Brian Wilson


"There are few 20th century music figures as compelling as Brian Wilson. The former Beach Boys producer-singer had a profound effect on a generation of artists and a rich and complicated personal life even by pop-icon standards. Oren Moverman, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter behind the offbeat Bob Dylan film I'm Not There,  has been hired to write a script on Wilson's story." [Steven Zeitchik, 24 FramesMovies: Past, present and future]


"Wilson's arc is too complex to describe in a few neat sentences, but the short version, if you're not familiar with it, is this: Barely out of his teens, the Southern Californian burst on the music scene as the creative driving force of the Beach Boys. That band produced hits such as Surfin' U.S.A.,I Get Around, and California Girls." [Steven Zeitchik, 24 FramesMovies: Past, present and future]


Their 1966 album "Pet Sounds," with its unconventional instruments, harmonies and sound effects put together by Wilson, is widely regarded among pop's most important records." [Steven Zeitchik, 24 FramesMovies: Past, present and future]
