The production company are gonna make this film whatever we say,think or do, let's be honest it will be a work of fiction based on Wigan Casino and the soul scene circa 1974, let's hope Jonathan Ross gives it a good review of Film 2009 and it's entertaining, I agree with Joan that every effort should be made to use and credit original material and the film makers need to take on board as much as they can to at least attempt to get everything correct most of all the sound track, fact is Weller, Winehouse, Duffy etc. have nothing what so ever to do with the soul scene then, now or otherwise, I really think that authentic non soul music from the time would capture the period far better than modern day artists for the non soul scenes and the best possible again authentic soul sound track circa 1974, the BBC managed to capture the early 70's period perfectly with 'Life On Mars' so I would have thought that the same can be done on the big screen.
