• matt2001 @filmzmaker85 Shortly after, Beth shows Tim the tape of Marilyn Sheppard's death, and he is concerned that the same might happen to her, and bans her from watching said tape ever again. She then decides to follow her husband to the recording studio, via bicycle, in hopes of keeping him from getting into trouble.

  • matt2001   @filmzmaker85 In one scene, Beth (Kristen Li) learns of INXS' existence, and decides to call up their manager, Chris Murphy. He assures her that they are busy, and she responds by demanding that he hand the line over to her husband. Things turn sour when Tim finds out that his wife never wanted him to be a part of some cheap knockoff rock band.

• filmzmaker85 @matt2001 here’s another scene idea. During the Kick era, it opens with the classic video for “Need You Tonight” and during the scene where the band is touring, Michael is wearing his all-black hutch jacket and Tim is wearing his red jacket, Kick tank top, blue leggings with white stars and red shoes

  • matt2001   @filmzmaker85 How should the end credits turn out?

  • filmzmaker85   @matt2001 I would have a Ken Burns-style epilogue before the end credits, and for the last quarter of the end credits would be INXS performing in live concert, the famous closing song "Don't Change"

• filmzmaker85 @matt2001 Michael Hutchence's unreleased material being discovered, INXS finding a new lead singer and the group disbanding in 2012 could be mentioned in the pre-end credits epilogue

  • filmzmaker85   @matt2001 Hmm...that'd be tough. May be the band stepping onto the stage (slow motion) and then they play the song "Kick" before the title of the movie appears. Followed by the text "Coming Soon" before fade-out
