Wood's Pop

From iwatchstuff, Elijah Wood is now confirmed to be taking on the role of punk rocker Iggy Pop in an upcoming biopic, reports Variety. Pop fans will surely be nearly as excited to hear about this little twerp playing their idol as they were when they heard "Lust for Life" in that commercial for Club Med.

I'm sorry, Elijah, but you just don't have enough of that gangling, muscular, strung-out look needed to frighten me the way Iggy does. But on the plus side, this is probably the only time not looking like Iggy Pop will ever be considered a negative.

That's the worst casting choice I've ever heard of in my life and it makes me sick to my stomach.

Although Ewan McGregor did a surprisingly job as Iggy in Velvet Goldmine.

I've seen a helluva lotta rock dinosaurs in my day and I must say that Iggy is the only one I've seen who rocked the absolute shit out of me (KISS aside, obviously). The Yeah Yeah Yeahs opened and he made them look like Toto.

Do the Yeah Yeah Yeahs rock it out? I only know that song Maps, which is pretty mellow.

I like Elijah Wood, but darn that is a weird choice. Weirder than Brandon Routh and Heath Ledger in their respective controversies.
