After the success of "Ray" I've found out about many music biopic that will be coming out in the close future:
1.Janis Joplin: The Gospel According to Janis
Release Date: Summer 2006
Star: Pink (tentative)
A sympathetic look at every little piece of the soul shouter's life...
2.Brian Jones: The Wild and Wicked World of Brian Jones.
Release Date: ?
Star: Leo Gregory
An account of the Rolling Stone's last days.
3.50 Cent: title unknown
Release Date: Late 2005
Star: 50 Cent
oh well...the bullet-riddled story. Will be directed by Jim Sheridan (In America)...
4.Bob Dylan: I'm Not There
Release Date: 2006
Various Stars
This one sounds very interesting...Dylan will be played by multiple actors, among them a woman and an African American boy. It will be a surrea take on the rock icon's career. Will be directed by Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven)
5.Kurt Cobain: Last Days
Release Date: 2005
Star: Michael Pitt
The tale of a Cobain-like star's suicide...directed by Gus Van Sant (Elephant, Goodwill Hunting). Don't ask me why it won't be about Cobain himself...
6.Johnny Cash: Walk the Line
Release Date: November 18th, 2005
Star: Joaquin Phoenix
This one seems like the biggest of all these...an ambitious exploration of the Man in Black's love life and early fame. Reese Whiterspoon will be June Carter, and another interesting fact: while Jamie Foxx lip-synced to vocals performed by Ray Charles...Phoenix does his own singing in the film...and learned to play guitar from scratch!!!!!!!
7.Shawn Fanning: title unknown
Release Date: ?
Star: ?
Not a musician, but sued by lots of them...MTV Films takes on the story of Napster's founder. This movie might mean we could see some famous actors playing the members of Metallica.....who knows?.... ;D
