WHO SHOULD PLAY JERRY?


Jerry Garcia

Variety is
reporting that a Jerry Garcia film is in the works. Amir Bar-Lev, director of the documentaries The
Tillman
Story
and My Kid Could Paint That, has signed on to direct a biopic focusing on Garcia’s pre-Dead years.
The film will reportedly be based on Dark Star, an oral history of Garcia’s life written by
Robert Greenfield. According to director Bar-Lev, the “daring script does justice to Garcia and steadfastly resists
cliche.” There is no word on who will be portraying the Grateful Dead frontman.

PLASTIC BEACH OUT NOW

Fresh off their triumphant headlining slot at Glastonbury,
which featured half of The Clash (Mick Jones and

short film which includes both Plastic Beach videos “Stylo” and “Melancholy Hill.” Narrated by fictional
Gorillaz leader
Murdoc, the film is a nifty way to kill 15 minutes and forty four seconds. Check it out below, and click here for the Gorillaz Hulu channel featuring videos, live
