Elijah Wood to play Iggy Pop

Ashley Pomeroy

David Bowie 

Well, how about David Bowie? With CGI and makeup and a big latex schickengruber he could pass for the younger Iggy Pop, and he certainly knows enough about the subject to express Pop's hidden depths. Bowie wouldn't need to act very hard - a stunt double would do the live performance work, and when off-stage all Bowie would have to do is mumble and look baffled and wasted. Instant Iggy.

With casting like this 

Can we hope for OJ Simpson playing David Bowie ?

They'll Have to do Double-Time with the Ugly Stick 

Iggy Pop has to be one of the butt-ugliest people ever to bare his pigeon chest on stage.

Woods is just too purty.
