the iddle hobbit to play that chest slashing beast?!?!?
You must be fucking joking but here it is........


Elijah Wood to play Iggy Pop
Former Hobbit will portray the Stooge

'Lord Of The Rings' star Elijah Wood is set to play Iggy Pop in a movie about his life.

The biopic, entitled 'The Passenger', concentrates on Pop's early career with The Stooges, and is set to begin filming within six months.

According to Variety, Pop has "given his blessing" to the project but will not take part in it".

Pop recently reunited with The Stooges and the band are currently touring in support of their first album in over 30 years,
'The Weirdness'.

The band will continue their outing with performances at festivals worldwide over the summer, including sets at Glastonbury in June and Lollapalooza in Chicago in August.

That sounds... worrying.

I dont see it????

If he is shirtless in silver pants I will feel like an old perve. I do not see the casting choice either, but admittedly want to see him in the above mentioned ensemble. And if he is making out with a Bowie look alike - all the better.

Iggy Pop is old enough to be my dad but he's still way fucking hotter than hobbit boy, that boy's gonna have to do some serious gym time to reach those greek god physique standards.

I know. But now the thought of him losing weight and toning and having jutting hip bones has me all old lady creepy. The eyes and the cardigans..... I can't help it. I must now rent the good son and self flagellate in penance. It's all too Aqualung for my liking.

Haha that'll be an odd one to watch if they pull it off. I can never imagine him as anything else other than a hobbit.

Wasn't Johnny Depp going to play Freddie Mercury at one point? I'm still getting over that.

Hahahaha erm..no

I have to say, if I had to choose one of the four main hobbits to play Iggy, it would probably be Elijah Wood. But that really is damning with faint praise.

Thats pathetic. How could they possibly expect this to work. I hate Elijah Wood. He'll never be anything more then that gay hobbit

hah I don't know... he's too cute

and too hobbitish

but don't knock it before you see it, right?


pfff

so much for optimism

its probs gonna be lame. bio pics are almost always lame

Stunt casting.

Elijah Woods an alright actor, I like him in Everything Is Illuminated and Eternal Sunshine... But seriously he is nothing like Iggy Pop! Hes too clean cut looking, Iggy Pop is all drug addled and kool lol.

i heard about this he can pull hobbit off but not my iggy.

that is faint praise indeed.

did anyone see elijah in that football hooligan film - was he good in that?

uhm.. isn't iggy pop like 6'4, and elijah is like 5'5?
they also look nothing alike, and elijah is a quiet nerd, and iggy is a fucking rock star.

shithouse casting!
i wont watch. plus, biopics are always shitty. walk the line was the only good one in recent memory.

In all fairness, James Osterberg was a straight-A student who was voted Most Likely to Succeed.

Most likely to

There's even a picture. Check it out.

he has not one ounce of the charisma or sex appeal of iggy


Iggy = dark sexy bi psycho drunk

Elijah = limp wristed bookish nerdy geek who needs his ass kicked hard

yeah, but now i heard that borat is going to play him!
