Pink Floyd: The Movie???
 
Pink Floyd: The Movie - Director: Cameron Crowe

Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous), is set to direct the new upcoming Pink
Floyd movie. The film follows the life and times of Roger "Syd"
Barrett (guitarist/vocals), Roger Waters (bassist/vocals), David
Gilmour (guitarist/vocals), Nick Mason (drummer) and Richard Wright
(keyboardist).

"I have been a fan of theirs for years. Once I heard about Syd's
untimely passing, I knew I had to finally do this movie. Pink Floyd
practically invented psychedelic rock, it's time they get the credit
they deserve," Crowe said.

Ashton Kutcher has been cast portray Roger Waters, the bassist for
Pink Floyd. Roger Waters, best known for The Wall, split from the
band in the early 80s. He reunited years later for the Live 8
concert series hosted by actor/musician/activist, Bob Geldof.

"Back on the set of That 70s Show, we'd always relax to some Floyd.
It's just cool to be part of that," Kutcher said.

Johnny Depp will portray wayward genius Roger "Syd" Barrett. Barrett
was only with the band for three years, yet inspired not only Pink
Floyd but many other musicians, including ex-Blur guitarist Graham
Coxon.

"I always choose roles with depth, Syd had depth. He truly was an
enigma." Depp told, French Newspaper, Le Monde.

Hmmm this sounds like bullshit to me (Aston Kutcher as Mr Waters lol). Is it a hoax? What do you guys think?

I think it's a little early to make a movie.

dazedcola 09.16.2006 07:29 PM

i dont know johnny depp doesnt really look much like syd.

Washing Machine 09.16.2006 07:39 PM

Hmm is there a single part Depp couldn't play! I'd be more worried about Aston as Roger Waters!

I think doing the entire Pink Floyd story would be directionless, they would be better off just covering the Syd era although as Tokolosh said its a little to early. Still I'm pretty sure its a hoax.

ashton kutcher? there is no fucking way...

I saw Ashton Kutcher on Letterman recently where he wondered aloud what was there was to do in Chicago. Seriously, what a dope. Uh...some of the world's finest museums...the Adler planetarium, the country's first! doh!
Oh yeah, and everything else from nationally touring acts to sports and from distinctive local eateries to fine dining like the other major cities.

I'm still enthused by the movie news though.
