Elijah Wood is cast to play Iggy in a movie about his life called 'The Passenger'. There is nothing about this movie on IMDB YET, so hopefully Elijah Wood is recast. He can't play Iggy in a movie. Evil or Very Mad Horrible casting. He can't act.

So, what are your thoughs on this wanker playing Iggy?!?!

I don't even know him, haha. Johnny Depp should do it, he's a fan and eccentric.

What is this movie? Got any links?

Johnny Depp can't do it. Dare I say it, he's too old. Surprised

Here are a few links...

One

Two

Three

There's heaps more. Just type in 'Elijah Wood Iggy Pop' in google.

Last I heard this wasn't happening..?

But I haven't really been paying much attention.

I've got nothing against Elijah Wood, he was creepy as fuck in "Sin City" and he seems nice enough (good taste in music and seems really passionate about it.. he has his own record label and I know he was in attendance at the closing night of CBGBs) but I doubt I'd go and see this movie if it does go ahead.

Nothing against him or anyone, but why would I want to see someone playing at being Iggy when I can actually go see IGGY? yknow?

Yeah, I didn't like how they did concentrate 290 Iggy's clichés in 30 seconds, it's never that way with Iggy.

I was annoyed when I first heard about it, but he's not a bad actor. He's short like Iggy, and he doesn't look that different from Iggy's nerdy high school pictures. He's going to have to stop eating altogether though.

Actually, Wood does in some respects have the look of the young Iggy, and there's a certain charisma about him that could make this work. It would be a big challenge for the guy.

But... I was publicising my book on a radio station last week, and they'd had Elijah on the week before. THey'd asked him about the movie and he said it's on hold. SOunds as if it's not going to happen. It's possible that Iggy withdrew permission, not certain.

The movie was being made by a company called This IS THat, a very good independent (and there aren't many of those these days) who were responsible for 21 Grams and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Pauly: I hope that hold has some other meaning than that the movie isn't getting made.
And you are more that right about the charisma, just take a look at Woods usage of uncertanity while playing Frodo and stone cold psycopath shit while being the cannibal in Sin city.
I'd say he's the choice of actor for such character as the one Jim created.

It's making the rounds: funding has been arranged, and the film's officially greenlit:

http://www.variety.com/index.asp?layout=Cannes2007&jump=story&id=1061&articleid=VR1117965043&cs=1

Welp, I don't have too much of a beef with the casting - I just hope the quality of the overall film is up to snuff. We don't get too many compelling biopics, and there's just so much material to cover. Hope they don't go the cheap n' easy crowd-pleaser route.

I heard about that. I really fucking hate Elijah Wood. I hope he dies before filming can begin.

Looks like this movie is a go. Yeah, Elijah Wood is lame. I wonder who they're gonna cast for Ron Asheton. As well as David Bowie. If Ron is even featured in this movie!

I don't want 15 year old idiots who think that he's 'hot' watching this film. Half the audience will probably say 'Whos Iggy Pop?!?!" An unknown should play Iggy AND the rest of the cast.

I agree, but in order to sell tickets they feel they need a big name actor.

I wouldn't call Elijah Wood a big name actor.

Iggy backs Elijah
(Wednesday June 27, 2007 06:21 PM)


Iggy Pop has backed Elijah Wood's credentials to play him in an upcoming biopic on the rock legend.

Rumours about a movie following the life and times of The Stooges' icon have been rife for some months, with the "Lord Of The Rings" star tipped to play the lead role.

However, Iggy has revealed there are no concrete plans for the film, days after The Stooges played an acclaimed Saturday evening slot at the Glastonbury Festival.

"We have no agreement yet to even do the film. The producers have got big mouths and keep jumping the gun", Pop told XFM.

However, he continued: "I think Elijah (Wood)'s a very good actor though. If he can play a hobbit then he should be able to play me."

My main worry about Wood playing Iggy is that he's a bit of a teen idol...which is probably one of the reasons he was chosen for the part...which would suggest the film will be a rather sanitised version of Iggy's story, rated to pull in teenagers.
