Elijah Wood to play Iggy Pop in biopic movie

[Perpetual Man]

Just heard this on the radio as I passed it this morning

 

[Nesacat]

Am trying and failing to imagine the transition from one to the other, though Elijah does have unnerving eyes.

 

[Pyan]

I'd go for Andy Serkis+CGI, personally....

 

[Tillane]

I'd go for Iggy himself with some retro-ageing CGI. (But not much - how many 60-year-olds have a six-pack like that? How many 20/30-year-olds, for that matter?)

 

[The Ace]

And the oscar for hopeless miscasting goes to .........

 

[UltraCulture]

To Quote Paul Calf.

"I'd Rather see Dave Lee Travis play Macbeth."

That's as daft as casting Bruce Willis as Murray Walker.

 

[BookStop]

Aw, now. We should give Elijah the benefit of the doubt. He's usually a realiable actor. Remember when Tom Cruise was cast as the vampire Lestat? Everyone said the same thing about the casting being monumentally wrong, but that is the one time I've seen ol' Tom do serious acting.

 

[AE35Unit]

Oh i reckon he could become a great actor but why the bloody hell does he want to play that muppet?

 

[TK-421]

Elijah does have some incredible talent and promise as an actor. He was very good in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as was the entire cast in such a brilliant movie.

I hope he is able to pull it off, myself.

 

[Fried Egg]

Anyone seen Elijah in "Sin City"? Now that was different...

 

[Marky Lazer]

I believe Wood is capable of doing this actually.

 

[Reiver]

Nope, just can't picture it myself! Elijah is a good actor and he was really creepy in Sin City but .... nope, can't see him as Iggy!

 

[Tansy]

I think he is up to the challenge acting wise but as above can't see how they are going to make it convincing
