Re: Janis Joplin

I love this photo of Janis. Count me in as another fan.
 
Fans of Janis Joplin, this thread is for you

Fans of Janis Joplin probably know that the biopic The Gospel According to Janis is working its way through production.
People who know that probably know Zooey Deschanel is playing Janis.
Those people should hear this.

Her version of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. Closest to Janis she gets on She & Him's album. Thoughts?
 
Re: Fans of Janis Joplin, this thread is for you

Love Janis so much. Love Zooey Deschanel and her album but she is way to pretty to play Janis I was happy when Pink was attached as I thought she fitted it more. I hope its a good movie it will be the first time a lot of my mates will be exposed to Janis, cause they are lame.
 
Re: Fans of Janis Joplin, this thread is for you

I love Janis! It's hard to think of any singer or actress who could do her justice. Maybe Melissa Etheridge--she's got the voice--but she probably can't act.
 
Re: Fans of Janis Joplin, this thread is for you

IMO, the only one i think could have gotten away with playing janis was patty duke about 30 years ago, too late now.
 
Re: Fans of Janis Joplin, this thread is for you

As for the most rock voice in pop music...I'm gonna hand that to Pink. Fantastia's got a good voice, but it's really more soul than rock. Pink has more attitude and a much more rock quality.

And if you want to hear an out-of-this world version of Ball and Chain, check Big Mama Thornton's original. Fantastic.

Etheridge is WAYYYY too old to play Janis. Zooey's too sweet. Pink could've done it but she dropped because the producers didn't want Janis's overdose shown on screen. Dana Fuchs (the lady from Across the Universe) could do it vocally, but probably can't act well enough.

Basically, we are screwed.
 
Re: Fans of Janis Joplin, this thread is for you

Oh god who the hell would EVER think of Zellweger as Janis? They both had squishy faces, but the comparison stops there. And this is coming from someone who actually dug Renee's singing in Chicago.
 
Re: Fans of Janis Joplin, this thread is for you

How old is Overmyer? Remember, Janis only lived to the age of 27.
*looks her up on youtube* She sings Janis alright. She doesn't have quite the same amount of soul to her, but she's okay.
More importantly: can she act?
 
Re: Fans of Janis Joplin, this thread is for you

Ok, this might sound weird, but what about Joss Stone? Again, she's got a great voice,and I could see her in the role--only it would be hard to make her look like Janis!

Re: Fans of Janis Joplin, this thread is for you

Since its a movie I would rather an amazing actor play the role then some pop star. I mean who would of thought Joaquin Phoenix could do such a good Johnny Cash.

So, o.k., Reese Witherspoon? If she could do for Janis what she did for June Carter Cash I'd be sold.

her voice (or what I have heard of it) is a little to weak for Janis but that said how do we even know there is singing in the movie? Reese is a good actress but I doubt she would but on the weight like/ fugly it up like some actreses would.
 
Re: Fans of Janis Joplin, this thread is for you

^^^^ Sometimes Oscar loves fugly!! (Think Charlize)
 
Re: Fans of Janis Joplin, this thread is for you

So this is a little off-topic, but what do you all think of Bette Midler's performance in "The Rose"? That character was supposedly based on Janis.
If I remember correctly Bette got a best actress nomination (correct me if I'm wrong)--she didn't win,though.

Re: Fans of Janis Joplin, this thread is for you

I'll have to see that never knew it was bases on Janis.

Off topic again but we have talked about her the P!nk song "Unwind" is about Janis
 
Re: Fans of Janis Joplin, this thread is for you

I know that I was saying I do not think Reese would do it to herself.

You're probably right--that's what separates great actresses from all the rest.

I didn't know that--it's a good song. Janis is everywhere!!
