Iggy approves of biopic, but doesn't want to be involved

Iggy Pop says he has read the script for the biopic about his life and approves of it, but has declined to get involved; Elijah Wood is set to play him.

Iggy Pop has told reporters that he has seen the script for the biopic being made about his life, but that he has declined an offer by the movie's producers to get involved in the project.

Iggy: "The script ain't chopped liver...It was a work of art. But subjectively, I don't want to be involved in any way. A producer and the writer sent me a very decent letter, and asked me to write back if I didn't want them to do it...I don't feel negative about it at all."

He added that he was "curious" that Elijah Wood is set to play him in the movie, but added: "I don't really know about him...I saw him on TV the other day, and he seems like a very poised and talented actor."
