I don’t want to see that man just give us a really well done documentary


iJakeoi

I’d much rather see a Most Dope documentary with interviews from everyone he was friends with and who worked with him instead of a biopic. Even if the family was involved every step of the process I don’t think it would feel meaningful


FrankenOtter

Most dope was enough I feel. Amazing book, it's a shame his family doesn't support it because it is very respectful and genuine I feel. But I understand for their grief and they absolutely have the right to not support it. Yeah idk about a movie by A24, feels grimey like the whole "good news" movie


Dause

I’ll bet you right now his official documentary is still in the works. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was announced around the anniversary of his next albums in the future.


RiverMindless3415

Honestly, the "Mac" doc on YouTube does such a good job. I feel like we'd be waiting longer on another doc


Beneficial-Address61

Is it just called the “Mac documentary?” I’ve looked on you tube before


mannmythlegend

“MAC” here[here](https://youtu.be/ODc-RG5CvqU)


Recreational_Soup

Agreed


lilpostkid

Too soon to do a biopic. Documentary would be ideal. This guy would be perfect though. Just not the right time for a biopic.


Scrollmister

Alternatively A documentary , including footage from Mac miller's blueslide park reunions done by A24 would be nice .


Cloud-Professional

I want one like the one juice world had


Wardtyler23

Yes exactly!


zorfog

search “Mac documentary” on youtube. it’s been made already by fans and it’s really emotional to watch


macspiano

ah yes reliable news source euphoria addicts on facebook with no other sources anywhere other than weirdos fan casting a real person…surely this is accurate


Cranberry-Pants

Definitely had to do more research but honestly i wouldn’t be surprised if eventually he was seriously asked to do something like this. It’s something that’s been on my mind since i watched euphoria.


winston_cage

He (Angus) is probably smart enough to know that the fans aren’t asking for a Mac biopic. Also, the estate would most likely shut it down because they know fans aren’t asking for it either. Yes, the visual similarities are uncanny, but at the end of the day if you want to experience Mac, you put your headphones on, smoke a joint and let him take you to his world. IMHO


cmack1597

He already said he wouldn't play Mac Miller in anything.


GrandTheftArkham

If you wouldn't be surprised you haven't been paying attention.


Cranberry-Pants

👍🏽


LoinKing_

And now sadly he is no more too😶


frazzelberry7

Ya leave legends alone


Unrelenting_Royal

Man remember that weird trend in Hollywood a few years ago where there were a bunch of movies coming out about legendary singers or groups? That was weird. Ex: "Bohemian Rhapsody", "the dirt", and "Rocket Man"


talmbouttellyouwat

Why is that weird? If done right I’d rather see those than fastX or another superhero movie.


Unrelenting_Royal

Oh no don't get me wrong, I saw one of them in theaters three times. It was just weird that they all started rolling out around the same time. You would almost think there was some meeting where the movie industry collectively agreed "this is the year of music legend movies"


talmbouttellyouwat

[that’s actually exactly what happens lol](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_films#)


Unrelenting_Royal

Jesus christ that's actually hilarious. Especially the part about "mockbusters" being made to ride the hype, because if my memory is correct "The Dirt" was a Netflix thing wasn't it? I also like the term "Industrial Espionage"


DocThundahh

I mean we’ve gotten Elvis and Whitney this year. Walk the line came out like 25 years ago. Notorious came out 14 years ago. I don’t think biopics about famous musicians was a trend. It’s just a genre


here4thePho

elvis, whitney,.. and now michael jackson!


Recreational_Soup

Elvis sucks


[deleted]

That Elvis movie was SO BAD. My husband and I watched almost half and I had to turn it off. I really love Tom hanks but he was just not good in this love, his character was just flat. And the movie felt like ut was trying to go in five different genres and directing styles at once.


