Monahan + Scorsese, Part 2! Throw in a pinch of Mick Jagger and you have THE LONG PLAY!!!

This would be awesome! by blackmantis	Feb 27th, 2007 11:20:06 AM
A Goodfellas style, cocaine fueled, swooping steadicam romp through 40 years of rock and roll history! This will make Boogie Nights look like a student film if it ever happens.
mick jagger?!?! by rhaps0dy	Feb 27th, 2007 11:20:53 AM
mick bloody jagger!?!?1
Mick Jagger is only producing... by blackmantis	Feb 27th, 2007 11:28:05 AM
...at least, that was my impression.
Mick should be acting in this by DeadPanWalking	Feb 27th, 2007 11:43:02 AM
He stole every scene in Free Jack.

MONAHAN by THE KNIGHT	Feb 27th, 2007 11:53:51 AM
GOTTA EAT!
SCORSESE by THE KNIGHT	Feb 27th, 2007 11:54:22 AM
Is getting like Spielberg... He has a thousand projects on his plate already...
Kinda like Casino... by Zarles	Feb 27th, 2007 12:01:16 PM
...but with recording studios instead of casinos. Awesome.
Scorsese + Jagger + Movie = Gimmie Shelter AGAIN by Baron Karza	Feb 27th, 2007 12:15:27 PM
Let go of this song Marty.. its time to move on.. TO CLINT MANSELL'S REQUIEM FOR DREAM SONG!!
This is NOT a weird choice for Marty. by Barry Egan	Feb 27th, 2007 12:22:33 PM
He has directed 2 great rock documentaries ("The Last Waltz" and the Dylan bio "No Direction Home") plus he has shot that yet to be released Stones docu. His films utulize pop/rock music about as well as anybody in film history. Anybody who actually knows something about Scorsese knows this a natural fit for him.
Amen To No More GIMME SHELTER... by Buzz Maverik	Feb 27th, 2007 12:26:31 PM
It's a great song, but, Marty, bubbe, the Stones have done other songs. Other groups have done other songs...This would be a good movie and I hope Monohan writes this instead of another Hong Kong remake (nothing wrong with 'em and looked how the last one turned out but I'd admire him more for doing something different)...With the music and Scorsese's repeated use of one song, have you noticed that the film brat generation is a little out of touch with their own music? I mean, THE LAST WALTZ not withstanding, these guys are encyclopedic in their knowledge of cinema, not music. Scorsese used Procol Haram's Whiter Shade O' Pale for his segment in NEW YORK STORIES but it seemed more cribbed from second-wave-film-brat Lawrence Kasdan in the big chill. I've heard that Spielberg has never had any interest in rock. Also, in the book KILLER INSTINCT, Jane Hamscher asserted that even though he directed THE DOORS, also-second-wave-film-brat Oliver Stone didn't know much about 60s music. Oddly, George Lucas (and his protege Kasdan) have been the ones to assemble the best soundtracks. Granted, AMERICAN GRAFFITI matched that era and George's musical knowledge might have stopped at that point. The important thing, of course, is that these guys know film but the same damned song over and over?
More Marty Music: by Barry Egan	Feb 27th, 2007 12:28:25 PM
How could I forget, Marty also directed the music video for Michael Jackson's "Bad."
I love Scorsese, and this project makes sesne for him.. by DanielKurland	Feb 27th, 2007 12:30:13 PM
But with maybe 7 different movies in the last 4 months announced for him, it's getting a little harder to get excited, because obviously some aren't going to be done. It's getting kind of like what happened with Tarantino last year, except I'm sure Scorsese will actually start on one of these soon. And Scorsese loves to repeat music. Bringing Out the Dead uses You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory about 3 or 4 times through the movie.
Toss in Emilio and Hopkins and you have Freejack! by kinghenryVIII	Feb 27th, 2007 12:36:03 PM
Well, maybe not but that WAS A COOL FLICK.
Scorsese and music by Chishu_Ryu	Feb 27th, 2007 12:52:40 PM
Scorsese IS a walking textbook when it comes to movie academia, but I wouldn't underestimate his knowledge of music, either. Much of that comes from his close association with former Band front-man Robbie Robertson, who helps Scorsese assemble many of his soundtracks. But Scorsese also grew up listening to music, obscure hits and popular ones alike, and he knew how to use this knowldege early on. Look at his first feature "Who's That Knocking At My Door?", which was practically a music video...
Goodfellas: The Musical by Doctor_Sin	Feb 27th, 2007 12:55:08 PM
What am I?/A clown?/Here tooooo amuuuuuuse you???
Lips GOTTA eat by Dr Gregory House	Feb 27th, 2007 01:57:00 PM
the sweet poon of a thousand sluts
sounds a hell of a lot like... by beamish13	Feb 27th, 2007 02:36:04 PM
"American Pop", which was directed by Ralph Bakshi.
