"Love is a Burning Thing" but unfortunately the Walk the Line DVDs I have to give away are no longer hot off the presses. I'm a week late sending these things out. Sorry guys! The 3 winners (drawn randomly) of the Extended Cut Walk the Line contest held here at the Film Experience are...Sebastian in North Carolina who wants to see a Karen Carpenter bio starring Evan Rachel Wood. Hmmmm. Love ERW and we all know she can play a convincing anorexic (hello Once & Again, one of the greatest television dramas of all time) but what is there left to say that Todd Haynes didn't already say (with dolls) in Superstar?
Jerry in Colorado who is itching to see a Stevie Nicks bio starring [drumroll please] Sarah Michelle Gellar. Was it that musical episode of Buffy, Jerry?
you see Sarah's gypsy?Sir Jorge in Seattle wants to see a bio of Mike Ness from Social Distortion. But there isn't an actor or actress who could handle it, he thinks. So maybe you should help with the casting on that one.
There were a lot of great biopic suggestions with your contest entries. I particularly loved the idea of Kristen Chenowith as Dolly Parton, Ryan Gosling as Frank Sinatra (he'd do it his way all the way to the Oscar, I'd bet), Maggie Gyllenhaal doing Dusty Springfield (interesting), Parker Posey as PJ Harvey, Ani DiFranco to be played by Lori Petty (never thought I'd hear that name again ! but, yeah) and Nico featuring either Carice van Houten or Chlöe Sevigny. What say ye? Would you pay to see any of those movies?
We can also help out Sir Jorge in the comments. Who could successfully convey the sex, drugs and rock n roll of punk icon Mike Ness?
