yeah, he's horrible at fitting himself into a role and playing characters that are very different than himself

As much as I love Gary Oldham, I fully agree on the too old part at this stage. He's good enough to get past the Britishness. Didn't know Iggy was Jewish; not that I care one way or the other.

Actually, it really depends on what side of life they choose to feature within the film. I would assume that they will spend a lot of time exploring Iggy's earlier days and how he became a Rock star. Therein, you need a younger actor.

Wonder if they'll have to hire a stunt man for some of Iggy's stage antics?

I just don't see it at all using Elijah. I have no ill feelings towards the guy at all but he is just so wrong for the part. Then again, they could have gone with Frankie Munuz. :roll: All is not right in Hollywood.

Post by: kosmo vinyl on October 27, 2005, 08:59:00 pm: The thing is I totally think Mike Myers will be the perfect Keith Moon...

Still can't believe that anyone could think Elijah Wood would work in that part. Even Leonard DiCapro or Jake Darko would be suited for that part...

Post by: Herr Professor Doktor Doom on October 29, 2005, 12:02:00 pm: Is Elijah Wood really going to play Iggy? I thought you guys were just fucking around as usual. That's just wrong!

As for Iggy Pop, he's been rediscovered by baby boomers anxious to prove they were actually cool in their youth, much the way most of the people at 80s dance nights were listening to Huey Lewis rather than anything remotely interesting back in the day.

Ok, enough negativity from me!
