They shot a movie at a co-op my boyfriend and friends were living at this summer. Iggy Pop features prominently in the trailer. Iggy Pop did not actually show up for any of the filming, although they shot a couple of scenes with him in Florida, since he didn't feel like traveling.

I think he just assumes you should have enough respect for him to not assume he's gonna help you with jack and just be grateful for being in his presence.

And having seen him live, he actually may have earned the right.

Damn that man can perform.

Velvet Goldmine has already been made. Gayer than Brokeback, but decent acting from Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Eddie Izzard, and Ewan McGregor. Worth a watch, but yeah...pretty gay. NTTAWWT.

Elijah Wood doesn't even look like the great Mr. Pop to begin with, so it probably wouldn't be that great of a movie.

/going to listen to The Idiot

I am currently almost finished with a biography about Jim, my publisher wants it done PRONTO in order to ensure that it will be on the racks in time for the movie's release.

/Jim wouldn't talk to me for more than 45 minutes on the phone last fall.
//I was supposed to spend a few days with Ron this past month, but that's not going to happen, obviously

Andy Dick should play Iggy. He could do it justice.

Apparently, he is impossible to kill too, and he's batshiat crazy.

Velvet Goldmine is in my music movie collection. I saw it once. Once was enough.

iggy is rock. punk rock till the day he somehow finds a way to kill himself.
fark wood, he's the worst casting idea in years.
See him live and you'll understand that he may well be a god.

He doesn't want a bio-pic but selling LUST FOR LIFE to Princess Cruise Line is a-okay!

I'm having a hard time picturing Frodo singing I wanna be your dog. Wait...I think something just broke inside my brain.

Wasn't he destroyed with Klaus Nomi and Phantom Limb, in the Showdown at Cremation Creek?
