Ramones biopic film in the works, possibly starring Johnny Depp
Talks are being held over a potential biopic movie based on U.S punk group The Ramones.
Rolling Stone report that the widow of Johnny Ramone, Linda Ramone has been in charge of handling the project.
“I have offers right now to do a Ramones movie, because there hasn’t been one yet,” she told the publication. “It would be nice to do a Ramones movie. I will do one no matter what,” she continued. “I’m working on it right now. We’re in discussions, which is always a fun time.”
On who might star in such a release, she added: ”Of course everybody would want Johnny Depp to play him, because he’s cool and looks good. He’s super nice to me and he used to always talk to Johnny if we’d go to the Viper Room. His band opened up for the Ramones years and years ago.”
But it’s been made clear that the film won’t be made unless the offer is right. “Johnny’s legacy and the Ramones are the two most important things to me. Johnny left me his legacy and half of the Ramones legacy, and that’s an amazing thing to me.”
