Julian Cope's life to be filmedAll ready mentioned elsewhere but - "...the curious story of Julian Cope, former Smash Hits cover star, practising druid and great British eccentric, is set to be turned into a feature film. David Morrissey, the award-winning actor, has secured the film rights to Head On, Cope's autobiography. "A student of pagan ritual, Cope's most surprising career shift has been his emergence as an acclaimed expert on Britain's prehistoric stone circles; his book, The Modern Antiquarian, sold 40,000 copies, was adapted as a BBC documentary and prompted an invitation to lecture at the British Museum." More here - http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/from-smash-hits-to-stone-circles-julian-copes-life-to-be-filmed-2103180.html (Can we hope for a private viewing party ;-) |

Haha! I dunno whether to laugh or cry! This could be either amazingly good, or embarrassingly bad... His autobiographies are a must-read. Superb. really honest and open. But as a film? Not sure... I hope it's done well, cos I'll watch it regardless :D G x |

G ..... The same thoughts I had when I heard he was writing a prehistoric guide. My God, this is gonna be shite! And look what the outcome was of that! Bring it on... I'll be laughing with him, not at him. The world needs more people like Cope. |

"The world needs more people like Cope." In a word - yes! :-) |

'Julian, I don't hear a single', says the A&R man. Hell no!! And long may it remain so. Imagine the Drude turning up on X Factor? |

| I would be feeling uneasy if I were him, I can't think of another 'rock star' who has had a film made about him/her while still alive (though I'm sure a few have been made). Sounds like a wind-up ... why would they need an actor when the real thing is alive, well and could star in a documentary about his own life. |

| Mac must be spitting! Burns and Wylie should get cameo appearances, surely. |

| Mac's popped up on the new Manics album by the way. I say reform the Crucial Three!! |

| He certainly needs some help, the last Bunnymen album was the worst thing they've ever done (and his last solo album was pretty awful too). |
