Beatles Soap-Opera?

[Jeni]

Here I am on a foggy Oregon afternoon home six from school and the cables gone out, not that I normally watch daytime tv but the only channel I get right now is CBS which has a full Soap-Opera line up.

Bobby.. Leah's dying from some rare flesh eating bacteria.. we have to help her...

It's creeping me out.. I was thinking how cool it would be to have a soap-opera about the beatles.. starting from their births with the little interwoven weird storys.. now THAT would be entertainment.

Sounds like fun.

Most of the playes on stage etc. were not so good though and there was never a real movie about the Beatles Years.




------------------
I'm just waiting for 23 January 2001 and I know what I will be doing.

[bearkat77]

That would be something. We could get some members from here to play the parts. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

OFan : I just saw where a group called the "FAB FOUR" will be performing in Denver, Colorado at the Paramount Theater, January 27, 2001. Maybe you can walk on-stage and play Cynthia Powell..? I am planning to attend the event.

Bearkat : Are you sure you're not touring and haven't told anybody about this gig..? Ha Ha..! Take care 'kat...

That's actually a great idea. It could be an HBO series (so they could use language and make it real interesting).

[Litl Lennon]

who could i be?

were there any fair-skinned, blonde haired 13-year-old girls in john's life? http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif
or any of their lives, for that matter

maybe i could be.....

[Jeni]

Well, looks like we need a screen writer!!!

Was Jane a meanie at all because I'm much better at those roles, partly because I've never been cast in anything as a nice person. Hhehe in the local theatres production of Grease I played the Rizzo from hell.. heheheh that was fun.

[bearkat77]

I'm more of the behind-the-camera guy, so I guess I'll be the director. Anyone up to the task of writing a script?

Litl Lennon, you could be one of the Paul's kids.

I would like to help write. BA in Communications, you know.

[jami]

http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/frown.gif Well, who's going to be my George, since I'm Patti, if you're going to be the director now, Kat? http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

[Litl Lennon]

Who can I be!!!!!?????!!!!????

[FPSHOT]

I like to do George, period from 1970.



------------------
My Sweet Lord was inspired by the Edwin Hawkins Singers song Oh Happy Day - George in I Me Mine.

[bearkat77]

OK, Jtal, see what you can come up with. FPSHOT, I'll let you be George. Besides their kids, we need some more members to portray Brian, Stu, Pete and George Martin. Any volunteers?

Hehehe! Yeah Jane probably would wonder what the casting people were on if she saw me.
She was a stick and the curves on me never stop!! Ha! Plus I'm pretty short, so that might be a problem.

Maybe Sean or Julian ??

i am a girl,
what about paul's daughters?

[Original Fan]

Playing Aunt Mimi should be quite a challenge. Imagine telling John Lennon that he's wasting his time playing the guitar? I'll choke on the words! But, really, how was she to know what fate had in store for her nephew? I believe she really tried her best to raise John in the "proper" way. It must've been quite a challenge!

[jtal909]

A soap opera would not be a movie. It would not be the entire history in one swoop. It would be a continous saga of the day in the life. It could start with the early days like when they met and maybe flashback on pivitol childhood events for a season or 2. Maybe the 3rd season cliffhanger could be at the threshold of Beatlemania. The next season could be like A Hard Day's Night but an entire season's worth. How would we get the rights to the songs? But it is an interesting idea.

jtal: If you're going to do this as a serial, you have no limits as to details and trivial events. Go for it!

[bearkat77]

Litl Lennon, Heather is Linda's oldest child from a previous marriage.

Can I be one of Paul's daughters? Or, I could be Lee, Ringo's DAUGHTER!
Can I?
Please?

[Lucy]

Do you actually have to request permission to play a certain part or something?
litlringo, go ahead and play Lee if you like. From what I can see you don't have to beg for a part.
If you do, who is in charge of casting??

[bearkat77]

Who said anything about casting? If you want the part, you can have it. Providing that someone else hasn't taken that part.
