http://news.softpedia.com/news/Elijah-Wood-to-Play-Iggy-Pop-7418.shtmlElijah Wood is tired of being called ???Frodo??? everywhere he goes and tried to pick up parts that could change his LOTR image.The 24-year-old actor, who can be seen in ???Sin City???, has landed the role of a young Iggy Pop in a new movie but he's terrified about portraying the outrageous punk icon.Elijah Wood, who has also signed up to voice Mumble in the new animated movie ???Happy Feet???, will start shooting the top-secret film in 2006. The actor admits he's getting more nervous as the start date approaches."I'm scared to death of doing it, because I love him (Iggy Pop) so much and I respect the music so much.

Elijah Wood as Iggy Pop= , not by a long shot.

edith head

the upsetting thing is that i will have to see it.

mandrew

another one, even more personally upsetting, but less RR:



this was the best novel to come out in the past 6 years, and elijah irks me. i heard the movie out now with him, green street hooligans, is acutally pretty good. but i can't understand how he keeps getting great roles. i think he must freely give it up to hollywood's gay mafia

Why?

YES!



Actually, a few years ago I ran into him in real life once on third street promenade. He was waiting to see a movie or came out of a movie with his rag-tag crew of hommies.

I hate Elijah Wood... this just in dude, you're not British or sophisticated. Stop pretending you are.

Who should play this role? Hmmm... definitely Sean Astin.

edith head

Who should play this role?

don't laff at me but i think kevin bacon







-not afraid of full frontal

-competant actor

-scary lean body

-has somewhat of a music background

the upsetting thing is that i will have to see it.

Why?

because i obsessively heart jim osterberg so

davesrecords

hasn't anthony kedis done acting ?

i think kevin bacon is a strong pick.

DJFerrari

hasn't anthony kedis done acting ?

Good call... there's a scary resemblance right there.

This could work if he goes on the Christian Bale Machinist diet.

Guzzo

Kevin Baco is in his mid 40's



Anthony Keidis is in his mid 40's



waaaay too old to play a young iggy pop



take that shit to Gyllanhaal





or stick some long hair on my hollywood doppelganger and let him sing about being your dog

Jonny_Paycheck

Young Iggy Pop looked beyond the fucking grave though

But if they gave it to Jake Gyllanhal a number of women I know would swoon and watch it three, maybe four times in a row

dude looks like a 14 year old in a suit.

how about iggy pop playing iggy pop ? he acted in coffee and cigarettes.

bassie

you can give this guy a drug problem, a sexy past, tattoos, long hair and even give him a friend like flea - but he still reeks of jock to me.

what do i know? this is my crush of the moment:

eggzactly. kevin bacon already got that lean athletic junkie body. iggy pop seems to have been born with it. plus, dude is great at playing greasy