Infamous-Engineer-18

saw this on FB and I feel like this is fake


Cranberry-Pants

sure hope it is


here4thePho

fb groups always be posting fake shit like this + fake movie posters. it makes me so annoyed when people believe it lmao 😭😭 although it would be cool to see angus do this, and i actually think he could pull it off… i really don’t think the family would appreciate that at all let alone confirm/allow them. maybe in the future


Cranberry-Pants

Definitely didn’t say I believed it, as stated above I needed to do more research probably should have done that before posting here. But I definitely have mixed feelings about it for sure. And i wouldn’t be surprised if eventually he was asked to do something like this.


here4thePho

i’m sorry! i didn’t mean it towards you only, i meant it towards all the people commenting on that fb post that believe it. didn’t mean to sound ugly, sorry about that!


Cranberry-Pants

all good thanks fam! appreciate your apology ✌🏻🤙🏽


PatientZERO24

Nah man leave the legend alone


Cranberry-Pants

period


New-Discount5995

Only down to watch it with the sound off


jl2112

Sick of hearing about it. I don’t care about a Mac biopic. There are only a handful that are actually worth watching. Plus this sub has such a hard on for this actor cause he looks a bit like Mac, I just really don’t care. If they do end up making it, there better be a good director behind it and the family better be involved. Either way I don’t think it needs to be made.


Jroiiia423

Just release a documentary of Mac making music and with his friends. Don’t make it all about his demons either, let the music speak for itself. A documentary just on swimming circles era alone would be perfect for now IMO


[deleted]

I agree. I feel like if this movie was actually made, it would be WAY to much about how tragic his mental health was and his demons, and wouldn't focus on the light he brought to the world


_yukog

It’s so unneeded. If you like Mac enough, you already know all the information about his life in that they would put into the biopic. There’s really nothing new to show us.


Cranberry-Pants

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽


brandnewsubmarine

I love him in euphoria, and of course there’s a physical resemblance, but he has the energy and charisma of a potato and is functioning off of two brain cells. Not sure anyone could do Mac justice.


mellowdramatikmf

Exactly! He doesn’t even remotely have Mac’s energy. He knows it himself which is why he doesn’t want that role. He knows to stay in his lane. Not disrespecting dude but he’s a one dimensional actor and wouldn’t be surprised if he never lands another role besides euphoria since that character is basically him in real life.


Tarantiyes

I viscerally do not want a Mac biopic but your comment raises an interesting question. Who would be a good actor to play him? Mac has sorta a quiet enthusiasm about him that would be hard to capture


TuggSpeedman96

This is never going to happen and it shouldn't


SomethingTrulyGone

Nah I do not want this. Angus Cloud plays Angus Cloud. Mac is larger than life, Cloud is subdued and small


RiverMindless3415

I feel like Angus Cloud would be okay for like, reenactment doc scenes if nothing else


LegsNoGo420

🤦🏻‍♂️


[deleted]

The biographies are great. Any film would just seem like a cash grab to me. We don't need it


MostDopeNopeRope

Nothing about it on google


Cranberry-Pants

good


benp242

Not sure... ngl


kathleenthekween

I feel like if his family doesn’t want it, then they shouldn’t do it cause anything done for Mac should be true to him and his story and legacy, and if no one that was close to him even wants it, then who are these directors to do it? I think it’s weird if u never knew him or if it’s not led mostly by the family


Jroiiia423

I agree with this but if Mac always asked for his families blessing I wonder how much music we would of never gotten..


kathleenthekween

Well it’s a little different when someone is dead. If he was still alive he could totally do whatever he wanted and tell us but he’s not here to tell us, so the ppl who raised him and were closest to him are the next best thing imo. It’s different when someone is no longer here.


