Brian Wilson wins all the awards.
River Road Entertainment, which has previously produced features like “The Tree of Life” and “Fair Game,” said that it is developing a film about Mr. Wilson, who with his brothers, Dennis and Carl, and Mike Love and Al Jardine formed the Beach Boys in 1961.
River Road Entertainment said in a statement that its film would “take an unconventional look at Wilson’s unique musical process as well as his struggles with mental illness, and how he managed to persevere as an artist with the love and support of his wife Melinda.” The company has secured the musician’s life rights for the project, and Oren Moverman, the director and co-writer of “The Messenger,” will write its screenplay.
