Thanks for the video
I have been away for a while, it's nice to see the Nico thread is still going

 

[IcePrincess]

haha, that Doors movie is so funny. I don't think Crispin Glover makes a very good Andy Warhol, I think he sounds a lot like that cat puppet from "Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood."

he does!

You are welcome Odelay. I am trying my best to find photos that were not posted here already. That thread is really big, it takes forever to check all the photos.

Maybe this photo was posted already, not sure. It is another one from the Richard DeWitt book "Life & Lies of an Icon".

Nico - The End Movie

I'm still trying to process all of this


http://www.fullonfilmproductions.com/end/synopsis.htm

NICO - THE END is a musical biopic that excavates the truth about of one of the 20th century’s greatest female musical icons NICO - and along the way becomes a virtual lexicon of 1960’s and 70’s Rock counter-culture. Illuminating key, behind-the-scenes moments in Rock’s chequered history, and covering NICO’s liaisons with the faces and superstars that made up her universe - Bob Dylan, Andy Warhol, Lou Reed, John Cale, Brian Jones, Jim Morrison, Leonard Cohen and Alain Delon . But the focus is on the woman behind the muse - what drove her? - where did her inspiration come from? And how did it all go so tragically wrong?

Is it me or does this actress look kind of like a drag queen in this photo

Is it just me or did you get no sound when you watched the trailer???

I'm not getting any idea what this movie is going to be like from watching that Is it going to be about following Nico around with cameras? wtf I don't think I saw her singing once. I hope this is very misleading and this will turn out to be an excellent film.

Thanks IcePrincess. I did not get the sound either. Well, it is about time they do a movie about Nico. I am not so sure about the choice of the actress though... I am a purist when it comes to Nico. I also have to admit that I do not know any actresses that looks like her. Nico had really unique features, not easy to duplicate with makeup or other devices.

BTW, I love the new photos of Nico you posted!

Wow! I am always amazed at the stuff that can be find on YouTube!

Phillip Garrell lauched a movie last year (2006) featuring his son (who plays the role of Phillip Garrel, his father). The movie is loosely based on Phillip Garrell life in the 60s. I have read an article about it last summer, in the local cultural paper. Not very good critics. Again, a marginal/experimental kind of film. The movie did not stayed long in theaters. I did not even had time to go see it!... For the life of me I cannot even remember the title. Well, I was glad to learn that Garrell was still alive and that he had a grown-up son.

I don't think they're gonna go through with that Nico movie, because I remember first hearing about it like three years ago. It's probably a matter of getting rights to music. Same with the David Mackenzie/Tilda Swinton version that was meant to come out last year. Too bad, I thought they sounded kind of interesting

I would love to see a movie about Nico if it is done well. IMBD has 2008 as the year it is to be released, but there is not any other info out there about it so perhaps they did stop production

What a bummer...

 

[IcePrincess]

Maybe it's better if they don't. The Doors and Factory Girl didn't portray her well at all. Poor Nico I wouldn't want to see that happen again.

Her hair looks so dry (and artificial!)

I agree with you IcePrincess, on how those movies so badly portrayed Nico... if a biopic is made on her, let's all wish it won't be as disastrous as Factory Girl.

 

[nicovelvet]

I went to the movie yesterday. I was supposed to see "Factory Girl" but I got cold feet at the last minute as I was afraid to be pissed at the portraying of Nico as I was with Oliver Stone "The Doors". Instead I saw Cate Blanchett & Judy Dench in "Note On a Scandal". After hearing all the talk about how bad Nico is shown in "Factory Girl", I think I did good to switch movie at the last minute. I'll wait for the DVD to come out.

I'm pretty sure the scene with Nico in Factory Girl is somewhere to be found on Youtube, so you might want to see the actress playing her say 2 or 3 lines in an exaggerated accent, unless you want to see the movie in its entirety first!

 

[babydoll1125]

Thanks you for those screencaps IcePrincess! Nicovelvet, i don't think any of the pictures from that book have been posted except for the ones that you posted, at least not that big.

I tought that one movie looked horrible and i don't think it will come out because like odelay said they've been talking about it forever! I was looking forward to the one with Tilda Swinton because i know she's a good actress and even though she doesn't really look like Nico i think she'd do a good job. Does anyone else think Cate Blanchett looks like Nico? I think she'd be a good Nico because she's a good actress as well.

There have been youtube links posted with Nico's part in Factory Girl and The Doors, i think they're a couple pages back.
