Would Carol have received performance royalties or residuals if she would have won such a lawsuit? Or do only official members of bands get performing royalties from records? I've always been confused by that. Other than prestige, I'm not sure what studio musicians get from claiming to have performed on records. But if there are money claims involved, maybe it's more complicated than that.
At one point she was looking into legal action that she hoped would result in royalty payments to session musicians for their work on TV themes, movie soundtracks, and hit records. She felt this was warranted because these players sometimes contributed licks or other ideas that constituted creative input. Kinda all makes sense now, doesn't it?

Paul Dano playing Bryan Wilsun?? Cool! But i heard (can't remember if someone told me or if i read it on the internet) that the only good thing he ever did was Pet Sounds. How can you make an entire movie about one album??!

Who's playing Marilyn and Diane?
Anyone else notice the mislabelled photo of the original BB for the Surfin' Safari photoshoot - 1970? Who does the paper's research?
I think Elizabeth Banks is hot and am excited to see her as Melinda. Hopefully there will be some nudity in the film!

Well, if IMDb is correct, Marilyn will be played by Erin Darke and Diane will be played by Gretchen Duerksen.

You're probably joking but in case you aren't, I can't imagine how nudity would be incorporated in a film about Brian Wilson without it being gratuitous, I wouldn't bet on it.

Paul Dano Talks About 'Love and Mercy'

From Brian's Facebook:
http://www.brianwilson.com/news/2013/11/1/paul-dano-talks-about-love-mercy
"Well Oren is my friend now, and he’s a great guy. He’s a wonderful writer like you said. I don’t wanna give away what he wrote, but I will say that,
I think that he tried to capture Brian’s spirit as well as tell a story. I don’t think it’s a totally traditional biopic. I think it’s gonna be a fun and accessible film, and I think it’s hopefully going to be interesting, like the man that it’s depicting.
I think he did an amazing job cracking this story, and I can’t imagine anyone else having done it, aside from him. I know they tried to make movies about Brian for a long time, and I think music stories are tough to tell in an interesting way. The fact that Bill [Polad] got Oren to write it is really also a smart choice on his behalf."

Interview done last month w/ Paul Giamatti.
On Love & Mercy:
It's a tough story to tell, I mean the whole thing. It's mostly about Brian Wilson's nervous breakdown. It falls into two halves with two different actors. First it's Paul Dano, and John Cusack is the older one. I play Dr. Landy, the crazy psychotherapist. It's a great character. Brian Wilson had a severe freakout and his family got in touch with a psychotherapist out in L.A. named Eugene Landy who took over. That's where most of the story comes from, because the doctor was basically insane. He made Brian play in a sandbox, I mean crazy stuff.

"Dr. Landy and Brian Wilson are right out of a storybook." -Brian Wilson
"So maybe Beach Boys fans are stupid and we can dismiss the whole thing. But maybe that's a pretty snotty attitude to take; maybe something is happening here that we just ought to know about" -Paul Williams

Well they could show Dennis having his way with a girl in the studio during the All I Want To Do sessions, or Dennis having his way with any of the other Beach Boys' wives… or they could compromise and just show BW taking a dump with the loo door open, as portrayed in (I think) the Brian Wilson Project narratives.
But I hope they're better than that…

I think anyone on this board will have major issues with the liberties taken with the truth and the facts as we know them when we see Love & Mercy. What I am hoping is that a non-linear presentation of the story will add to the story that we think we all know well. I have faith in Oren Moverman, the screenwriter for Love & Mercy and the screenwriter for I'm Not There, which really was a great celebration of all things Bob Dylan.
Basically I'll take I'm Not There for Brian Wilson--that would also mean other artists reinterpreting his music rather than Brian rarities on a soundtrack. I'd take that tradeoff.
Would you? Would you take a mediocre film with a killer soundtrack, or a great film with a mediocre soundtrack?

Isn't there a third actor who plays "fat Brian"? Or was that some misinformation put out along the way?
I never knew Dr. Landy had Brian do sandbox therapy. Maybe I haven't read "Wouldn't It Be Nice: My Story" in a long time, or Brian didn't include it, or they took the sandbox out of 1967 and updated it. Or maybe it's supposed to be Brian's ''70s SNL appearance, where he played a piano in a sandbox?

I just want to remind everyone that it is a biopic - not a documentary. I'm sure liberties will be taken in the script and events will not be completely chronologically accurate. I'm excited for the movie !

I, too, am excited to see an artistic rendering of the life and times of BW….we have enough docs out there on him and the Boys. I am ready for dramatic license and I am not incensed by the lack of knowledge of some of the film's leads in the actual history of BW. This movie is art…you want science grab a biography or rent a documentary

I think the playing in the sandbox bit was referring to BW playing GV on SNL in a sandbox. At least I hope. Hate to see him on film building sand castles...

New interview with Paul Dano where he speaks a little about the movie:
There isn't, it seems, much room for levity when you take what you do this seriously. I'm glad for his sake, then, that his next film is a little sunnier. He'll play the Beach Boy Brian Wilson in the forthcoming biopic Love & Mercy, a character Dano calls "a little more goofy and childlike" and a shoot he summarises as "probably some of the most fun I've ever had". He went straight from filming Prisoners to this, and considers such a change of character "one weird payoff" in that "by dipping into the darkness it made it easier to go towards the light afterwards". Any biopic of Wilson will not be without its darker moments, however, and such characters do seem to have more of a claim over Dano than the light ones.

I thought Dano was one of the best things about '12 Years A Slave' and in 'There Will Be Blood' he gives a great performance. I'm very interested to see his portrayal of Brian Wilson; much moreso than Cusack's.

Totally, or the next 'Ray'
Also something to note if it hasn't been said already, on the imdb casting section it shows a person playing Brian Wilson 'present'. Will be interesting to see how they incorporate that, possibly as last few moments of the film?

Agree in full, Chris. For two reasons:
1. IMHO we know so much factual history by now. Even if the 'autobiography' by Todd Gold, with minimal co-operation from Brian, wasn't at all what it purported to be (but because of Landy's clear influence, it's an unmissable curio, for the fans), there is the Ames Carlin book, Timothy White's (for a wider perspective), David Leaf's work, Jon Stebbins, Paul Williams' book, and the countless articles in many magazines and papers. We can quite well put the puzzle together, and there are TV documentaries, of course, the efforts by Don Was, Malcolm Leo, the 'Beautiful Dreamer' film. And much more.
2. The life story of Brian lends itself to various forms of serious 're-interpretation', you may also read: 're-creation' here - but only in the hands of capable people, artists themselves, who know and feel what they are dealing with. There aren't that many musicians around of whom one can say that. Bob Dylan certainly belongs to this select company (as has been proven with 'I'm Not There'). Brian makes for a intriguing, wonderful subject in this respect. Perhaps Alex Chilton, Syd Barrett, John Fahey could be candidates too (a few guesses by yours truly, you have your own proposals, of course). But these would have a smaller target audience.
In brief: I can't wait to see the finished product.

I recently re-watched my favorite TV-series "Spellbinder" (2 seasons) & it caught my notice that some of the actors could easily be playing the roles of the BBs. Especially this guy (Ryan Kwanten) looks very like Brian:
Candidates for Mike, Polish & Australian; judge who better suits:
Zbych Trofimiuk as Al, kind of similar petite face structure:
And unrelatedly, here's a character Correon from the 1st season that resembled me our fellow
