Re: Sex Pistols
There is an elephant in the room difference between a Queen biopic and a Sex Pistols biopic. Whilst personally I would rather watch a Pistols biopic millions of worldwide record sales and sold out stadium tours may suggest a Queen biopic more commercially viable.

Re: Sex Pistols
I agree, tho if the Elton John film also does well, the producers' hope will be that they can piggyback a possible trend. Otherwise this'll have the same audience as Sid & Nancy.101Walterton wrote: ↑28 Mar 2019, 3:19pmThere is an elephant in the room difference between a Queen biopic and a Sex Pistols biopic.

I am the only person I know who hasn’t seen BR and at some point I will watch it (probably a long haul flight when I have run out of other options) but I am probably the only person I know (in NZ) who would watch a Pistols film.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑28 Mar 2019, 3:48pmI agree, tho if the Elton John film also does well, the producers' hope will be that they can piggyback a possible trend.

Re: Sex Pistols
Do you think the Queen, Elton John and Pistols docs will have a shared cinematic universe?

Re: Sex Pistols
No but this discussion is based on the article which states:
“The success of Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody has acted as encouragement for a filmmaker whose project is set to feature the Sex Pistols”
Making the point the success of the Queen biopic is on the basis of mass worldwide fan base.

The credits cut scene for Elton John will feature a young Steve Jones breaking in to steal a piano.

My gut reaction is that it'd be something that would emphasize the sensational and lurid, which would, I think, make most of us wince.
Here’s my casting choices for the new SEX PISTOLS movie: The Game of Thrones midget as Johnny, Idris Elba as Sid, the One Directions as Steve, Paul and Glen (with a maximum of one line of dialog each) and Helen Mirren as Malcolm. I can’t wait for “Should I Stay or Should I Go” to become a hit again!

Re: Sex Pistols
Not sure whether to post here or the Specials thread.
This is news to me but in March 1978 Jerry Dammers wanted to replace Terry Hall with John Lydon???
I am sure there were plenty of bands that would have liked to have had Lydon at that time but I don’t know if Dammers actively tried to do any recruiting??
Marky can you shed some light on it???
