Title: "CURE MOVIE" - Who Would You Cast?
Post by: Carnage Visor on September 26, 2007, 21:43:44
I'm surprised this has never come up before, or that it has never been made in the first place!

We have SID AND NANCY, we have JACKSONS: AN AMERICAN DREAM, and we have that movie about the TEMPTATIONS....but no Cure movie!

In the event that they did make a movie surrounding the rise of the band we all know and love,

WHO WOULD YOU CAST TO PLAY EACH BAND MEMBER?

Dunno about the others, but for sure Luis Figo as Simon!  (Yeah, I know Luis is a footie player, but aren't all footie players actors?  I mean look at the way they dive! Harharhar!)

Why not? Just make believe! Not real movies!

Plus, why not document this awesome band? Alot of crappy bands have gotten award winning movies about them...a little movie would be alright.

seriously, i wouldn't want to see anyone playing robert, simon, porl... - not even if it was just imaginary.

because imo all acted movies like this tend to be way too fictional, and mostly they aim to be more entertaining than anyhow informative - so they have no real documentary value anyway. there's been enough written about the cure for a lifetime to read and audios/videos to listen/watch to get one's own impression of them, to create one's very own cure world. i honestly wouldn't need or even want anyone to dream it up for me - the cure is too personal for me.

yes... but crappy movies - honestly, i never saw a good fictional movie about any band, be it about a good band or a crappy band.
some concert movies are ok but that's completely different of course.

just my opinion...

Whatever...you sort of made me feel bad but it would be childish to complain...

I was just interested in hearing what actors could pull it off...because I wonder myself sometimes, I am a big movie fan.
I understand what you mean...and I am a crazy huge fan (believe me, I think about the band every moment of my life, and I base my way of life on it practically!) but for me there's no harm in having a good little "What if" discussion.

But if you think it's so stupid, then remove it from the boards. :(

hmm sorry but i only just made a comment in this thread according to what i think about this topic that's under conversation - i don't think i made a comment about you ok? i didn't even make a comment about whether or not i think this is a good topic to have or not - i just posted my opinion. and i just can't just post "great!" just for the sake of it, if it's not what i think right?  
and i think you really shouldn't get so feel-bad about every slightly disagreeing comment you might get here (or elsewhere) - because people have and will always have different opinions, yet it doesn't mean we were bashing each other (not to mention needed to start to delete someone's posts!). and lastly, i don't understand why you're suggesting to anyone deleting this? i never said anything like that, did i? so please don't let yourself exaggerate my (or anyone else's) words... because it's not what I said...

hey i guess i'm sorry for posting into your thread... but well some other time i saw you saying how sorry you were because people were not posting in your threads, so... very hard to please you then, i guess.  :?

CV, we are all here to state are opinions.  Whether they be good or bad.  Just respect other opinions as they would respect yours.

And back on topic. I can't see a movie about The Cure being made. No one can be The Cure but the Cure.

 :smth011  NO SORRY,      IN MY RELIGION   THIS  IS A   SIN  !!!!

MAYBE IN A HUNDRED YEARS- NO  OLD  UGLY  ACTORS  DOING  'SIMON  OR   ROBERT'  -  IS NOTHING SACRED !!!!!


AHHH THE HORROR

(my emotions on the matter, no offense anyone)- COME-ON  ~  YOUR TOPICS ROCK  CARNAGE V- SO NOT PERSONAL- just my opinion,
As for my topics- see you dont even see them, thats cool, everyone has their own taste, etc.

I just cant wait to see their new DVD's and also back stage clips. And love the mystery, behind Roberts eyes and persona.  I  dont want a movie to analyse the purity of the music and members.
I dont think anyone can do the job- or express Robert better than ROBERT can, know what i mean, (or band members, etc even managers, the roadies)etc
Anything else isnt real, their music speaks for itself, is what i think.     Maybe after they and we are all dead.....?

THE CURE  ~   ARE STILL ROCKING !!!!!  and the story isnt even complete yet. :smth023

But non the less an interesting and thought provoking thred -
Think of it like art -This Thred, doing its job - To provoke thought.

p.s. sorry posting twice, i had a pic, but removed it-  ENJOY   :smth020

Hmmmm... I can't say that I've ever given it much thought. I can't even think of anyone who would be able to do the boys justice, although Robert did bear a slight resemblance to Ben Affleck circa Seventeen Seconds. :-/

I'm easy to please, I'm just very sensetive and I misunderstood you, okay? No arguments.
I'm full of paradoxes, I have a mental disorder and I really can't be held accountable for things I've said in the past, I'm always changing...

I'm not angry because nobody posts, I just feel lonely. I have lots of problems. But that's beside the point.

