I donīt know if itīs true or not. this is not news because I read on a web site dated from december 2008, but I have not heard anything of this and I like to ask if somebody knows anything about a movie that Warner Bros is planning to do about REM.

This is where I read, itīs in spanish

It is not true. it is clearly a parody post. When have you ever heard of a Johnny Depp quote talking about Mike Mills? It also has Spike Jonze directing! Let's face it, the REM story is not really movie material.

"Of course you liked early R.E.M. best," I want to say. "You were 17 years old and drunk on tequila and in love with a girl who didn't know you existed, and 'Harborcoat' summed up your melancholy mood like it was written just for you."

I beg to differ. Certainly not a biopic with Johnny Depp as Mike but as the basis for a movie, I'd say R.E.M.'s story would be pretty interesting. Not a Across The Universe treatment but more like a movie inspired by actual events. It's not gonna happen but it's interesting to think about.

It was a joke. In Spain the Dec 28th is our April Fool's Day, last year the joke was about a movie about REM   :rolleyes:

But every year we publish a joke...

in 2007 the blog closed to be reopened as a U2 blog
http://remnation.zoo...we-Know-It.html

in 2006 Bill Berry released a record with their illness story
http://remnation.zoo...-por-probl.html

in 2005 REM disbanded
http://remnation.zoo...Disolucion.html

in 2004 Stipe & Morrissey recorded together an album called 'Casanovas'
http://rem-nation.mf...pe-y-morrissey/

in 2003 Mike Mills left REM
http://rem-nation.mf...abandona-r-e-m/

in 2002 REM & U2 decided to join both bands and rename theirselves as "The Messengers"
http://elistas.egrup.../3461/msg/3473/

in 2001 Mike Mills & Madonna recorded a song called "I Like my Scothish Skirt"
http://elistas.egrup.../1761/msg/1768/


Any idea for this year? Maybe Michael appears in "You Got Talent"? :rolleyes:

You mean it's not true that David Hasselhoff was rumoured to be up for the role of Michael Stipe?
