Let's all cast "Rumours: The Movie"

[He's So Unusual]

Lindsey Buckingham - Bradley Cooper
Stevie Nicks - Olivia Crocicchia

[Wdm6789]

Carey Mulligan is a good choice for Christine. They would need actors in their late 20s-early 30s to play the band members.

Hmm, I'm thinking:

Melissa McCarthy for Stevie
Will Ferrell for Mick
Tina Fey for Christine
Bill Hader for Lindsey (might as well stick with the proven!)
Jack Black for John

We've had Queen, we'll soon have Elton John. I've read there are also upcoming films about James Brown, Miles Davis, Iggy Pop, Jimi Hendrix and Motley Crue. The music biopic is the in-thing. They need to get on and get that Fleetwood Mac story in the works.

Though I'd update my previous choices; Starting in 1974 and ending in 1980...



Mick Fleetwood: Robert Pattinson
Might be a bit 'pretty' but he rocks a beard and he's tall...not as tall as Mick but he's up there.



John McVie: Daniel Radcliffe
He has the understated look.



Christine McVie: Carey Mulligan
I'll stick with my previous choice; She's beautiful but in a plain sort of way.



Lindsey Buckingham: Zac Efron
He's got the eyes. And he can sing.



Stevie Nicks: Taylor Swift
Brings the necessary star quality...and the idea of her singing opposite Zac Efron...wow

Elton John had input and gave his blessing to his biopic; Queen were involved in all aspects of the making of BR.... Tina Turner had control over the Broadway show about her; same with Cher and the show about her....

Can you possibly imagine all of the Rumours 5 agreeing on ANYTHING??
Especially now?

You know Stevie and her people would want so much control and stories told from her perspective... even after she's not around anymore.

You know LB will never go for that, nor KB if she represents him if the worst should happen.

Mick will just take the money.

John likely won't want to participate and rehash his life stories.

Christine...hard to say.

I just don't see an authorized/blessed FM movie. Ever. Maybe Stevie will give someone her blessing to do a movie all about HER. Maybe. But I don't see a book or movie or whatever about the band that would be green-lit by all 5.

Just my tuppence.

Robert Pattinson is WAY too handsome to play Mick lol.
I actually think Zac could be a decent Lindsey tbh. Better than Bradley Cooper like everyone seems to think.
But Taylor Swift is like an entire foot taller than Stevie lol and their voices sound nothing alike.

I'd switch around the Christine and Stevie. Taylor has blue eyes like Christine and she's taller than Stevie. Much taller.

Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory?

Someone was workshopping a Rumours musical many years ago, never went anywhere though. At the time they were talking maybe opening it in London, but maybe the book was flimsy or they couldn't get backing, or the band killed it.
