  1. Dope is nature's way of telling a rock star they make too much money..Joplin, Morrison, Hendrix…to name a few…..and that often jumps to other celebrities …..

  2. Wow that movies been shelved for years!!! How'd they finally make it happen!!! Wow….

  3. Shailene, no joke, if you want to pull this off you will have to channel her and you will be fine.

  4. That's nice to hear

  5. I always thought Jennifer Lawrence would have been the perfect actress to portray Janis. And if it was made like 20 years ago, Pink would have been a good candidate for the part but can she acts ??? Good for Shailene for winning this part cause she's as good as a J-Law . Same brilliant, energetic, intense, passionate, natural way of acting. She can slay in that role and even got an oscar cause Janis had a very rich, intense life. Full of adventures, of ups and downs. She was a pretty fascinating character ! Good luck Shailene ! I know you can do it ! ❤

  6. They better do this biopic JUSTICE!! bc Janice was that soul queen and she understood being the "black sheep" the "outcast" for being "DIFFERENT" I got into her music on my own & she wasn't no KAREN!! she wasn't a IMITATOR of black culture, she was HERSELF! who was INSPIRED by the BLUES, SHE had SOUL & was pure ROCK & roll

  7. Nothing will ever come close to Jenna Maroney as Jackie Jormpjomp on 30 Rock tho.😜

  8. She does resemble her a little bit. This is going to be so good! Love Janis! Love Shailene! 🙂

  9. Are they probably gonna name the movie “Piece of My Heart” ? Will it be distributed by 20th Century Studios or Fox Searchlight Pictures, Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros Pictures, Lionsgate, or Sony Pictures/ Columbia Pictures or TriStar Pictures?

  10. The movie The Rose is Janis Joplin adjacent. Thank you, Shaliene for this. I can't wait

  11. Ready for this Janis joplin bio pic📽Kristofferson and Janis 🫡(IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW)
