Oh this is a great idea, I don't think I have much more to say, showing Shannon the way he was and not focusing only on his drug abuse problems (which the media does for the most of the time #chair# ) is just perfect! And I totaly trust you bums! If a melonhead won't do a great true movie about a "natural" Shannon then who will!!! And the thing about the actor who'll have to show Shannon's energy's so true, haha! You can shout "be more energetic, more more more" for hours and still wonder if they can make it, haha! Shannon rocked so much! #heart#

HAHA its in this one, in the "shannon hoon" bit underneath the "shannon hoon film" thread hahahaha i dont know if i got the name of it right but yeah.
And you know you can trust me not to focus on shannons drug use, me and nick have already talked about that, the whole drug problem/rockstar thing is typical and boring to be honest, the story (or should i say that side of the story) has been told so many times.... and shannon was anything but boring, he was abit of fresh air i guess. So its not going to be the main focus of the film.
and about the actor, im really gunna push my actor as shannon because i think capturing who he was on screen without using the actual shannon will be like capturing lightning in a tea cup. Its gunna be fucking hard work, but beautiful when its done.
And i think its good that my friend nick is like this technical expert and into the whole camera stuff and watnot and how to actually edit and make fims and im into the whole acting side and making people bring characters to life and trying to bring things the way i see it to life....
And im a melonhead haha i think its a good combination. Man....i never get bored of talking about this film.
Im such a day dreamer

Maybe start with Shannon as a tiny kid or toddler and have a young Nel cleaning to Carole King... Shannon said in an interview that it was his earliest musical memory and one of his most cherished too... Just a thought... That's my input, now im off to bed...

This topic is a bit old now , but it got me thinking who could play Shannon. Anyhoon, I was watching the tube the other night and on comes "Good Will Hunting" with Matt Damon. I think there's a definite resemblance between Damon and Shannon. Put long hair on Damon, pierced ears, tats & scruff him up a bit and I think he could pull it off not that he would because the paycheck might not be too appealing . I respect him as an actor though and if wishes could come true I'd like to see him play the part. Well I'm all done daydreaming #idea#.

I was really fraking out cause he had the hairstyle Shannon had on the front of the rolling stone with the pig tails... He would be perfect...

I think I know who you mean and YES he would be perfect for the part and probably more affordable!!!!!!!

If anybody did a Blind melon bio, they should bring in a unknown actor to play Shannon.

I have seen this topic discussed before but I was never a member of the forum so therefor never responded, but I always thought the character [BODHI] played by Patrick Swayze in the movie Point Break reminded me of Shannon. A free spirit, do it his own way, life on the edge partier but with a beautiful soul also. Matt Damon probably has more of the look, but again the character[BODHI] COMES PRETTY CLOSE.
