The credible portrayals seem like the following: Rupert Grint (Cheetah Chrome), actors doing The Ramones, Tom Verlaine, Patti Smith, Alan Rickman (Hilly Krystal), and my friend Donal Logue. The ones I have trouble buying is actor from Breaking Bad (Stiv Bators) because he looks more like the guy saying "Warriors, come out & playyyy-eee-yay" & Taylor Hawkins (young Iggy).
Perhaps it's a fair impression of that NYC punk era but the proof will be in the performance, eh
it looked interesting, but after i went on imbd and checked the writer and director credits, i didn't have much hope for it. the guy directed the 6th man and has done a bunch of shit movies. the trailer did not really do anything to dissuade my original position. the co writer/ producer claims to have hung out there in the early 80s, but i don't know how much that matters. if the source material was from someone who had been there at the time, i would be more interested.
also, stabb-what did you think of the killing ending? i thought it was too seven-ish and not that good.
