  1. That Dean guy is already made for the part.

     

    "Dean maintains a successful acting career in film and television. His television credits include roles in the series "VIP Pamela Anderson", "Home Improvement" "The Commish," "Sliders," "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids," the animated series "Robocop" and "The Big Guy." His feature film credits include "The X-Files: Fight the Future" "Radio Free Steve", "Design of Darkness", "Rice Girl" and the animated feature film 'Tom Sawyer'."

    As has been said above, all that's happened is the rights have been sold. Actually, if I remember correctly, it was "optioned" which means Neil didn't release the rights, he just gave someone permission to work with his stuff. But based on some college screenwriting courses I took, and general hollywood know-how, only a tiny fraction of optioned movies ever see print. We may get a movie out of this, we may not...

    Either way, it'll be interesting smile.gif

    Actually, when I heard that the book had been optioned, my first thought was that they did it to keep the title from being confused or mixed up with the Ghost Rider comic book (also being scripted for an upcoming movie).

    As for casting... we had a big thread on this on THML and Tom Hanks was suggested for Neil (voice dubbed), Dean Haglund for Geddy, and Jeff Bridges for Alex.
    If you've ever seen the conspiracy theory guys on the X-Files or caught the short-lived The Lone Gunmen, you'll know who Dean Haglund is. But here's the creepy part - he's Canadian and shares a birthday with Geddy! ph34r.gif

    Wow, that Dean guy is almost dead on. Just give him a brown wig and round sunglasses and he would be Geddy.

    "All around that dull gray world

    From Moscow to Berlin

    People storm the barricades

    Walls go tumbling in"

     

    There are actually a number of lines from this song, but I will just use the first.

    Riv, even if this isn't the answer of which you were thinking, I believe you should declare Indy the winner. No matter what the "true" answer is, it cannot be better than Indy's answer. His is dead on.

    Yeah I was dead on!!!!!!!!

    Fine.

     

    What I was going for was "Here Again"

     

    But I can see that your eyes are glass.

    What lyric from Here Again?

    I have that magazine.

     

    (What the hell am I doing here?)

  6. Red Sector A btw is spelled "Sector", not "Secotr"

     

    It also both appeared on the Chronicles and P/G videos.

     

    If you wanna go into live stuff, there are a ton of videos you havent mentioned from Exit Stage Left, P/G, ASOH, and RIR

     

    Plus, dont forget about the Closer To The Heart video that was going to be on the scrapped Different Stages video. I definatly have seen that on TV more then a couple times.

    or maybe hint?

  8. I thought this was simply a rumor on this thread. If its true, I dunno how much I would like it. Rush has always been an insider band for me, only myself and few select people know about them. And of those few that know them, they know MP and PerWaves stuff, maybe a few select songs on earlier albums, but absolutly nothing from post Signals.

     

    You make a movie like this, it brings the mainstream into Rush and you get a lot of pseudo-fans saying they love the band. I like the fact that when I talk to people about music, there is a band that only I know about. Its like a secret that only I and a few other open people know about.

     

    But then again, it might finally shut all those critics up who continually bash the band for Geddy's voice or thier so-called pretentious attitude towards music (I never ever once had this impression of them) It might even boost Vapor Trails up a bit and hear it on the radio as people might actually start to listen to the lyrics. I would love to be able to hear newer material on the radio longer then a couple months after release in addition to Tom Sawyer or Limelight.

  9. I say EVERYONE comes to SF for those shows, that way I dont have to travel anywhere laugh.gif. Either that or I will try to find my way out to NY for any city dates they may do. I might be able to schedule a vacation df

     

    find the rush pun in my last post and win a prize.

    Here's a replay of an older post of mine....
    My wife calls me the other day to say she's driving into town with our daughter and she(our daughter, who's 4 years old) wants to hear the "Me Me Try" song HUH??!!
    So I'm trying to think what in the world it could be. I can hear her say "it's Rush daddy" in the background. She's done this before with other Rush songs. She always asks to hear "the jungle song," which we finally determined to be "For What It's Worth" from Feedback, which she tells me she thinks sounds like a jungle at the begining. She'll also ask for them by the album cover, like "the bunny one," of course, being Presto. So after a minute it comes to me. And I was right! Tom Sawyer, of course! I love decoding what songs or albums my daughter wants to hear! Especially when it's Rush! biggrin.gif
