Sympathetic Weather

Excruciating minutiae.

What I need, indeed

This is from some shady newspaper in Singapore, but the mere thought of it is so exciting that I can't not blog about it:
Producers of a Michael Hutchence big-screen biopic are trying to convince sexy Hollywood star Johnny Depp to play the late INXS frontman, according to MovieHole.net.

The film, tentatively titled Slide Away, is being fast-tracked. Most of the production will take place in Hutchence's native Sydney, Australia.

It will be helmed by long-time INXS music video director Michael Egan and Hutchence's brother Rhett, with Sienna Miller, Naomi Watts and Rachel Griffiths rumoured to be in the cast.

Among the other actors Egan is considering for the role of Hutchence are Hayden Christensen, Eric Bana and a little-known singer-actor from Australia called Michael Piccirilli.

I mean, who doesn't trust MovieHole.net? OK, I don't. So I did a little more research and found a reference to the film on news.com.au, which is a legitimate source.

I'm sorry to be so shallow, but if favorite Sith lord Hayden Christensen appears on screen as favorite rock sex god Michael Hutchence, my head will officially explode.
