Artists who are truly desrving of a biopic! With New Edition having a successful miniseries, Jodeci working on their film and 2Pac's movie coming out soon, which artist(s) you feel should deserve their own biopic in the near future? IMO, there's no one I could think of that is more deserving to have their story told than Exposé. Their story is definitely long overdue to be told.

Has there been a Deborah Harry one yet? | |

There were rumors of a biopic about Blondie but so far it hasn't materialized. Debbie Harry's choice to play herself was Kirsten Dunst. [Edited 2/13/17 0:25am] "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Nobody! Of you're interested in an artist, listen to the music, read a book, watch a documentary. Last thing we need is an actor playing James Brown or Ray Charles... Hollywood, leave my favourite musicians alone! | |

I think the Blondie biopic has been shelved, just like the Marvin Gaye film was. But Kirsten could be perfect to play Madonna.

Didn't Clint Eastwood make a movie about him? You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Expose deserves an Unsung but no biopic. How big were they really? Straight Jacket Funk Affair

Exposé's story is long overdue to be told and a biopic can fit it perfectly! Unsung has featured Teena Marie and Jon B., but they were strictly R&B and Behind The Music has been off the air for a very long time, so there's no other outlet for them like that, but a biopic. It can be a TV biopic, just like New Edition's miniseries, but it don't have to be that long, maybe a 3 hour movie at best. Maybe on VH1, just like Jodeci. When I talked about an Exposé biopic, I thought of VH1 doing a movie like that, you were probably thinking that I thought of Exposé's story being on the big screen, I didn't have those thoughts at all/. | |

I agree with this.I'm getting kinda tired of biopics I'm actually a huge fan of Expose,but I don't necessarily need to see a biopic about them.I'd rather just enjoy their music and see them in concert when they come to my area. | |

Yes, I could see that happening. | |

Donna's autobiography was very boring, I'm a huge fan but I don't see the cause for a biopic. | |

There's supposed to be a real biopic about Dionne Warwick filming right now. LeToya Luckett (from the original lineup of Destiny's Child) is playing her. I don't know if it's theatrical or a TV movie. This is an interview from the summer of 2016, the relevant part is at 2:29.

I could see a Def Jam Records movie, similar to Chess in Cadillac Records. The early days of Def Jam with Russell, RUN-DMC, Beastie Boys, LL Cool J and Public Enemy. PRINCE: Always and Forever
MICHAEL JACKSON: Always and Forever ----- Live Your Life How U Wanna Live It | |

For Donna Summer...it doesn't have to be based on her autobiography I would want a true accurate account of her life...she went through a lot....and the soundtrack would be awesome... In fact I thought Kelly Roland was going to do it at one time | |

In fact I thought Kelly Roland was going to do it at one time a few years ago,there was all this talk about a movie based on Casablanca Records.Justin Timberlake was going to star as label president Neil Bogart.Not sure if this project was cancelled,but Donna was going to be a part of it (Kelly Rowland is a good choice to play her). | |

Well if there's good stuff she didn't write about then that makes a notable difference. I didn't know her story so the autobiography was all I learned of her past. | |

I'd love to see someone give Sly Stone 1969-71 a shot. If anyone can make sense of what actually happened. | |
