Michael Hutchence Biopic Announced
November 22, 2012
A biopic on late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence is to be made into a film.
''I chased the idea 12 years ago but there was so much litigation and family issues, it looked too harsh. But recently I was made aware of Trevor Ray Field - who was good friends of Tina Hutchence - and he brought me the book.''
He added: "Over the course of the last month we negotiated the rights with Tina, and we hit the mark. I like music biopics to be about the person, not just sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. It's going to be a heartfelt, interesting project about a complex life, like Ray or Walk the Line."

to be honest though, the main book that should be looked at is the book "story to story" since this is a true detailed event of the band and michael. Now if this "movie" plans on leaving out the band stuff thats fine, but if its going to use music details and all of that, that book has to be used as its the only true account of what that unit was doing. Im not a big fan of "family" books, Michael and his family were not that tight, there was divorce alot of sides were taken, sure he loved them all but after he died alot of sides were taken, battles, law suits over his work and money and name. ALSO the biggest thing is how do you end this movie, you cant have his death, since the death is still not known or proven, suicide though was the reason written, i think anyone that knows the full details knows the death was not a suicide, so with that debate you cant have that played out, also because of the time that has passed, not many even know michael or the band. "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |
