If you were the producer, for a movie special on the life of Gordon Lightfoot, who would you select to play Gordon (excluding Gordon)?
What might you include as part of the storyline? What songs would you emphasize? Who would you employ as your director? Any special scenery or locations? Support players? How would you begin and end the movie? What would be the overall theme. Would you devote more time to the earlier years or to the recent past? -------- ...thinking of girls with their fingers in my curls...too young to understand how love begins |

Great topic....
Right off the top of my head I have always thought about his early years...Story goes that GL used to travel around the Great Lakes in a Chevy station wagon (far cry from the Lear jet). Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo, London (Ontario), in the mid sixties. He was playing the coffee houses and bars. He used to play in a place called "LaCave" here in Cleveland. GL does mention it once and while when he is touring the area. He mentioned in at the concert in Erie recently. After all those years, he must still have fond memories. Those must have been some times. At that time, little did anyone realize how big he would get. Sorry for rambling, Wes....... |
No steeling my idea! Just kidding. Actually, my sister and I have already cast The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald made for TV movie. Most of the characters, however, are individuals which we have encountered in our lifetimes, and not accomplished actors. It promises to be a great show if it ever, in fact, comes to fruition.
In regards to who might play Gord. Hmmm. No one in particular comes to mind. The individual chosen would need to possess the following traits: humility, good looks, a great appreciation for Gord, and a pair of ball-fringe jeans. potter 'Looking at the rain Feeling the pain of love lost running through my veins' GL |

Hi classicmixdj,
I agree that this is a GREAT topic. Personally, I must embarass myself by admitting that I don't know any of the names mentioned in this posting. Even though I like to go to the movies, I find myself unable to stick an actor's name to a character. So I am somewhat inept about this whole topic. But I really like the idea of a movie, I wonder why there hasn't been one. I wouldn't mind if it were a 6-part series. With lots of intermissions where songs are played. I think it was in the Sound-stage broadcasting of 1979 where Gordon Lightfoot performed "CRT" and they showed old black&white pictures of the construction of the railway. It was very appealing to have the song & pictures together. I can also imagine that the "Wreck" would come out fabulous with the right pictures to it. Or "Restless" with visions of Canada. But I have one more suggestion for the cast: Minor Role, walk-on part: Florian Bodenseher http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif Where do I need to apply? |
Well, I don't know who you would get for the part. But I think a professional writer who is very close to Gord and who knows all there is to know about him, as well as someone he admires a great deal should write the screenplay. My vote is with Rob. I think Valerie should do it. She's perfect for the job.
Stay loose, eh? Leslie ------------------ "Love and maple syrup go together like the sticky winds of winter when they meet.... If you go into the forest Gaze up through the trees The sky is white. You can understand What makes the forest Greet the man Like a mother's only child ..." |

Yes, it does, Rob. I am a screenwriter. But Val has definitely shown all the qualifications I described.
Besides, writing a screenplay about Gord's life would be a tremendous undertaking and would have to be done with great care and tact. Gord is a man who will "not have his wounds touched." Whoever takes on such a project would have to tread with great care and EARN his trust. Not an easy task. I'm sure Valerie fits the bill to a tee. She is always so quick to answer everyone's questions and she is extremely prolific and she has "nothing but Gord's best interests at heart." And she wouldn't dream of exploiting him in any way, I'm sure. Right, Florian? But, Potter, if you would like someone to write a rendition of the "Edmund Fitzgerald", I offer you my qualifications. Rob, Thank you for your kind suggestion. Stay loose, eh? LAMS ------------------ "Love and maple syrup go together like the sticky winds of winter when they meet....

This reply is a little off the subject but a couple of years ago while search the web I came across a movie poster for an upcoming motion picture about the Edmund Fitzgerald, it was going to star Sean Connery and I think the other was Anthony Hopkins as the two ships captains..the caption read " Two ships, one fateful night" it looked real interesting but haven't heard anything else on it! LAMS have you heard anything?

There is a young actor over here called Iain Glen. He looks astonishingly like the young Gord and he can act. He has recently been on Broadway with Nicole Kidman in 'The Blue Room', in case anybody got to see it. I think he would be great as our Gord. If someone can tell me in very simple terms how to post a picture, I'll show you him.

