Casting Couch: Joey Ramone

9:03 AM EDT on October 11, 2006

In a case of life imitating Entourage, FilmForce reports:

The story of the classic punk rock band The Ramones, often referred to as the "Godfathers of Punk," may be coming to the big screen courtesy of producer Rory Rosegarten -- that's according to today's edition of industry insider mag Variety.

The film is based on the biography I Slept With Joey Ramone, written by Joey's brother Mickey Leigh. And thankfully, the producer has secured the rights to use the Ramones' music in the film. (Could you imagine a legal-rip of "I Wanna Be Sedated?" Shudder.)

So who do you want to see play Joey? We hear Justin Hawkins is available.