...er?... by mr ahole ramirez	Feb 27th, 2007 02:41:18 PM
um...sounds interestin I guess, dependin on what race the characters are...
So, I guess no Paisan "goombahs" in this film? by Doctor_Sin	Feb 27th, 2007 02:54:02 PM
I don't know of too many Little Italy entertainers who have been in The Biz for 40 years and have successfully parlayed their R&B success into modern hip-hop. Will Joe Pesci or DeNiro play a sleazy manager?
Scorcese by Cobbio	Feb 27th, 2007 03:31:09 PM
So Mick Jagger wants to make an "epic" movie about his life, eh? I mean, it sounds cool, I guess, but I'm kind of sick of rock and roll. I realize Scorcese is one of the best when it comes to making music-based films (The Last Waltz), but I'd rather see him direct a film about hip hop or speed metal or even klezmer. I'm tired of Rolling Stones-era rock. It's become elevator music to me, and I don't want Scorcese making a film about elevator music. The other projects he's working on sound much more compelling. Then again, I'm just a voice from left field.
"Long Play" = LP = vinyl records = kids knowing shit by Doctor_Sin	Feb 27th, 2007 04:16:58 PM
This sounds like something written by some archaeological relic of a bygone "Sex and Drugs and Rock N Roll" era. Didn't punk teach anyone a goddamned thing? I can't wait for the scriptment to start making the rounds on the web. It better be good.
shut up by Shock Corridor	Feb 27th, 2007 04:17:48 PM
So rock'n' fuckin' roll is elevator music to you Cobbio? You truly suck. I think the movie sounds awesome. Go for it Marty!
Scorsese + Speed Metal = The Apocalyptic Sicilians by Doctor_Sin	Feb 27th, 2007 04:27:21 PM
With their smash hit "My Momma's Meatballs (Are Soaked With the Blood of Ages)"
American Pop? by filmcans	Feb 27th, 2007 04:33:56 PM
Sounds like a live-action version of Ralph Bakshi's AMERICAN POP.
Are the Stones doing the music? by DARTH VOODOO	Feb 27th, 2007 04:41:44 PM
Scorcese + The Stones. How can this go wrong?
Will Johnny Depp play Keith Richards? by Doctor_Sin	Feb 27th, 2007 04:51:23 PM
'Cause that is so meta and postmodern and stuff.
sounds fuckin different & cool. Look forward to it. by future help	Feb 27th, 2007 05:36:16 PM
TWAAAANNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG!
i'll take the long play... by scourge0	Feb 27th, 2007 06:56:37 PM
...right in my anus! feel the burn, said my mother!
When will Scorcese rape our childhood? by Doctor_Sin	Feb 27th, 2007 07:07:16 PM
They all do it... It's only a matter of time.
So it will detail how music declined in quality by Bong	Feb 27th, 2007 09:11:31 PM
over the decades? You did say "to hip-hop"
Punk and all that eyeliner by T 1000 xp professional	Feb 27th, 2007 10:02:34 PM
Punk and all that eyeliner fagatry that is on display because of that darned MTV sucks! You know I wasn't that excited about this Oscar bait. But now I'm jazzed about the possibilities....has there been a movie made about Zeppelin yet?
Most Hip Hop by T 1000 xp professional	Feb 27th, 2007 10:04:31 PM
has really hurt America's culture, plain and simple.
I like this idea quite a bit by Franklin T Marmoset	Feb 28th, 2007 03:20:36 AM
It will be hard to pull off, what with capturing all of those different eras of music, but if anyone can do it you'd think it would be Scorsese. As to the 'hip hop has hurt American culture' idea, I have to vote against that one. I'm not American, so maybe I'm not qualified to comment, but I don't think the music world would half as interesting without it. There's a lot of shit around these days (thanks, 50 cent), but I'd argue that hip hop has been a bigger and more important influence than punk. When the hell is someone going to make a Kool DJ Herc biopic? Or what about Afrika Bambaataa? That guy's life would make a great film.
Monahan should use his oscar glory by Kizeesh	Feb 28th, 2007 03:41:06 AM
to get Kingdom of Heaven 2 made. I just finished watching the vastly superior director's cut commentary last night and they talk about the possibility for a sequel. Sounds ace.
this film will live and die on the quality of the music by iwontwin	Feb 28th, 2007 05:31:30 AM
If the music is corny, it just wont work...
I did really like Kingdom of Heaven by Spandau Belly	Feb 28th, 2007 11:19:26 AM
The director's cut is a great movie. I'm kinda surprised at how they cut out almost all of the hero's motivation for his actions in the first half of the film. Dummies.
