A "Teen Titans Go To The Movies" about a supervillain making Movies about musicians as a cover to steal components for a super mind manipulation device would be amazing!
But it won't be that.
I hated Bohemian Rhapsody. Fell asleep about forty minutes in and next thing I know they were playing Live Aid! Now if that's in a film about the greatest ever (as it says on the press release) then what chance has a Richey film got?
"I'm miserable depressed and good looking"
"I'm miserable depressed and have joined a band with my friends"
"I'm miserable depressed and in a band. Oh look I cut my arm."
"I'm miserable depressed but my band have had some chart hits"
"I'm miserable depressed and fucking off".
Music Biopics are the equivalent of vanity publishing for writers.
Pink Floyd The Wall only worked because it was inspired by an album. Not the band's tedious upbringing.
A film based on the music and using Manics songs would be more interesting than a race to the bottom trying to keep up with modern trends.
Still what year is it? 2019? How's this for dodging a bullet, if the film was made in the late 90's it would have been a Richard Curtis Romantic Comedy about a Welsh musician who disappears to escape the pressures... Only to find love at a service station with an incredibly beautiful but strong willed waitress.
