She *might* be able to pull it off, which is why I am ready for a potential shocker.

Not sure on the Mick, but maybe Scarlet for Christine? She's got the blonde, the rough voice, and a certain detachment that I noticed in McVie.

As for Kurt, I totally see where you're coming from, but at the same time, he also had many years of working up to Snake with adult roles and a face that was maturing. Also, he had the benefit of an eye patch and good chin growth, which would help anyone look a little rougher.

Now, if they give Lohan some facial hair, it would definitely make for an interesting Stevie! :)

Lohan could pull it off, despite your belief that it is as laughable as casting Rob Schneider as Robert Plant.

However, I'm assuming this biopic would be able Nicks in her earlier years, since Lohan is too thin to do the later years.

I'm interested in who would play Mick Fleetwood.

And as for the link between Lohan's smiles and Disney pics, just remember that Kurt Russell was associated with Disney back in the day. That didn't stop him from being believeable as Snake Plisskin.

Interesting and funny. Early in their careers, Stevie and Lindsey had challenges with the press getting their names reversed so having Lindsay play Stevie...there is some irony there somewhere. I can’t see a movie about Stevie being widely released at a theater near you...perhaps on TV like Lifetime or even a major network. I’m not tickled about Lindsay playing Stevie but I can’t think of who is suited to play the role. A long time ago I would have thought Linda Blair or SJP based on looks. I've wondered if this story would ever turn in to a movie - but the longer it takes to get it done, the less people are going to be interested in seeing it.

I just don't see it. I don't think Lohan can pull off Stevie Nicks. I mean the recent admission, albeit by her mother, that she is an alcoholic is a good start, but you have to have better addictions than just a little booze to be Stevie.

The one thing no story has reported on yet, is whether Nicks wants her story told, and does she think Lohan should be the one to do it.

A comment Nicks mades several years ago was that there were still too many people alive for her to tell her story.

Lets face it. Nobody that plays Stevie Nicks is going to capture the magical essence that she possesses. I wasn't thrilled when I first read that LL was going to play Stevie, but then I started thinking about who could...and I came up with nothing. In my eyes, and from what I have been reading...nobody is good enough to play her. I think they should choose someone who's a little more artsy and mystical, because LL is anything but. LL has some huge shoes to fill..and all I can say is "Good Luck"...she's going to need it.

I do agree, and believe me there is not going to come a movie about Stevie.
First we all have to waite for Stevie's book.
And we are all waiting for a long time, but she already told everyone there are to many alive, and I don't think Stevie [ who is still very much touring and living here life ] wants to see herself in a movie.
Lindsay Lohan no I don't think so, it's just not going to happend.
And people, go and see Stevie at one of her concerts
far more interresting.

While we're at it, let's just cast Ashton Kutcher as Lindsay, and the Olsen twins can take turns playing Christine. Gimme a break.

It is worth mentioning that Lohan does a credible cover of "Edge of Seventeen" on her last CD, if they are looking for people who can sing a bit. This was music that Lohan listened to growing up.
