uncle wilco Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 man, what a bummer. this is the last thing nirvana needs. i hope its not primarily focusing on the relationship between kurt and courtney. like the cash movie was. what a drag. since they've already set the bar for casting, how about ben stiller as dave grohl and john c. reilly as the goofy bass player. we could get drew barrymore as courtney...it'd be awesome...maybe get owen wilson to do a cameo...yeah....

squarewave Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Jason Schwartzman could play Grohl, but he would have to pluck about 2/3 of that eyebrow, grow a goatee, and buy stock in Bubblicious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 this is about as insane as cate blanchett playing bob dylan in that new movie.I think I'm Not There has terrific potential, especially since its director, Todd Haynes, is a genuine artist with a proven track record. To these eyes, Safe and Far from Heaven are two of the richest American movies of the last 15 years. The concept of employing various actors in a single role may not be conventional, but it's also not particularly new or strange. Considering how Todd Solondz recently used the technique for Palindromes and how Luis Bunuel used it for That Obscure Object of Desire way back in 1977, Haynes' decision to use different actors to metaphorically embody the various stages of Dylan's career and persona doesn't seem daring at all.

Sarcasm, right? Following what only a couple of movies have done in in the past 30 years seems a little daring to me... Can't Dave Grohl just play himself? He's very funny. Courtney and Dave obviously don't get along though. Especially wouldn't when it comes time to shoot the final scene of the movie. Dave will say, "Courtney, you stand over here with the shotgun.... " The crew gasps. Courtney falls off the wagon again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But they aren't the only examples... just two years ago the Broadway production Lennon cast 9 actors in the title role. Granted, most other multiple casting examples offer some kind of literal justification for it within the story Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aver Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Cool! And then Brad Pitt as Jeff Buckley! I know I sure loved Matt Dillon as Charles Bukowski. ...what happened to actually doing something interesting instead of dressing up like someone else who did? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
