Dream Cast For The Ramones Film: Johnny Depp, Kevin Bacon & More

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 18:38:45

starpulse.com - Joey Ramone's brother Mickey Leigh wants Johnny Depp to play Dee Dee Ramone in the film adaptation of his new book "I Slept With Johnny Ramone."

Leigh is convinced an unknown should play his late brother in the biopic, which is currently in the hands of producer Rory Rosegarten, but he has a few suggestions for the supporting cast.

He quips, "Maybe Howard Stern could play Joey. It's not up to me so I haven't really thought about it but, just for kicks... they're talking about an unknown... Maybe Adrien Brody - he's a tall skinny guy. I think Kevin Bacon would be great to play Johnny Ramone; he's a musician... and maybe Johnny Depp to play Dee Dee if he'd take on a small role."

A new NewYorkDailyNews.com feature is stacking up the list of roles that celebs later may have had regrets about turning down!

Jodie Foster was once considered for the part of Princess Leia in 'Star Wars,' according to the New York Daily News. Will Smith turned down the role of Neo in 'The Matrix,' having reportedly said, "In the pitch, I just didn’t see it." Molly Ringwald turned down the lead role of prostitute Vivian in 'Pretty Woman,' an iconic role that launched Julia Roberts' popularity. Alec Baldwin turned down the Richard Kimball part in 'The Fugitive,' which went to Harrison Ford. Leonardo DiCaprio turned down the role of Dirk Diggler in 'Boogie Nights,' which later went to Mark Wahlberg. Angelina Jolie passed on one of the roles for the 'Charlie's Angels' film, reportedly saying, "With 'Charlie's Angels,' I made my decision because: 1. I didn't watch the original TV series and 2. I don't get dressed up. Also, I'm probably not the best group person, so it didn't really suit my personality." Click here for the complete list of celeb roles initially intended for other stars!
