Come on! Let's get Jonathan & Vivek telling us some secrets!
I know you guys are curious too, right?

Okay, people ~ referring back to [ THIS POST ], I am dying to find out what characters are planned to be in the movie and what they might be doing...

...so, to start 'er off, I'm gonna suggest that I'd personally love to see ~~

  1. The times where Alistair and Brian would sit up all night with each other laughing their asses off and enjoying each other's company ~ and that was before Brian's virgin episode with marijuana!


  2. And speaking of the substance, of course everyone wants to see the movie's version of Brian and his boys the first time they smoked pot (courtesy of Dylan)!


  3. The part where Alistair's wife Lesley claims (with amusement) that Alistair is deeply in love with Brian ~ and he is forced to admit that she's probably right, albeit in a non-physical sense.


  4. I would just die to watch Brian "doting on" his baby niece Joanna.


  5. (Very sad) The Lionel Bart/Alma Cogan connection, how she became almost a wife to Brian, and then ~ to add to the trauma of Beatle tours ending forever ~ she dies.

OKAY. This is a challenge now!
I started y'all off, so use this chart, or think up some more names, and give me some more ideas!

I think its an obvious choice for Cate Blanchett to reprise her role as Dylan. She was outstanding.

Brian seeing the Beatles play for the first time.

John and Brian's trip to Spain. It doesn't even matter what they do.

Oh, I'm for certain the first one will be played out! Like, that was the pivotal moment in Brian's life!

As for the second one, I know it's gotta be done in some fashion ~ I think too many people might go WTF? if it's not at least mentioned!

Thanks!

That quote is directly from Pete Shotton, as told to Hunter Davies.

Pete might have believed John was being straight with him, but (personally) I think Lennon was shitting with Pete when he told him that, just to see what kind of a reaction he'd get. Pulling legs was the Lennon M.O., as we all are aware. But, as you know, I hope if anything did happen, it was what Brian wanted.

IMO, the movie does not have to show anything except the friends leaving for Spain, and then the various reactions when they came back.

To show the RESULTS of other people's tawdry innuendo without lowering the dignity of one's own movie or book by exhibiting/spreading this guesswork and rumor, is the sign of a great artist.

However, I do not have that much knowledge of the script yet. I'm going by pure trust at the moment.

Yes!!! A,little on the trip to Spain. but no need to dwell on the sexual thing.
How about John and Brian sitting in the cafes in Spain watching all the boys go by..."do you like this one? do you like that one?'
Also I do hope they have Brian with a great sense of humor. I have read he was so funny at times.
I also hope it shows him as the father figure to John. I think he had a lot to do with keeping peace between John and Cyn.
I just know he would have squawked about Yoko to John.
And of course the Cavren where he first lays eyes on his boys.
Plus some Alma and Maryann.
