Apparently there might be a Debarge movie coming out on HBO. I hope so that would be a good movie they got just enough drama for a movie. Hell the Jackson's drama looks like a TV special on Disney channel compared to Debarge drama.I would pay to see that movie.

That sounded strange at first, but I think that's a good match. DeBarge is familiar (to varying degrees) in America, but the story hasn't been overexposed to the point where HBO can explore the topic in an original fashion. I'd watch.

I just hope they cast people that look similar to them. I don't see the movie happening, though. I would rather HBO do a docu on them.

Especially El.....

It is gonna be hard to find people as good looking as that family who can sing.

ArieLove said:

Who said that?

I don't know how true this story is. I love Debarge, but to the mainstream, they are more than a bit obscure and I can't see how they would get ratings

WTF! Well you know Terrance Howard will be up in that mug. Probably playing an uncle or cousin June-bug.

hell to the no! That man does not look Debarge-ish. I don't care how light he is.

yeah somehow i don't see a demand for this

co-sign

scriptgirl said:

I doubt that they would use actors who would actually sing...they'd lip sync...

they should probably cast mostly unknown actors but I'd go with Rick Gonzalas as El Debarge and John Leguizamo as either Bobby Debarge or a younger Bobby Debarge Sr. I think he could really portray his supposed abusive side.

All n all it would be one of the most interesting casting choices.

scriptgirl said:

I really don't get it, for real






Who, or what, exactly is looking good?

I agree with ya here...except maybe it's the guy in me but Bunny was cute in her younger days

I heard a interview on j4j and she said she hopes there is a movie in the near future and that HBO might be interseted. idk if its true but i hope so.

Debarge was very good looking. Actually, James, El still don't look bad. Rick Gonzales is not handsome enough for El and John Leguizamo as Bobby, no. I wouldn't call Bobby abusive

scriptgirl said:

Well didn't James say that Bobby use to beat him.. always trying to kill him

True and to me, Randy implied that Bobby was sexually abusing his siblings as well

scriptgirl said:

Huh,he implied that to you,tell me about it.

I meant watching the show, I felt that is what Randy implied

Huh so in your first line you would not call Bobby abusive, and in your next comment you think he is sexually abusive

scriptgirl said:

From what I got from UNSUNG, it was only physical with Bobby (and Tommy). Only Bunny was sexually abused.

yea thats what i got too.to me bobby seemed troubled and since abuse is what he got its what he did so yea i guess he was abusive.

Marzellus, I meant to correct my first statement-I later realized I was in the wrong

scriptgirl said:

Okay don't ever say that again

ArieLove said:

It is true. & you would know by being on the other debarge forum right?

scriptgirl said:

How did randy imply?

Cali29 said:

Its because she is a self proclaimed Debargeologist.She only assumes what they imply because she doesn't know any of them to get the real gist what they are saying.
