It's fair to say, I was unrealistically hoping it would be Cheggers. Ah well. According to a report in Variety, it's Lord Of The Rings star Elijah Wood who will play Iggy Pop in film about the rock star's life. I never knew Pop was such a shortarse. Actually, he's not as short as Elijah Wood, who, I am pretty confident, is 5'6. But Pop is 5'7 and 1/2 , which is shorter than me.
Anyway, the previously reported biopic, 'The Passenger', focuses on Pop's early career with The Stooges. James Newell Osterberg Jr (for that is his real name, don't you know) has "given his blessing" to the film project but won't be involved in the making of it.
