((timmy)) got me thinking on this lol If there were to be a movie on the Marvelettes what would be included, what would be left out and who would play the girls I just want all types of thoughts or ideas on this one because I know there are still quite a few issues with this group but I think they deserve for their story to be brought to the screen - the right way of course!!

Interesting topic, (((Kay))) I'm gonna have to think really hard on this but I'm sure (((Cleo))) will give us a few suggestions.

I would love for all remaining members to have input on a movie project and for sole business decisions regarding the girls to be the main focus seeing as there are still such personal and sensitive issues that a couple of members are still dealing with. I also think it would be a good idea to have some unknown actors playing the girls too

Definitely go for unknown actresses and actors. I liked that the Temptations movie only had Leon as a well known really. And the actors were just actors that happened to sing. But their story is worth telling, they are unknowns, for real. I didn't read the whole book, but I have read articles and wondered why they just seemed to stop making music. They were so young, but had versatility, more than any group at Motown, though most could have. Real potential and they really brought Motown out there. I wonder what that road was like.

Interesting point there ((4ever)) ... They were so young, but had versatility, more than any group at Motown ... there really was no mistaking Gladys or Wanda for anybody else but most versatile at Motown overall?? not sure but of all the girl groups; most definitely...and I agree if there were a movie to round up fresh talent...

I mean as far as showing the most versatility, more than any other group Most of the groups had somebody in the bullpen, or did one at a time but both Gladys and Wanda were featured, well up until Smokey got a hold of them

I'm with you now ...that was truly their advantage...all they needed was consistent material, even if they were to only be staples on the R&B chart...

There's a pretty decent singer in Drew Sidora(sp) ... She could be kept in mind to play the role of Gladys ... She could be a 16 year old ... I'll have to think some more for an actress to play Wanda and Kat ... But I would love if the Marvelettes received some rec for all that they've done ... I want to get my hands on their music

Oh and they've have to include Ms Sharp and Mr Romeo (I think that was their names) ... I would say to start from the forming of the group ... With someone to play Georgia ... I think it would be important to include Gladys perspective, Wanda's plus Cat's ... They would have to go through to Wanda's solo project ... And maybe just maybe, say based on or inspired by actual events or something like that, with their permission and consent of course ... Not so blatantly Marvelettes, even though I want them to get their rec ... But I guess that wouldn't work, cause then they couldn't use the great music ... I've got to think more on this one

I've got to think more on this one Definitlety start with the forming of the group then take it from there. But I forgot that Universal/Motown are still acting touchy with the Marvelettes catalogue so if anything maybe they could create new songs that are identical to some of the original hits just so we get the gist of it.
