I'll Wait to Rent It

Elijah Wood has signed on to star as Iggy Pop in "The Passenger," a film biopic covering the early years of Pop's life with his band The Stooges in the last 60's and early 70's.

Shooting will begin in the next six months and the movie is slated for release sometime in 2008.

While Pop,60, is cool with the project, he doesn't have any plans to star in the film.

"The script ain't chopped liver. It was a work of art. But subjectively, I don't want to be involved in any way. A producer and the writer sent me a very decent letter, and asked me to write back if I didn't want them to do it. I don't feel negative about it at all."

I would be surprised if he didn't make a cameo or a "guy in the crowd" type of appearance.
