It’s kind of hard to believe that Hank Williams died at 29 of alcohol abuse and any of a number of other bad habits, but when you take an enduring catalogue of songs and couple that with volumes of personal tragedy, what do you have?
In Hollywood, you have a MOVIE.
That’s right–the Hank Williams movie, based on the Hank Williams biography and featuring several of Hank Williams’ biggest songs authorized by the Hank Williams estate itself, will be coming to theatres on the order of eventually.
They’re just now starting to look to casting, and considering how little Joaquin Phoenix actually looked like Johnny Cash, it’s not really too out of line to suggest that just about anyone could take the lead role of Hank Williams. I’ve heard everybody from Billy Crudup to Johnny Depp suggested for the part and I’ve got to say there are a LOT of possibilities here.
