| |  Dunst in a Gondry directed Blondie biopic?
http://bigscreenlittlescreen.net/200...londie-biopic/
Through deductive reasoning, our friends over at Film Ick have come up with what looks likely to be another new picture for director Michel Gondry. Kirsten Dunst was rumored to have been considering the role of Debbie Harry in a Blondie biopic since October. Now, in an interview featured in New Zealand website Stuff, Dunst mentioned that her next project was to be with Gondry, playing “a well-known singer….somebody who everybody knows, but I can’t say who it is.”
Dunst is no stranger to Gondry’s work, having appeared in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and was attached to join the cast of Be Kind Rewind, but changed her mind before shooting started in September.
If all pans out as it appears it should, a rock and roll biopic would provide the former music video director an opportunity to break out from his stretch of memory and brain-bending pictures - Sunshine, The Science of Sleep, and (next up) Be Kind Rewind - featuring Mos Def and Jack Black - re-shooting and re-creating accidentally erased videotapes of hits like Ghostbusters, Robocop, and Driving Miss Daisy for a senile video store customer. Also on his future project list: Master of Space and Time, an adaptation of the Rudy Rucker science fiction novel, with a script from Daniel Clowes (Ghost World, Art School Confidential).

i hate the idea od dunst playing debbie (mostly cos of kirsten's fugness and general lack of coolness) but i wouldn't feel too horrible if it was directed by gondry  |

I love Michel Gondry, but could think of other actresses to play Debbie Harry.

| | | Kirsten Dunst just sucks. She looks NOTHING like Marie Antoinette and she did that and she looks NOTHING like Debbie and now she's going to do that, that sucks. |

| | | Dunst is cute, but she is definitely not a good choice to play Debbie Harry. |

| | good choice 
dunst is also way too young to play debbie.
ms. harry was in her mid to late 30s when blondie got big. |

As simple as it might have seemed, I totally understand why she wanted to distance herself and 'become' Deborah. Pre-Blondie she had already struggled with drug addiction, released an album with another band, posed for playboy and so much more.
Btw, love your avatar  |

But why Kirsten Dunst? I don't get it. Maybe she will do well. |

. | i don't know about biopics made when the subject is still alive... it seems odd. better to wait until they die and get the whole story done |

We read books about the lives of people who are still alive all the time--there is totally a way to tastefully end a film or a book even if the subject is not over yet.

I think as long as Debbie is cool with it then so be it. It must be really weird, and yet such an honour to have a movie devoted to you...but I guess Ms Harry is used to it. |

| | | I love Kirsten Dunst but I can't see her being a perfect Blondie.
Maybe it's not even a Blondie biopic though..and even if it is, maybe she'll surprise us all. |

| | | i keep on reading about this movie, but i doubt it'll ever see the light - not in the near future, anyway.
gondry has 2 movies in production right now, so it'll take a long time before he ccan work on this.
plus. dunst sucks, she would so RUIN the movie.
i mean, debbie is a goddess, she obviously isnt |