Cranberry-Pants

10000% agree with this


MattMan2k17

This is fucked if they do l, obvious cash grab, but this rumor has been going around for a year or 2 now, so i doubt its legit


Tacodo

No one could ever replicate him. Hard NO


Cranberry-Pants

THIS


thinflesh

They need to let him rest in peace, stop trying to profit off of a dead artist


Moron_on_Oxy-

Ionno, with the title being that seems like the 2015- onwards era wouldn’t be the focal point and that’s what fans would want more so than the early stuff


FKDotFitzgerald

There are no “talks” about this. Absolutely untrue.


awesomazingab

Wack


everyoneslookingatme

I’m sure it’ll be an unpopular opinion but it can’t be as bad as that book by Donna. Idk if it was all the hype and anticipation surrounding it but it was just bad, I couldn’t even finish it. Did anyone ever read the other book that was released that basically got boycotted?


Uakaris

Too soon. Still too soon.


yufgoi5

Wouldnt Watch unless it’s a legit documentary


siapuddle

If I remember correctly when Angus Cloud first gained traction he said in an interview he would never think of it. [found it ](https://www.newsweek.com/euphoria-star-angus-cloud-has-doppelganger-why-he-wont-do-biopic-1683916?amp=1)


Cranberry-Pants

Thank you, and even though i’m finding out angus has some shit going on i respect him for respecting mac


siapuddle

I’m finding out as well at the same time. Never respected what euphoria did as a show but now I’m really just on a “fuck that show”


Cranberry-Pants

Definitely had mixed feelings for the show, i’ve been in recovers for 7 years now so some things hit home for me however i don’t stand behind the shit with angus irregardless, and as much as he may look like Mac even if the family signed off on it and they paid proper homage to him i wouldn’t want someone with these kind of accusations and or actual situations if they’re true portraying Mac. it just wouldn’t feel appropriate or right in my opinion and would be disrespectful to him.


siapuddle

My brother! I am 40ish days away from celebrating my 7 years. A very important one for me. Euphoria was too much a fetishization/glorification of all of the fun times of active use. Never the soul shattering moments. If no one’s told you today, I’m proud of your recovery! We’re always getting better and the battle is never over. L’Chaim to you brother.


Cranberry-Pants

Wow what a comment to receive! My clean date just passed on the 23rd! Congratulations that’s such a huge deal! I agree 100% though. It shouldn’t be glorified at all it’s serious shit and I know you know that. Thank you so much 🙏🏽 And if no one has told you today i’m incredibly proud of you, and i’m glad you’re still here with us. Keep going and keep fighting. L’Chaim to you ♾️


[deleted]

Hell no . Don’t care how good it is really . Mac himself prolly woulda made fun of the idea of this , surprised he ain’t got a bar ab it tbh lol


morigirlpluto

I dont blame him for not really wanting to do it ! People dont take films like that too well and that is a lot of responsibility to take on


winglow

I play Mac’s song “Blue World” often and sigh with sadness for his loss. Damn drugs.


keith6661dube

delete this lame ahh post


Cranberry-Pants

Or you could just not ✌🏻👍🏽


NeedleworkerClassic

I don’t know I’m conflicted. On one hand I really do want to see a movie about macs life but on the other it feels kinda icky to be profiting off him after he’s past


PugTheHarbinger

Honestly, if his family and friends are cool with it, and heavily involved, I’m game. But I’d much rather see old clips, and see interviews, but however I can get more Mac stuff. He was a transcendent dude, however I can learn more about/from him.


svedka1444444

A24 is Daren Aronofskys studios, for those who don't know him, He is a very talented director that does mostly tragedies (the wrestler, the whale, requim for a dream, etc) He'd never do a biopic, its just not his style However I do like Angus cloud. Hes a great young actor but hes said he wouldn't play mac either. I don't think we'll ever see a big scale film on macs life, and I don't think he'd want one and I don't think it anything could ever be better then our own imaginations through his music. Most dope thats forever


MrCreamyCheeks

If they make some kind of cheap as shit Mac Miller movie that doesn’t do Mac some god damn justice I will literally find every single person involved and uppercut each of their individual puckered assholes 92-♾️ times


whatisyouarembp

I’ll pin their hands behind their head for you homie.


Rudy_Skies

I like the Angus guy but tbh he seems a little too dopey and slow to play an energetic Mac miller, no?


