STONES MANAGER CONSIDERS SOUND-ALIKES FOR BIOPIC
Music mogul ANDREW LOOG OLDHAM fears he’ll have to use ROLLING STONES sound-alikes to record the music for his biopic - because SIR MICK JAGGER, KEITH RICHARDS and ALLEN KLEIN will refuse to give up the rights.
The former Stones manager isn’t sure how songwriters Jagger and Richards and his successor Klein will feel about their portrayal in the adaptation of his memoirs Stoned and 2Stoned.
And the trio could block the rights to songs he’s desperate to have in the film.
He says, "You have no idea what side of bed anybody’s gonna get out of, but I can always go the other way and do sound-alikes." Oldham, who also hopes to direct the film, has an actor in mind to portray him as a young svengali.
He says, "If the film gets made in the foreseeable future, I’d like Devon Graye to play me. Look him up.
"He’s in (U.S. TV drama) Dexter and spent his high school years in the U.K." But Oldham insists all other casting rumours are ridiculous because he has only just completed the screenplay.