Thank you for clearing things up. :)

Yeah, I was thinking about the Ben Affleck-looking Robert as well, but Ben is far too old now to play young Robert, maybe Ben in the early 90s or so...
Title: Re: "CURE MOVIE" - Who Would You Cast?
Post by: Printheth on September 29, 2007, 12:35:06
Well I reckon a good Robert would be ...well dunno his name but he is the actor in Nightie Night who eats the rabbits and is the blondie chickee's pal (father of toffee apple love child) and has a nasty tick reminiscent of Turette's (can't remember the correct spelling) Syndrome.
Simon would be Madge from Neighbours...for strength and substance
Porl would be Johnny Depp...cause all lead guitarists are pretty boys
and Jasey would be Chevy Chase for a little old fashioned comedic appeal.....
SO DO WE HAVE A MOVIE YET GUYS?

I SAY LET ME DO THE COOKING SHOW SET STARING ROBERT MAKING LAMINGTONS.....

I STILL LOVE EASTER BABY,
Printheth xxxxx

WHAAAAAAAAT? ??????

ben affleck playing robert = GAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!! may god protect us from something as embarrassingly awful as that ever happening.


(@CV: definitely no offense dude but since i sometimes do feel it's better to speak frankly than try to camouflage what i'm trying to say...: you just seem to get hurt here in a similar manner, repeatedly, time after time. and nothing bad in that itself, of course not! but try to see it from the others' viewpoint: to be completely honest, i guess sometimes i'm just getting a little bit frustrated about always having to apologize you the same sort of things ok? there's nothing ill will in me saying this, i'm just saying how i feel about it sometimes. it makes me feel bad too, because i feel i always need to apologize to you something with which i never meant anything bad at all. i get frustrated because you seem to misunderstand me in a similar manner time after time, despite the apologies that get written. and being frustrated: please note that that's not the same as getting annoyed at you or starting to ignore you or something - i just mean i feel it's frustrating that you don't seem to believe what i and many others have been saying to you, several times on this board: that we don't intend anything ill towards you. it's simply frustrating because however honest i/we try to be and support you, you seem to doubt us time after time after time. so it makes me want to ask: "what is it that you want us to say then?" - this is what i meant when i said it's hard to please you.
i've tried to write you supportive posts on several other threads (and i did mean what i said in those by the way!), but still here in this thread we did come to this same little confrontation once more. because really, by now you should already know people here don't disagree or make comments on you as a person/your personality, but people here are simply discussing the subjects/topics at hand. changing opinions.
and maybe think of it like this too: surely there're a lot of sensitive people here, hey maybe myself included, so how about that? but however sensitive we were, maybe we just shouldn't let that side come out as the topmost issue time after time. and the only thing i mean by saying that is that it simply might be a lot easier for ourselves if we didn't bring it up front all the time. could be easier. because since it's been all said already...  then why can't we just try to have a little bit faith in each other ok? just some faith.
now i try not to write about/refer to any of these issues anymore. if you think we should discuss this further, please send me a pm. on the board, why don't we talk about the cure instead.)

Dont want a movie,

But i like the idea of 'ROBERTS SECRET COOKING MOMENTS' showing he's favourite foods, and cooking, Sweet idea  : :D

I made a yumi cake for today, and it was enjoyed, turned out nice, sponge chocolate cake, I ended up cutting it in half and adding strawberries and cream in middle, and then used a different icing- white colour with hint lemon juice, was yuummmmii. I only got a little tiny slice though, because i was dissapearing fast, and wanted everyone else to eat more of it than me.

No, i wouldn't cast anyone, because i don't wan to see a film about the Cure with actors.
The band members are so unique and special, i mean in the way they are. It wouldn't work at all  :)


The secret cooking moments of Robert, that is a nice idea, because i would be interesting to see what's
his favourite food  :)

I think the only way to eroperly documant a band like The Cure would strictly be through actual footage and doing a documentary style movie. There's no way an actor would ever fit the charachter of either Robert (especially) or Simon without some level of uproar from the loyalty fans of this band. Let's face it, we are a tough crowd to please, that's why we're all here and voice our opinions so well! :D
As far as the secret cooking moment, I loved it since I am a pastry chef and cake artist as well. I smile that big when I make something tasty, too. I just don't know if I look as cute in my apron! :-D

I wasn't thinking when I made this! It's not like I think someone could pull it off, but I just wanted to know any actors that either LOOK like could play Cure characters, or something like that.

That kind of thing interests me alot. I like to compare things.

Like, there's no way I think they'd ever do a movie, but let's say it'll suck anyway, and just name some actors to play the guys...It's not really a serious topic much

Yes, he's quite funny. I saw Blades Of Glory. That was hilarious. The show was Satuday Night Live.

