I'd rather see him playing Hutchence than Elijah Wood playing Iggy...

i dunno was hutenchence's life really that interesting?  he was the singer in a moderately successful rock band, i wouldn't call them "superstars", he starred in one vanity project movie, he stole bob geldof's wife, and then became a washed up rockstar... maybe there was more tabliod stuff downunder, and while a good front man on stage  nothing like iggy, morrision, etc...

I guess we'll find out when we see the movie, I think Depp playing anyone can make them seem exciting or interesting even if they weren't.

Well he met his end naked hanging from a rope with cock in hand. That's pretty interesting.

Even more so had it been someone else's!

Perhaps he could play you.

If it made me millions, I'd be all for it.

His story is like a bibical story, and perhaps offers some universal insight.  Like Samson.  His hair and the band evolved hand in hand through the mid-80's culminating in the defining Kick in 87/88 and Hutchence's hair in those videos (Need You Tonight/Devil Inside/New Sensation/Never Tear Us Apart).  A truly fantastic achievement.  Coolest hair of the era.  Then, the hair was cut, and the band and everything fell apart. . .  They kept trying but the magic was lost.

This thread reminded me of a casting idea I thought of a few months ago.  If there was every a Morrissey biopic I'd cast Kiera Knightly in the lead role.
 If she had the hairstyle she'd look just like a young Moz.