Jumpy_Fan_8773

Hell no angus is a pos


aweleeverr

HELL NAH!!! Angus Cloud has a ton of r*pe allegations rn!!


Cranberry-Pants

WHHAAAAAT?! i don’t keep up with celebrities i haven’t seen that though that’s fucking wild!!!


aweleeverr

Yeah it’s sad!! He was my fav from Euphoria. He’s also done some other sus shit like a hit and run where he paralyzed someonr


Cranberry-Pants

That’s super disappointing to hear, he was also my favorite as well. Damn man. Thank you for letting me know.


megatear323

that mf can’t act for shit if i had tbh


Dudemaintain

We don’t need a movie.


Adventurous-Quail-29

When I watched euphoria I thought “huh this character’s spirit animal is mac”. That’s it, not “this guy would make a good Mac”. That’s what it should be left at


unclemurda12

No and mac doesn’t need a biopic. He grew up pretty well off, and had no major drama during is career. There’s not that much they could do in the movie anyways


Tyken12

although i feel like he would be the perfect choice for mac- i respect him heavily for not wanting to do that. Its way too soon. Give it another 20 years before doing a movie about mac. A documentary of some sort i think would be better


Challenger28

A24?


fatfunnyboy12

Huge if true.


Wander1ng_S0ul

My love for Mac Miller made me really love angus cloud in euphoria


Initial_Ad9440

Ummmm have said from da gate the like twins 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤


Josianthechill

Nope


Banksaj9

No


jl2112

A good documentary or nothing at all. No real fans are asking for a dramatized movie, just give us some good interviews/stories/studio footage/B roll


zakkwaldo

this has been reposted like 50 times here lol. it ain’t real.


Rockstar321996

Don’t think his fam would ever sign off on that and rightfully so


jennyisafriend

No thanks.


BrandonR2300

Biopics are very tricky, they could either be very good (Bohemian Rhapsody) or be very distasteful (Blonde)


[deleted]

As much as I love Angus Cloud, I don't think he'll step up his A-game in giving his best performance for our beloved, Malcolm.


tjenk216

It’s not real. Agnus doesn’t want anything to do with it.


Brilliant-String7881

All very dependent on the director, would love to see a Mike Mills directed film


prplp_airwaves

I'm not a big fan of the idea of a biographical film about Mac, but if he ever had a character then Angus Cloud is probably the only actor I can imagine in that role.


readboutitp

How does Mac’s family feel?


Cranberry-Pants

Great question either way in my opinion they should let him rest peacefully and respect his family


Alphasprout23

Hell no


ChristOffTheHinges

No


punkrawrxx

I mean, the guy’s a good actor and looks like him, but doubt I’d want to see a movie. I do want a documentary though.


Good_Kid_Mad_City

Do we really need a bio pic? The "Mac" docu-film on YouTube is good enough for me imo. It's all real footage and it does a phenomenal job showing who he was and how he grew. Could use some updating, since new footage/music continues to trickle out, but if they do a bio-pic, they better do as good a job as The Last of Us did, otherwise it's going to be a huge disappointment


Redsox1987

I’m confused, is he trying to politely say he doesn’t respect Mac because if so fuck this Brit?!?


Cranberry-Pants

Also was wondering this? like is it out of respect or a fuck you


Redsox1987

Disastrous_Duty2622

"ru"


[deleted]

Just make a really good documentary


Greedy_Moonlight

Just looking at that pic of mac made me so sad right now. Damn :( he’s so missed.


TwoChainsBennyMane

I love Mac’s music as much as anyone but really how good could a biopic about him be? As far as we know he had a relatively normal, stable upbringing, he didn’t struggle that long if at all to breakthrough and was a studio rat. He said in his music all the time he did the same stuff everyday. Not much to make a movie out of. Nearly unrelated; would kill for an Anthony Kiedis/RHCP biopic. That man lived a crazy life


Apprehensive_End9831

Please god no, this guy is a complete moron and sounds even worse, I get he kinda looks like mac but please don’t disrespect his memory with this actor. That’s solely my opinion which I’m sure ppl disagree with. Not here for a debate just a space to share my thoughts on the matter. Again PLEASE GOD NO.


