Okay, let's pretend here.

Let's just say that a channel like VH1 is going to do a tv movie on the band Styx. It will start from the very beginning and go to the events of today and where they are now. Styx: The Grand Illusion

For the band members, all 10, which actors do you think would be perfect to play them. Obviously since this will be a tv made movie, you can't pick HUGE movie stars.

I'm thinking the same actors will be played from the beginning to the end, so they will have to age them, keep that in mind.

Remember, this is just pretend. Oh, and please be nice

Any takers on this post?

Couldnt DDY, Tommy, JY & Chuck play themselves as they gave such near oscar winning performances on Caught In The Act....

HELP!!!! My Tongue Is Stuck Firmly In My Cheek....

Dennis needs to be played by ................................. Froy!!

David Spade, for some reason, reminds me of Tommy Shaw...

Go with it people, go with it.....lol

Yes DEFINITELY David Spade as Shaw
Ted Nugent in the role of JY
Ben Stiller in the role of Burtnik
Neil Diamond as DeYoung
Paul Giamatti as John Panozzo
Harvey Keitel as Gowan

LOL It's true!! When I saw Styx back in 1999 (in the cornfield-LOL), Tommy looked EXACTLY like David Spade. A lot of people up front at that concert said the same thing.

I wish there was a way on here I could post pictures. I have a few pictures of David Spade, eh, I mean Tommy from that concert.

Darren, the parts of the band will not be played by themselves. Maybe a cameo or more at the end.....................

Noooo Darren as DeYoung
and... Froy as Gowan
LOL

I will play Dennis as long as you play Suzanne Baby........

when did Suite say DDY's wife was a part of this? LOL

Actually all the wives would be part of this project. Also the managers, road crew, etc. This will tell the whole story of Styx

Ok I see, so it's not just about the making of the band, So If I play Suzanne does that mean I get the jewelry she wears as well? the private jets, the long holidays, vacation homes, a sexy husband to sing to me every night lol etc....if so Count me in lol
p.s. well in real life I already do get the sexy "soon to be" husband who
sings to me and I woudln't trade it for anything xo

I'm thinking private jets and vacation homes is a bit of a stretch, at least these days.

By the time your wedding roles around you two will be hyperventillating.

Wishing you many years of happiness.

Thanks very much Sadie We both need it and deserve it
well, I don't know their financial status but it sure sounded good didn't it? and since it's a movie can we pretend? lol I'm not into material things anyway, but a LONG holiday does sound nice, like from May 17th - May 27th to see Asia and DARE in the UK lol and again in June to see Styx 3 times

This is a VERY old comparison. I know I talked about it on either Prodigy or GEnie back in 1992 or so.

Well, not all of us can be as old school and as 31337 as you

Sorry Monker, I didn't have a computer way back in 1992 so I didn't see your VERY old comparison. Also there are a lot of "newbies" on these boards that might not have read the VERY old comparison either.

We're just trying to have fun!! You always take all these boards, especially ALL the Journey boards so seriously.

Back to the subject at hand here.

Not sure who I would cast, but here is Suite's ideal casting:

DDY - Johnny Depp
JY - Johnny Depp
TS - Johnny Depp
JP - Johnny Depp
CP - Johnny Depp

John C - Johnny Depp

Actually, YOU are the one taking it seriously. All I did is say it was an old comparison...I said I talked about it. Explain how that is taking this conversation so seriously?

It reminds of seeing the movie "Toys" (the one with Robin Williams. Not "The Toy" with Richard Pryor"). It was just funny seeing the General say, "Send in the Tommy Tanks!" And, out rolls all of the itty bitty tanks. Lots of old, not so relevant any longer, Styx jokes there.

Also, I'm not on "all" the Journey boards. I hardly ever post to BT any more. I only post here, the Yahoo mailing list, and the newsgroup (when it is active). I signed up for RVR but I never post there. I got booted off of "The Cooler" because I was tired of neo-conservatives ruling the roost and decided to say "what the fuck" and burn as many posts as I could...and had a LOT of fun doing it. There are many Journey forums and mailings lists that I have never even signed up for...such as the various solo forums/mailing lists, or the JPP thing, and other spin-off mailings lists of BT. I haven't even looked at Perry forums/lists in years.

But, what I came here to say is the only way I would see a Styx movie is if Trey Parker played Tommy, and Matt Stone played JY. They could get whoever they wanted to play the rest of the band, I wouldn't care. They could also have Satan and Saddam guest star when they start talking about playing ice hockey on the river Styx.
