Pictures from "Love and Mercy" biopic

[RangeRoverA1]

It is an honor, and I don't mean that Giamatti would feel awkward in general, just that first moment meeting Brian in character.  I mean, if I met somebody dressed up as a person from my past that I had a complicated, emotional relationship with, it would be a little..."Oh, Hi."

I get it now, thanks for clarifying your post! Somehow I took it in the wrong direction.

ahh me too!

Sorry mate, I misunderstood your wording also........ darn emails/texts etc etc........

I wonder if in a decade or so everything on the internet will read like the above post taken from the twitter.

I also wonder if Mozart would hate rock & roll were he here today to have a word with his rock & roll counterpart.

Listen 2 tha soul medicine magik, bruh.

He'd listen, amazed, and give Brian faint praise
But he'd find modern music quite shite.
Then he'd claim he felt ill, and he'd move to Brazil
Where they shoot the dance DJ's on sight.

FWIW. I'm pretty sure that youtube clip on the previous page was filmed at the Griffith Park observatory in LA.

Al and Brian seem joined at the hip lately. I love it.

Gushy, cheesy article with lots of pics of Cusack and Banks on set:

Note Cusack's expression in the first pic....

[KittyKat]

They sure are giving a lot of access to the press during the shoot. I'm not sure that's a good sign or a bad one. It might be better to have an element of surprise. It looks like Cusack is wearing a rug, even if it's a receding rug.

the language of the future.

it's sort of like overhearing a bunch of conversations at once at the mall, recorded on a handheld cassette, and then transcribed by a robot.

Some people are just bound and determined not to like anything.

And that first shot, John Cusack looks like he is in character.

I think that's what Emdeeh was getting at . .

Exactly what I was getting at! Cusack's got the facial expression nailed.

[Dudd]

Also this recently from Banks' Twitter...

Just thought I'd put that up...

Lovin' those photos from the shoot! I was doubtful about Cusack but he has Brian's face pretty much nailed.

This is not the most gracious thing to say, i realize, but Elizabeth Banks seems to be playing Melinda too cheerful. Although i suppose this could be the more private side of her.

[Gabo]

gawd John Cusack has brown eyes and Brian has blue eyes. That's gonna be really distracting, especially because the actor playing younger Brian has blue eyes.

That's something I would never have noticed.
But, now that you've said something, I can't help but notice.

Kinda corny how they did the song titles in the pictures, but seeing "Hang On to Your Ego" was a trip.

Elizabeth Banks is beyond hot. It doesn't matter how sexy Melinda is or isn't supposed to be, Elizabeth Banks is going to be sexy and she can't stop it.

[Pretty Funky]

Melinda again described as a model. Maybe when the movie comes out with associated press we may finally learn what her career was.

What a really horrendous picture this is! "Brian" & "Melinda" look like 2 urban vampires. I know that real Melinda has kind of sly face, very determined but Brian is childlike & innocent even now, in his 70s. I very hope Mr. Cusack made that grimace for fun & during actual filming he'll be more serious & try to accurately capture Brian's mannerisms, character, gestures & other little things.

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