Neither were the Monkees or Sonny and Cher, yet VH1 and CBS did movies on them, respectively. We are talking "what if" here. VH1 even did a film about the first band that ever opened at Woodstock, a band that disappeared as quickly as they became famous. It could be done, but we're not talking about anything on a grand scale for theatrical release that could generate big bucks. If it were a TV or cable movie or miniseries, it could be done. They work on lower bugets, and often are more reliant on realistic casting and storytelling than the major studio productions. |
Disagree.
The Monkees were a cultural phenomenon for the two years their TV show was on the air. They sold as many or possibly more records during that time than The Beatles in the USA.
Sonny and Cher were a phenomenon twice; in the 60s (when even in the UK they toppled The Stones' "Satisfaction" from the No. 1 spot with their ultimate love song "I Got You Babe") and the 70s with their highly-rated weekly variety series and sold-out Las Vegas live shows. They created a major media stir when they divorced. |

Orlando Bloom does resemble Allan - especially near the eyes. Though when I came across some photos of him doing a very ... well, what shall I say - private hygienical act on a public beach, I lost any interest I had in him. With proper makeup and hairstyling, and the right clothes, he could look like a British rocker.
Usually when they cast these types of movies, they hold auditions and somtimes hundreds of actors turn out. They made a TV movie on Sonny and Cher here a few years ago, and I saw photos of some of the women who were auditioning for Cher. They were all dead ringers for her! None of them were famous actresses, and the girl they actually picked to play Cher was a little prettier than she was, but the guy who played Sonny looked and acted just like him, and they were both very convincing!
VH1, a cable music channel in the U.S., did a movie on the Monkees in 2000, and the cast had all the moves and music down perfectly. I thought I was watching the actual TV show when I saw this film! The actors looked just like the Monkees and even talked like them.
Paula, Rupert's eyes do look a lot like Allan's, but can he play Allan as a teenager or at 20? |
He could play the 80's Allan.I've seen him in a period drama in the mid 90s and he had wavy hair and he was very similar to Allan. As for Orlando Bloom .Actually I think we think too much of the lads to be comfortable seeing them substituted.I'd never be happy with anyone playing Allan, he's a one in a million . |
If there was a movie the only person I could see playing Allan is Antonio Banderas |
Katdowl,that is hilarious . |

Dennis, let loose a little and suspend disbelief . We're not demanding that a Hollies be made, we're just playing around and pretending that they were. Movies are made on almost every topic imaginable, so a movie on the Hollies isn't too far-fetched. Let's not split hairs about why such a movie could or could not be made. It's a subject that is fair game to any talented and imaginative film maker, who is also a Hollies fan, and wants to pay a decent tribute to them. |

Being a Hollies fan and listening to their music has made me a much nicer and chilled out person.Real life is hard for everyone.The forum is a nice little escape for us where we can communicate with a great bunch of people and indulge in our little fantasies.You know I'm right Dennis . |

Just thought I'd try to get this thread going again,sorry Dennis .I think the lead singer of the white T's (Hey There Delilah) is a bit like Tony!OK his nose is too big and he's nowhere near as cute as Tony but he has that certain little boy look of Mr.Hicks.He could play him in the forthcoming Hollies movie.Dennis you'll be first to order, won't you, ? |
