Mr. Dude Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 The more I think about it, the more I come to the realization that Jim Brown should play Frank Ferrer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jolielaide Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Man, I'll settle for a Marc Canter documentary. The GNR story is a great one and oddly inspirational in a way (save for the whole drugs ruining lives thing, of course.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Dude Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'd really like to see Steve Buscemi play Paul Huge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I'd really like to see Steve Buscemi play Paul Huge.I know it was funny for a while but I think it's very disrespectful against Marc.Let's wait and see what happens. It's not an easy project to realize but who knows. Mabey the people involved can manage something cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysteron Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) Eddie the Eagle Edwards got his film eventually made, they changed everything, 10 per cent of the original script and story still stand after over a decade.Making films is a brutal business Edited June 13, 2015 by Mysteron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djs2130 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 You would need to get all virtual unknowns to play the members of GNR. I would watch anything GNR related, but if Jared Leto is Axl, it's gonna be a joke. This has the makings of a complete bomb in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djs2130 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) I think the movie should be seen from Marc Canter's perspective for most of the movie. He would be the narrator, but the story of the band and the individuals would be the real plot line. He could still narrate when the band goes on the Hell Tour even though he wasn't there. Or you could switch to other members narrating at times to get their personal take on what was going on. If done well, it could be a great movie because it's a great story. No known actors though or it will be stupid Edited June 13, 2015 by djs2130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysteron Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Marc could contact Joel Miller who did the Still Life movie with Dizzy. I am sure he went to school in Kent near me, not sure though. Has a decent touch with films though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 my gut feeling is that this project wont actually make it off the ground, but if it does, it'd be really cool to see "the hell tour" on the big screen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyndaRose Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 my gut feeling is that this project wont actually make it off the ground, but if it does, it'd be really cool to see "the hell tour" on the big screen and hopefully I can see it here in the Netherlands, in a nearby place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknroll41 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I'd really like to see Steve Buscemi play Paul Huge.Quentin Tarantino is the only director for this.In all seriousness, my opinion is that Martin Scorsese would suit a GN'R movie project well, but only if it covered the UYI and break-up periods, where the band's drama and excess ended up getting the best of them and therefore causing them to implode.But it seems that this project that Canter is working on is only going to cover the club days and maybe the release of Appetite. Covering only that era would help the film feel more grounded and self-contained, but covering all of the eccentricity and drama from the UYI tour that lead to their implosion also seems like it would make for an interesting filmI guess in order for the latter to work, Axl would have to be portrayed as the main character in a Charlie Foster Kane-like fashion (anti-hero). But it seems like Marc and the people he's working with on this would rather have all the classic members portrayed as an ensemble and equally share the role of protagonist.I'm not sure what the right approach for this is...what do you guys think?

Little EMO Annie Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I think Marc should let this go. It is not his story to tell. It is not his business to mind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChineseIRS Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I think Marc should let this go. It is not his story to tell. It is not his business to mind.The movie will be based off of his book. And he lived the story. It is his business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNNER PT Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Marc ... doesn't Slash have a movie company or something?I know he only makes horror movies but, have you ever thought about asking him to help you with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recklessroad Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I'm not the one trying to make this movie. It's not my project. Some really cool people have optioned reckless road for a movie and they are the ones who will have to figure out how to make it into a movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Whatever they make and I hope those "cool" people are some big shots cause if they are making a movie on Guns N' Roses then it should be an epic movie and not some B grade movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek_vinyard Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Is it just me or does Matt Damon look a lot like a modern day Axl in this recent pic?http://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/celebrity/matt-damon-has-a-ponytail-and-hes-totally-pulling-it-off/ar-AActl5J?ocid=ansET11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foghat43 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I can't imagine any actor portraying Axl and doing it justice...no way anyone could capture that charisma, or X factor, or whatever you want to call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early days definitely Mean Streets /Scorsese. UYI is more Paul Verhoven /Showgirls.CD is Pulp Fiction/TarantinoThat's more a full biopic movie. But Reckless Road could use a less big name. Someone to capture the early years. The whole street scene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
