Casting a Sonic Youth Film

It's bound to happen eventually so if anyone does decide to make a film about Sonic Youth, who would you cast in the lead roles? Oh, and assuming it'd be a 'life story' they'd also need to find actors to play Richard Edson (although he could play himself i suppose) Bob Bert and Jim O'Rourke.

I think there was a thread like this before, but obviously I'm too lazy to look for it.
Anyway, Jack Black could play the chubby Jim O'Rourke (pre-Nurse)

I think you might be right, and worse than that, I think I might've started it. My memory's not what it was I'm afraid.

Sarramkrop should play Andy Warhol.
I could play Bob Bert.
Demonrail could play Jon Spencer
Phoenix could take on the Lydia Lunch role.

Steve Shelley would be played by Harry Potter (what's his name?). Take a look at the pic inside of MADE IN USA for proof y'all.

Adrien Brody as Kim Gordon!

sarramkrop

12.01.2008 05:32 PM

there are strong chances that it would be shite, so i'll carry on feeding my imagination for the time being.

That's so depressingly spot on. Especially since Ron Howard is now way too old.

Mike Meyers as Steve Shelley.

They have to play themselves with no de-wrinkling allowed.

I'm suprised more people haven't lashed out for this being a repeated thread. I've seen a couple of these, and think I made one myself, as well, but why does that matter? New people join this forumn all the time.

Anyway, David Bowie as Kim Gordon.

yeah...in other words...i just really hope there isnt a movie made about that band because it would SUCK. sonic youth is my favorite band, and a movie about them would be...eh...really dissapointing.

im an idiot. i have a slight headache and a pretty bad chest cold. maybe i should make a movie about it.

so un-interesting that most of us have re-read the same story three times (Confusion Is Next, Psychic Confusion, Goodbye 20th Century) right?

Movies about bands are pointless , ie Joy Division and The Doors.

Tom Waits.
Not cast as anyone, he just ought to be in it.

Allison Janney could do a good contemporary Kim Gordon.

Her eyes are pretty bang on. Everything else is a little off.

I saw a stripper once, who looked just like Kim.

wasn't playing any sort of card. Just stating my own opinion the story has been interesting enough that I've re-read it numerous times.
