'With the success of the film “Bohemian Rhapsody” about Queen, “Rocketman” about Elton John, and the Netflix hit “The Dirt” about Mötley Crüe, it’s time to think about a biopic of one of the greatest bands of all time, Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd rose to fame in the late 1960’s and 1970’s as one of the leading progressive rock bands. The band’s success was coupled with drama and tragedy. A film about this legendary band would be a must see. One of the reasons that other biopics have enjoyed success is a great director and excellent casting. This isn’t always easy to do. Another factor that makes a good biopic of musicians is when the tone of the film matches the tone of the band and their music. Fans of the band want to experience what it was like when the band formed, reached success and probably experienced some drama and tension. A great director and casting makes all the difference. Here are some great ideas for casting a biopic of Pink Floyd'
P.S I remember vividly the old NPF thread aobot a possible Pink Floyd movie. It was discused Johnny Depp as Syd Barrett, and Ashton Kutcher as David Gilmour.
Among other things.I suppose that thread is buried somewhere here in the NPF archive, but I didn't want to re-open such an old thread again.
