Didn't know Mike Dean was involved, I didn't recognize him. 
I think Lana might at least do a song. Would be great if it was produced by Mike and had a bombastic sound which would fit the scandalous nature of the show. BTD 2.0 would work.
 
 
 
Yeah, I don't think she would be acting but a Cameo could work. It wouldn't ask for much involvement.

Hey you guys,
 
Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye and Sam Levinson are co-creating The Idol, in which the singer will star as a self-help guru who develops a complicated relationship with an up-and-coming popstar played by Lily-Rose Depp.
 
 
Lily Rose's Character's is supposedly inspired by Britney Spears but I think it's definitely inspired by Lana as well.
 
The weeknd and Lana have always been vocal about Lana being the woman in Abel's work as well as Abel being the man in Lana's work.
We all know about the cult leader in Lana's past. She mentions him in songs likes Ultraviolence. 
What struck me the most was when Abel says "Trust no one" which is something Lana has tattooed on her skin. I don't think it's coincidental. I even wonder if it's something the cult leader told Lana before she got tattooed.
 
Even the Britney inspiration could come from Lana. After all Lana said Britney was an inspiration. I can definitely see some Britney in Lana's Born To Die era Lolita / baby doll / american dream aesthetic. 
 
So what you guys think about those connections ?
 
It's been reported that both creators have been meeting Britney Spears (and supposedly even giving her a part in the show).  Do you think that Lana is involved in the project or at the least have given approval for the inspiration ?
 
Lana has a close friendship and artistic relationship with Abel and has been approched by Levinson for a song on Euphoria. I don't see her not being involved in this project on some level. 
 
I posted this in Lana toughs so we can talk about everything Lana related in the show. Another topic might be created in the proper area to discuss other aspects of the show. 

i did ask mike dean if he's working with lana again and he liked by comment, maybe he meant he's working with her on the idol

Lana probably won't be involved because it doesn't seem like something she'd do nowadays, but I really hope she is.
 
This show seems like it's going to be a mess from everything I've heard(I'm lowkey excited for it though)

Yeah I read that before. this is crazy how Lana won her over both as a person and as an artist. 
 
 
I'm not surprised she likes her. Especially after she covered Young and Beautiful. 
 
 
 
I loved her as a kid. Don't know what she or Evanescence have been up to recently.
 
Kinda unrelated but the Ghost Lana in Barry's Riverside video reminded me of Amy Lee for some strange reasons.

Courtney Love on opening for LDR:
 
“I didht even want to do it . I didht even want to be friends with her . I'd hide in my bud when she played . Embwrassed to open for someone so younger. But she wouldn't stop trying to be my friend . She's such a good , not psycho , truly nice egg . And sober . & she just dropped off keys to her Malibu High by the beach house . When I was in trouble . Tbh I wouldn't play a note tho until the audience dumped their flower crowns at my feet . They bug tf outta me . Then when I detoxed off Xanax , she drove Frances every single day for 90 days . Even when I was just drooling on couch . Then i started listening to her music & realized she was a genius . AND . Incredibly genuine . Nice . She also snuck me out of la away from the brithey mess, they want kc publishing so tried to put me in an illegal conservatorship . Too . & she ( & gwyneth ) offered to pay attorneys. So much stuff I owe thst woman. Then lots of stuff - she hooked me up with strong sober women . a real support group . Beyond rare for someone that genius to also be not insane narcissist kind and a true friend . I love her . And I boyght her a bunch of Joni Mitchell vinyl in Portland . Which changed her life . But she changed mine . So that's it in a nut shell . She's my first colleague friend since Billie joe / stipe . She sticks up for me . & I her . STORY TIME OVER ! next youll waht boys we nay have shared ! Lol lol .”
 
- from her secret account
 
i feel like this is rlly hard to read i might transcribe  it 

Cat Power says she's got a project in mind with Lana and photographer Nan Goldin. Does it need it's own thread ? 
 
There also a few other mentions of Lana in this french article :

Here's a translation of the Lana bits :
 
 
 
 

We need this album in HQ.
But she'll probably get crucified for Put Me In A Movie

Just a reminder that Stonemilker is still the best song of all time. Let's never forget that

So I think she has a lot on her plate lately to finish the album.

I personally am not a big fan of some of Lana's covers. I  would prefer for her to cover someone less capable than she is vocally and make the song better than doing less than the original performer.
For exemple I've gotten used to her Nina Simone cover but I think her vocals being compared to Nina's don't do her justice.
 
There is a lot of room for turning Britney's catalogue upside down and making it your own. 
 
 
 
This exemple is great. There are also a lot of cool covers of Toxic out there.
 
I do agree tough that lyrically, there are not many of Britney's songs that matches the level of Lana's. But then again Break up with your girlfriend isn't singer songwriter material but it worked fine with Lana if only for once as a live rendition. I do believe she said multiple times she loves Britney, hence people anticipating a cover.
 
I personally like to be surprised and discovering a song with Lana covering it like she did with For Free for exemple. I also like it if it fits the narrative of the album. For Free is not a revolution of the song, nor is it a better performance than the original but I believe it was rightly chosen for COCC so that was fine with me.
