Could it be that the ring is still exercising its powers on young master Frodo? Variety is reporting that Elijah Wood, star of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, will be taking the lead role in the upcoming The Passenger, a biopic about the heroin-addicted father of punk rock, Iggy Pop.
The movie, which will be directed by Nick Gomez (Drowning Mona), will focus on Iggy Pop's early years, during his rise to fame with The Stooges.
According to wikipedia, "The Stooges became infamous for their live performances, during which it was not uncommon for Iggy Pop to leap off the stage (thus inventing the "stage dive"), flash his genitals, smear raw meat (and on one occasion peanut butter) over his chest and/or cut himself with broken bottles."
Fantastic!
