Casting the Stones Movie

The buzz here in LA is that someone is going to make a movie of a book called Exile on Main Street:  A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones by Robert Greenfield.

Fine.  But who should play Mick and Keef?  Some suggestions that have been bandied about:

Mick:  His son, James.  That idea has Mick’s personal endorsement.  Then again, I’ve heard Jimmy Fallon (?) and Alfie Allen from Game of Thrones.

Keith:  Johnny Depp, hands down. Although for playing his later years, the name Tom Waits has been mentioned.

The rest of ’em?  No clue.

  • Rupert Grint (the ginger from the Harry Potter movies) looks a lot like Brian Jones.
