THE IDOL - inspired by Lana/Thoughts about Lana on soundtrack?

[saith 1,187]

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.

This show looks like it’s going to be panned, where is the concept? 
 

none of these are actors or atleast legitimately good-the psychotic break line was very cringey 

[star Iux 5,995]

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)

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.

[bluechemtrails 28,246]

I don't think her character is much inspired by Lana, way more by Britney.

This is a rumour I just made up solely based on the fact that The Weeknd just retweeted a video on his twitter about Lana and him talking about each other sksk.

 

But like think about it… If you were The Weeknd and you’re producing an HBO show about a popstar having a breakdown and joining a cult or whatever the fuck it’s about, who’s one of the first female artists you’d have in mind for the soundtrack? Lana Del Rey obvs. Also Sam Levinson the creator of Euphoria’s involved and already got Lana on the Euphoria soundtrack AND she submitted more than one song for Euphoria allegedly so perhaps one of them got used for The Idol hmmm… It makes a lot of sense to me IDK!

 

I got absolutely no other reason to believe this will happen tbh it’s been a slow week. Thoughts?

I’m moving this out of the rumour section as there is no concrete evidence to back this aside from hopeful speculation, and is more of a thoughts/opinion discussion x

Mike Dean's also working on this and I'm pretty sure he's somewhat involved with DYK, it just makes sense!

[ShadesOfFool 20,372]

I’m into it cause he won’t let her put any boring shit on the soundtrack, she’s gonna have to come with some hot music

And Mike Dean doesn’t have a single production credit on DYKTTATUOB so it would be kinda weird if nothing other than WW came out of their studio sessions
