Although the ink isn’t dry on the Iggy Pop biopic with Elijah Wood in the lead and the film could ostensibly not happen, that doesn’t mean Pop is totally soured on the movies (or an easy paycheck).
Pop will lend his voice to the French animated political drama, “Persepolis.” Fellow pinko Sean Penn will voice the father of a young girl struggling with life in Iran during and after the fall of the Shah in 1979.
According to Reuters, “Gena Rowlands has already been cast to voice the role of the girl’s grandmother in the new version, and Catherine Deneuve will reprise the role of the girl’s mother in the English-language version.” I guess that means that their will be two versions of the film. Super exciting, right?
