Blondie Kirsten





Kirsten Dunst and Johnny Borrell, singer of "Razorlight", at the SXSW music festival in Austin, TX. (03/16/07).
"There were rumours a while back that Kirsten Dunst had been cast to play musician Debbie Harry in a biopic about her life. Now said rumour just got a little juicier, as Dunst recently revealed in an interview that her next project would be a movie with director Michel Gondry ("Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", Dave Chappelle’s "Block Party") about a certain “well-known singer”.
I don’t know much about the life of Debbie Harry, other than the fact that she was, of course, the frontwoman for the band Blondie and that she was reportedly bisexual. But I think everyone can agree that Kirsten Dunst would be absolutely perfect for this role, and with Gondry being the huge music fan he is, I can see this flick being right up his alley. I’m already picturing Marie-Antoinette, minus the period setting, and with a bunch of weird stop-motion dream sequences."

Now those pictures...That's how you research the role of a punk royalty!
I love that she's just hanging out and having fun with.

Yeah, and that guy Johnny would fit as a glove as a member of "The Ramones", a group which Blondie was friend and sometimes played with in the "CGCB club" times.