Wow this is a great topic. The best thing about the Lightfoot movie would be the musical score, no doubt! I have no idea who could do him justice, to be honest, but I think that it should not be a requirement that he look just like Gord. Let's face it, the movies about Elvis' life that cast some no-talent look alike are never very good. I think it's more important that our star can capture that Lightfoot mystique.
As far as a Edmund Fitzgerald movie goes, I have longed dreamed of that coming to fruition! It's interesting that Chuck mentions Connery playing a role in a possible film on the subject, since he is my favorite actor, and I've long thought it would be great to see him in a film inspired by a Lightfoot song. The closest thing so far was the Molly Maguires, where Sean Connery played a coal miner in Pennsylvania, rebelling against the 'Big Business' that kept his character, Jack Kehoe breaking his back for petty wages. The whole story would be perfectly complimented by 'Boss Man'. |

I'm unfamiliar with Ian Glens work. I choose Mr. Mortensen because he has proven he has the depth, the range, the intensity and the senitivity to conveive to the audience the emotional impact required by a stellar dramatic actor, such as he. LAMS is pushing for Michael Parks because they look so much alike. But I really racked my brain trying to find just the right actor for Gord's role. The thing that a lot of people miss about Gordon is his tremendous sense of humor. It's low key, sarcastic, intelligent, playful and teasing. Little of this comes thru in his music and just a tiny bit more is exposed during his concerts. but when you spend time with him, he's a total hoot to be around. These same qualities seem to exude from Mr. Mortensen. My feelings are, as I know a few people with stars around thier names, don't really act, persay. They look at a script, think about how they would react in the charactor's situation, and usually, the lines, fit just exactly what they themselves would do or say. This says alot about some of the worlds great stars. They are just people like the rest of us, doing their jobs the best they can. And isn't wonderful that they have chosen, Like Gordon, to make themselves and who they are available to the world.:)))) Rob |

This is a great topic. The responses are wonderful to read but I don't think a movie of this sort could ever do justice to Gord.
I always hoped that VH1 would create a Behind the Music episode on Gord immediately followed by a Gordon Lightfoot Storytellers segment. That would be 2 hours of great TV! Does anyone have any contacts at VH1? |
I love this topic.
I would start the movie with Gord standing thumbing on the side of a frozen highway with just the hills all aglaze with the snow of lonliness and the heart ever wandering in search of a home.Playing in the background would be'Ten Degrees and Freezing'.That seemed to be Gord's inauspious start, playing bars and coffee houses where he endeared himself with the lost and lovely women of the world and then I would proceed to document his musical and personal progression with all its hard learned lessons that he shares with us in his songs. I mean 'I would be happy just to hold the hand I love.On this Winter's Night with you' Hey, wouldnt we all:} It is no small error in statistics that most Canadian babies are conceived in the winter while the storms rage outside and the fires burn within our hearts.No body knows us like Gord. Now, who could play him.HMMMM.Someone who is ruggedly handsome but has the weathered lines of a life well lived on his face.I'll get back to you on that one. |

Rob and Leslie,
I have to admit that I am very flattered by your kind words and your votes of confidence in me. I would love to write Gord's biography and have thought about it for a long time now, although I have never considered the screenplay format. Whether I will ever get to do this, I don't know, but I really appreciate it that you both think I could do it. ------------------ Valerie Magee |
Val,
Do both. Gets you a Puletzer(hope I spelled that right) and an Oscar. Waste no time. Start today. LOL. Rob |

Isabella,
Yeah, Like that. And this Semi pulls over after the opening credits. Gord lugs his guitar into the cab and puts it between his legs, resting his head on it. Drive: Where you headed kid? Gord: Home. Driver: What's there? Gord: A girl. Driver: What's her name? Gord: Marianne. Gordon stares off at the distant mountains, as the driver rolls his cigar around in his mouth. Just the sound of the engine. Fade [This message has been edited by Rob Wells (edited May 24, 2000).] |