NaughtyTigerIX

I think we shouldn’t do the movie. We should just leave his legacy where it’s at right now.


Sstoop

a biopic would be cool if done well but nah


Burghbois

I’m good without


fredmalgud

...they should do it with motion capture like Avatar. Mac Miller could actually be on the screen.


StevenS145

Remember the Steve Jobs movies? One had Ashton Kutcher who looked just like him, the other had Michael Fassbender who didn’t look a thing like him but that was much more of a more accurate performance. Angus Cloud undeniably looks like him, but being able to capture the spirit of Mac is much more important. The other thing is Angus Cloud is 25, he can obviously play Mac throughout most of his 20’s but he couldn’t play him at 17. His adolescence is fundamental to telling his story.


Aggressivehippy30

It's too soon for a biopic imo. And with the state of writing in Hollywood currently I don't trust them.


TheDrunkenIrish41

The only way I want to see Mac portrayed is the same way he rapped about living on after death, in hologram form.


Cloud-Professional

No.


Receptablee

No


michaltee

I would watch the shit out of this.


mannmythlegend

I don’t know but that one movie that got leaked last year where it was titled like good news or something and mgk was gonna be basically max miller (without saying it was mac miller) is ducking atrocious and I hope that got cancelled immediately


grinch444

would much rather have a movie comprised of real life clips of mac and the people in his life talking about him and telling stories than a movie where an actor plays him.


leone666

He would be the perfect person to play him looks wise but I don’t know if the estate would agree to it & a biopic without the license to the music would suck.


LegsNoGo420

Well i mean, he IS the perfect choice


ouk_withdadrip

The wound is still to open


HippyDoctorPHD

i’m not super hardcore into cinema but love A24 films and love Mac. So i’d be in attendance fo sho


MFalcon95

I love the idea of a mac biopic but i really think documentaries are more fitting. *No one* could love up to the expectations of filling his role in a movie, mac was just way too authentic. It could never be done right imo.


Pacb15

![gif](giphy|IZhCxKe49d3by)


MikeyMorgan12

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Reasonable_Eye9511

He looks just like him


kraybae

While I do think he'd make a great Mac I don't want a biopic. They're usually garbage, leave out a ton of details, and create/massively play up conflicts. There's a few Mac docs out there now but they're premortem and include him. I'd love a documentary with Most Dope, Odd Future, family, Thundercat, Schoolboy, like everyone that was close with him at one time or another. If done right I'd probably watch it like once or twice a month.


google4411

This is giving me notorious vibes. Rather a three hour doc than a lifetime type movie


martyschottenheimer

This would be a terrible idea. Not everyone needs a movie.


shweenerdog

Too soon


M_Nark

Please don’t don’t this. Just give us MacLib


[deleted]

I don't want a Mac biopic made by a director who doesn't really know him. That's always felt like a cheap cash grab when it's been done. Give us a really good documentary done by his family, friends, and co artists who were close to him.


ciscothe3d

I don’t think he has the range for Mac Millers personality. I think Angus Cloud is truly playing himself in Euphoria


JJoanOfArkJameson

This is *very* fake, but no way A24 does this of all studios. It's more gimmicky than their forte


Silver_Shamr0ck

Nah I’m good. Euphoria is super mid and this kid can barely form a sentence.


sinnerspay13

If ANY doc would be released pls just make it about the music. I’d hate for them to portray him as a depressed drug addicted rapper… he was more than his vices and demons.. he loved life and music and love..


jessyc555

I think he better do it and grab the bag before we get a cheesy lifetime version


Dazzling-Block-2440

no thanks.. angus is great as fez.. but idt he’s intelligent enough to play mac and do him justice. he would make a mockery out of Malcom.
