I don´t know if it´s 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, it´s in spanish

Jeez, that does look freaking weird. :rolleyes:

[RamblingRob]

The actors arent bad..Depp as Mike?  I've seen weirder things.

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.

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.

Didn't Johnny Depp play in an REM tribute band in the 90's or something? Or am i imagining things?

He was in a band called P when they made a song called Michael Stipe.

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