Fictionalized bios seldom do a person justice...neither do documentaries really. I'm a video producer/college professor. As I lifelong fan, I have a lot of info on Gord, but nowhere near what you guys have.
I tried to get Gord for an interview about eight years ago for a guitar documentary I was producing...was politely, but firmly turned down. (I did get a really good interview with Ian Tyson). A VH1 show is an astronomical long shot just because of music biz economics...their documentaries have steadily gone down hill into formulaic promotional pieces. PBS or the CBC would be better options...and they would be the only ones with clout and $ enough to access rare film and video. (Burt Sugarman wouldn't license any Midnight Special footage at the time either). But on a more optimistic note...why not pool our resources to produce something? Certainly couldn't sell it because of copyright issues...and Gord would probably get REAL ticked off (no control + who's to say what the real story is & what should be focued on). I'd love to do something, but there are some serious issues standing in the way. Anything palpable to everyone might end up being pretty thin. Sorry for rambling. |
Bill,
Agreed. There are many obsticles to over come. First is convincing Gordon to let us do this. We could pool the resources. I'm sure of that. This would be a docu-drama. This would also be best produced as an independant effort, likley being premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. This world is literally filled with Gordon's fans. Seems as if there's one on every corner and we are talking people in very high places. Lams and Val Magee have something of a little more than just a minor reputation in the business and there are more than just a handful of us that are very close to Gordon. Convincing him, if he knows it's us, I don't think would take that much of an effort. Especially, since these are people he trusts. The big studio's are certainly out. If you read all of the threads on this discussion board, it its easy to see that keeping the facts straight seems to be an underlying theme for the members. Therefore I feel that keeping the storyline within reasonable boundries wouldn't be an issue. As a parting comment, let me add, that I e-mailed The Biography Channel of The Arts and Entertainment Network just yesterday and asked why they had not done his biography as yet. I have yet to recieve a reply. Still I like the idea of producing such a venture ourselves.

I'm afraid I have to agree with Bill. Anyone who would undertake a project like this WITHOUT the express permission of Gord could find themselves in somewhat of a spot both professionally AND civilly. I seriously doubt that he would take at all kindly to anyone taking it upon themselves to write up something and then put it up on the "silver screen" for the world to see without making sure that EVERYTHING is fact. And even then, there are many things he may not WANYT included in it at all. I know Kitty Kelly does that sort of thing, but .... well, she has paid dearly, believe me. And she usually waits until someone is DEAD before she writes anything at all.
This is a very fun thread, but at the risk of opening my mouth again and being beat soundly about the head and shoulders, my suggestion to you, on a serious note, it to leave a project like this to someone who not only knows the industry, but who also knows that the FIRST step is to gain the trust of the one you wish to write about and who can figure out how to do that.

Just HAD to come back. (Promise to shut up after this).
With regard to Bill's suggestion .... Why don't you guys get together and WRITE something ... not professionally, but all in fun. For example, Isabella came up with a very beautiful opening scene. Go with it and everyone contribute. If you would like to do it in screenplay format, I would be happy to help with the technicalities of that. Then, when it's done, bind it nicely and present it to Gord as a sort of "tribute." I'm sure he would be touched and there would be no risk of offending him because no one would be trying to "get" anything from him. Just a group of admirers expressing themselves in a unique way. I have a writing e-mail group at Egroups called "The Meow Mafia". It's for cat lovers. Years ago, this thing started where we were sitting around and laughing about our cats and we came up with this "parallel" to "The Godfather." We jokingly called it "The Godkitty". You can't believe what people came up with. It's priceless. (Things like characters named "Kitty Litter" and "Chihuahua Gonzalez, part of the Alley Patrol, who went undercover as a cat, but blew his cover when he lifted his leg in the litter box" -- stuff like that. Anyway, I started the writing group and it is really good fun. I know this has nothing to do with Gord, but if you guys would like to do something like that, write a "mock" (I know that's not the right word, but you get my gist") film about him to give to him at a later date, I think that would be a very good thing. Like that story thread that got started using song titles, which unfortunately kind of "Faded Away". And just when I wanted to find out if the guy really DID go up to Canada -- darn. We should give THAT to Gord. He would LOVE it. (Maybe we should start that again, by the way --- Florian???? Interested???) Okay, just suggestions. I'll go away now. Stay loose, eh?

Can I back up Silver Heels' suggestion of Iain Glen as Gord in his 60s fresh faced period.
On a lighter note, here's an eclectic list of possibles: 70s-80s Gord: Ralph Fiennes, Tom Berenger, Alan Rickman, Patrick Bergen, Bill Nighey, Nick Nolte and the cast of 'Tombstone' especially Kurt Russell and Sam Elliott. Older Gord: Sam Sheppard Even older Gord: Paul Newman Very Old Gord who could sing: Robert Duvall Don't fry me!
