Elijah Wood is the new Iggy Pop in an upcoming movie about Iggy’s life as a rocker for the band the Stooges. The movie will be directed by Nick Gomez and the script has been written by Eric Schmid. The name of the movie? The Passenger
The script ain’t chopped liver… It was a work of art. But subjectively, I don’t want to be involved in any way. A producer and the writer sent me a very decent letter, and asked me to write back if I didn’t want them to do it… I don’t feel negative about it at all.
Kinda sounds stupid to me. Elijah Wood is the scraggly little Hobbit from the Lord of the Rings, not some crazed out rocker. Even though Iggy Pop has praised Elijah Wood for his acting, I still feel that he is just not the right guy for the role. For the movie Elijah Wood had to lose some weight and also learn how to play the drums.
