CBGB was the club in New York’s Bowery district that saw the
birth of punk with bands like the Dead Boys, the Ramones, Blondie, and
Television. Bators died in 1990. Randall Miller is directing and writing the
indie punk film, which is starting to crank some cast volume.
Malin Akerman, who rocks out with Tom Cruise in the upcoming
Rock Of Ages, will play Blondie’s Debbie Harry. Alan Rickman will play the East
Side bar’s proprietor Hily Kristal. Twilight Saga’s Ashley Greene will play
Kristal’s daughter. The Big Bang Theory’s Johnny Galecki is playing band
manager Terry Ork. Foo Fighters’ drummer Taylor Hawkins will play the original
punk rocker Iggy Pop. And Harry Potter’s Rupert Grint will play Dead Boys
guitarist Cheetah Chrome.
The film begins
shooting next month in Savannah, Ga., before moving to NYC.