Back on topic, We should consider past Cure members too.

Well if we use this as a guide(http://justlikecure.free.fr/Images/tourbook07.jpg)
Then we are spot on with Figo & Cake muncher Osborne.
Norman Lovett could be changed for(http://images.usatoday.com/life/_photos/2006/06/27/boy-george.jpg) perhaps (although, I guess he's not an actor, but then, neither are the 1st 2.)

I personally like Porl more than Simon, but okay.

I gotta disagree on this .

1. Jesse Spencer .. does not remind me of Jason.. I'm aussie.. he's a turn-off!!
2. Porl.. the only recent resemblance to him is Doctor Evil form Austin Powers!!! 'frickin' hilarious'.. :smth033 ( I used to idolise Boy George.. but he's a bit more Kirsty Alley/Pricilla Queen of the Desert/Dessert at the moment!!!)

3. Considering that even Cate Blanchett could portray Bob Dylan.. maybe... as Robert... Chrissy Hinde from the Pretenders?? I dunno...
maybe JUST ROBERT HIMSELF???. It is my preference.. unless someone has a more creative idea.. wanna produce a show??? hahaha  :-D :smth001 :-D :P

I agree and  Jesse Spencer would be far better for the role of Jason, look wise. And he's an actor.
And Boy George does habe a little resemblance to Porl. The eyes and the bald head.

Well..Robert can't act, for one thing. Yeah, and having them all act in a movie would drive the fans into a craze. Plus what would they do for the scenes when they were supposed to look young? Lol..

Anyway, I still don't have a clue who would play them. It's too hard.

Cure movie cast.....hmm i get back on this one  :lol:  and all other members too. 

That pic of Robert does resemble Ben Afflick- but could Ben do the job- could he portray such charm, and the accent....that is the question
really good choice though, looks wise.  :shock:



edit~ yes Cure Freak he cant act for peanuts  :lol:  would be too hard for Ben.  :roll:  especially also the accent, ahh well, who's next ?
Roll up, roll up, Actors needed..... Boy George was funny choice heheheee (earlier post by Steve i think)

Having seen and heard alot of good things about the movie "CONTROL" about Joy Division, it seems almost unfair that I can't experience that same thing with The Cure.

I'm imagining some really great scenes, you know...the band forming, the Gary Biddles incident, the 'F- Robert Palmer" thing...The Cure is riddled with hilarious and unforgettable stories.

I don't know, if it can be done so well and so beautifully with Joy Division, it can be done well with The Cure.

Having seen and heard alot of good things about the movie "CONTROL" about Joy Division, it seems almost unfair that I can't experience that same thing with The Cure.

but come on, 'control' is a great movie NOT because it's a movie about a good band, but because it's really not about the band/music, it's about the tragedy of one person who just happened to be a musician in this case. so the fact that's it's music-related is not what makes it good as a story, as a movie, as a documentary about one human being and his personal tragedy. it would be just as good movie if the leading character was of some other profession, whatever - the story of this person's life is what's interesing there, not the surroundings.

so in order to "experience the same thing with the cure": you'd need to hope thatsomething really tragical happened to robert and he'd maybe end up even killing himself??
of course we/you don't hope that... i hope....

you see, i'm trying to point out the difference: could one really make such an exceptionally tinged movie about a band like the cure? sure, they've made a lot of great music - and i know it sounds bad when put this way, but still: is lots of good music enough? i mean, enough to make a great movie out of it?  you don't "need" a movie to tell you that "this music id great" - all you need is to listen to the music itself.
for movie, there would have to be something else there, something to make a story out of. otherwise it would be bound to be just plain boring. or maybe not boring but at least unnecessary. it would entertaining at its best, if it was well-made - but that's really not necessarily a good reason to make a movie.

'control' is great because it's an exceptional story. and it's a great portrait, completely regardless of whether it's a music-related film or not!
the story of joy division and the story of the cure are completely different things. something that works for one is not necessarily goint to be great for the other.

sorry if i sound like i'm ranting, but i am personally allergic to pointless movies, made only for shallow entertainment. there are too many of those already and even thouh i agree a good amount of them are often well-made and professional in every way i still don't think that alone is good enough a cause for their existence.  if you create art you need to have some other impulse for it than just making something "entertaining and professional looking".

really, when i think of the career of the cure, i see very little that i would consider really interesting when/if translated to a movie.
i don't see what the point would be... other than entertainment purposes - which i don't see as any sort of point, really.

Thats the thing, I've always wanted to direct an adaption of the Cure story, perhaps just a short film chronicling the beginning of their career, with a bit o' fantasy thrown in for good measure to make it surreal and represent the drug usage the band was going through at the time...

Hey, in a few years, film school...
