Paul Dano as Brian Wilson
It is amazing. Everything's done right, I think. In fact, I was scrolling down to scan this thread, and mistakenly thought: oh, a BW piccie at the pool, nice, and went down farther, only to discover that it actually wasn't BW but the man portraying him... so there is definitely something very, very right here.

Nothing new, but a higher resolution photo of Dano as Brian.
Brian's been taken off the producer billing.

Can't see that as any sort of significant problem.

Here's a quote from the director Bill Pohlad, from the LA Times back in 2011:
I have no interest in making a biopic.…What's fascinating to me is to look at the different elements in his life, like that super-creative period when he was doing Pet Sounds and the later part when he was redeemed.…You don't have to know the music here in the same way you didn't have to know the math in Beautiful Mind…What we want to do is let you experience the story in a personal way.
I doubt there will be much Beach Boy music in it because the rights to it are very expensive. The last film project to feature a lot of original Beach Boys music, American Family, cost millions of dollars in music rights, to the point that it took up almost one-third of the total budget.

I place my bet (& just being positive) that there will be orig. BBs music on OST. If a little.

I think you're incredibly wrong.
I think there will be as much Beach Boys music on there as needed. I'm not sure how the movie is structured or what it'll be like, but whenever an original Beach Boys record will be needed, I'm sure it'll be used. This is a big Hollywood production about Brian Wilson, given the blessing by Brian Wilson. There will be Beach Boys music.

It's an independent production. It's not a major studio financed movie or a movie financed by a big TV network like ABC (American Family). It was financed by individual investors. I guess we'll know when the movie is released. It may also use non-original versions of Beach Boys songs. They can show Paul Dano singing a song at the piano as he writes it rather than having the original record playing.
I can't find a link to the quote for what the song rights cost for "American Family," but remember an interview with John Stamos in which he said the cost for using original recordings of Beach Boys songs ran into the millions. I looked up the movie on IMDb, and it only listed 15 songs total, but I'm not sure that was the definitive list or not. In any case, it's not uncommon for the rights to a major hit to run into six figures for one use.

Expensive or not, it's all boring, I'm not here to discuss business side, I'm waiting for seeing the movie (read for entertainment), so I seriously hope you are wrong & even if not - well, at least we'll get to hear the actors' singing & for fun compare them to original voices, did they manage to replicate the sound of The BBs & stuff (read fine acting).

Considering the movie is going to be a large chunk of Brian's life with Landy and afterwards, there may not be a lot of time devoted to the Beach Boys years, anyways. They only have to feature maybe four or five key tracks to highlight his biggest hits with the Beach Boys. The rest of the film can use his solo work. They might use a mixture of the old studio recordings with freshly done remakes. Brian himself mentioned that he liked John Cusack's singing, and Paul Dano said he learned piano before undertaking the role. It would seem natural that those actors did at least a bit of singing and playing themselves. It would make a better match for their speaking voices than the way it was done for a piano-and-voice scene in "American Family," where they had the middle-aged Brian Wilson do the singing voice for the young actor who played him. It sounded completely out of place.

There is a lot of good stuff during his solo years, so I'll be glad for that too.

Well, if Brian said so, I believe him, he has a dog ear. Although, having seen "1408" in Russian but with audible English, I didn't think John had nice speaking voice, more so, it was boring. I read that there's not much difference between the actual voice & singing, & once you heard someone talking you can easily imagine them singing. Maybe John is an exception from the rule, like many are (edit: i.e. dull voice-pleasant singing & pleasant voice-singing nothing special).

For a preview of Dano playing a character as a troubled creative writer on an emotional rollercoaster, see Ruby Sparks before seeing Love and Mercy. I'm sure this has been discussed previoiusly on this thread but it is worth mentioning again IMO.

That reminds me - I had a dream last night that I met John Cusack in a shopping mall, he was surrounded by fans, and I walked up to him and asked him to do his impression of Brian Wilson. He just looked at me, and I woke up.

Hi all,
I like the way everyone is talking abut how they feel. Yet it isn't who looks like the person it is who has that best agent that gets the person the part in a movie.
