.

That would be some nice symmetry, Pacino is going to be playing Spector in an HBO movie pretty soon.

[Pretty Funky]

Perfect for the part.

I had never heard a recent Spector interview until  this youtube link last week. Creepy guy!!!

You really think he's creepy. huh. I think he's a bit "off", definitely out there for the murder, but he was indeed the "Be My Baby" sound, no doubt.
the rest of it, well, yeah. 

[pixletwin]

My God I forgot how wonderful Ronnie Spector was. Charisma and talent in spades. Love it.

I think Phil is right....GV is an edit record, and thus loses all of its credibility as a top selling #1 single. Just kidding Phil is nuts.

And he acts like Brian is the real crazy one, i don't think Brian whips out guns and shoots people. Phil should appreciate Brian because Brian gives Phil free good publicity because honestly if Brian didn't talk about Phil all the time and how great his music is, i would only know Spector for the murder trial and that would be a shame because Phil's music is great.

Keith Richards has been after her since 1964.

Facetime: 'Tree of Life' producer Bill Pohlad talks about the state of independent cinema

Pohlad, whose River Road Entertainment also produced 'Brokeback Mountain,' has made a name co-financing commercially challenging and often controversial specialty pictures at larger budgets than the independent-film world normally musters.

By Steven Zeitchik, Los Angeles Times

July 7, 2011
 
As Terrence Malick's expensive and ambitious "The Tree of Life" continues to roll out across the country, it doesn't just mark the audacious work of a veteran American director.

It represents the latest big gamble for Bill Pohlad and his Minneapolis production and financing company River Road Entertainment.

Beginning with 2005's breakout hit "Brokeback Mountain," a love story about two cowboys, and continuing with "Brokeback" director Ang Lee's racy "Lust, Caution," Sean Penn's adaptation of Jon Krakauer's haunting nonfiction book "Into the Wild," the Valerie Plame tale "Fair Game" and the family drama "Tree," starring Brad Pitt, Pohlad has made a name co-financing commercially challenging and often controversial specialty pictures at larger budgets than the independent-film world normally musters.

In the last two years, Pohlad, whose late father, Carl, was a self-made mogul and the owner of the Minnesota Twins (Bill Pohlad sits on the team's executive board), has watched many of his onetime competitors disappear and a new crop of financiers enter the independent realm. Facetime caught up with him to talk about the state of the independent market, the gamble on "Tree" and the evolution of his own company.

How has your business strategy changed since you started River Road and since closing down your distribution operation Apparition last year?

When I first started [River Road] I was interested in financing films and I wasn't involved creatively. That's evolved over time. Now we're getting to a place where we want more and we're developing and fully producing, like we're doing with the [recently announced] Brian Wilson movie, as opposed to being one of those companies that's just along for the ride.
