Alan Rickman to Play Hilly Kristal in CBGB Film

Alan Rickman is set to play Hilly Kristal in the film about the New York club he founded, CBGB.

The movie, which will cover the club's history from 1974 to 1976, is being produced by Randall Miller, Jody Savin and Brad Rosenberger with Miller directing. Production is scheduled to start in June now that Miller and Savin's Dennis Wilson biopic, The Drummer, has been moved to a fall start. Lisa Kristal Bergman, the daughter of Kristal, will co-produce.

Savin said in a statement "We wrote this role for Alan Rickman who, like Hilly Kristal, is a true champion of the arts. Neither Hilly nor Alan approach art from a point of view of elitism. To me that is heroic."
CBGB was originally opened in 1973 as a live club for country, bluegrass and blues but fairly quickly evolved into one of the most important venues for the burgeoning punk and new wave genres. Among those that got their start at the club were Patti Smith, the Ramones, Blondie, Talking Heads and Television. The venue closed in 2006 after a prolonged battle with the local residents committee and the landlord. Kristal died a year later from lung cancer.

Sapevo lo avresti chiesto.
Hilly Cristal ha fondato il CBGB (Country Blue-Grass Blues and Other Music For Uplifting Gourmandizers".) che è un club di New York diventato famoso negli anni '70 vi hanno debuttato I Ramones che sono un gruppo Punk Rock.
Era un punto di riferimento molto importante per diversi artisti tra cui Patty Smith e i Blondie.

Questa descrizione è fantasticaXD

« For those who haven't visited the place, think your bathroom but just a bit larger, covered in graffiti and smelling almost always of dog piss. Due to the fact that club's owner Hilly Cristal would always let his dogs run free in the place, a fact that the late Joey Ramone found hilarious »
(Alan Parker, booklet del CD Ramones - Best of the Chrysalis Years[1])

« Per quelli che non hanno visitato il posto, pensate al bagno di casa vostra ma solo un po' più grande, coperto di graffiti e con puzza di piscio praticamente ovunque per il fatto che il proprietario Hilly Cristal lasciava i suoi cani liberi di scorrazzare nel locale, una cosa che il compianto Joey Ramone trovava spassosa »

Si, l'ho pensato anch'io, la mia mente è subito corsa a Bottle Shock ma con un ruolo così non può uscire un film del cacchio!
Però non ce lo vedo Alan che va a fare pipì insieme a Joe Ramone.
Mi chiedo da che periodo inizierà il film...

Si è vero.
Bisogna vedere da dove inizia l'interpretazione di Alan, Hilly aveva un quarantina d'anni quando ha aperto il locale, spero facciano fare tutto ad Alan e non solo l'ultima parte.

Ma noooooooo, la mer** di Dogma non c'entra nulla, questa è tutt'altra immagine, molto più Rock.
Stasera metto qualche foto del locale così capisci l'ambiente, si tratta di immergersi nell'atmosfera!

Eh lo so Ele, dobbiamo rassegnarci su questo punto: a lui piace fare i film indipendenti!
C'è da dire che è un ruolo diverso da quello di Bottle Shock, Hilly Cristal almeno la maggior parte della gente lo conosce.
Io avevo sperato gli si affezionasse Burton!

E' confermato che le riprese di CBGB inizieranno a Giugno.




'Harry Potter' actor filming rock movie in Savannah

Savannah will play hostess to a rock ’n’ roll movie this summer, just not the one that was planned.

Alan Rickman, best known as Professor Snape in the “Harry Potter” movie series, has been cast as Hilly Kristal, owner and founder of legendary New York club CBGB.

Filming is set to begin in June.

Some of the producers for the Rickman movie also are working on “The Drummer: The story of Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys,” which was set to film on Tybee Beach this summer. Filming for that movie has been delayed to accommodate cast schedules, according to a press release from the producers. It should now film in the fall.

That opened a shooting schedule for Rickman and the CBGB movie.

“This is a film about a time and a place and the people that came together to make music that was revolutionary and that spoke to its community,” said Randall Miller, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jody Savin.

Kristal tried opening a country, bluegrass and blues bar in New York, but when that struggled, he opened his doors to local acts. The only caveat: Bands could only play original music.

Groups such as Green Day, Soul Asylum, The Police, Bruce Springsteen and The Red Hot Chili Peppers played there.

The production team also has a number of people who were involved with the film “Savannah” which filmed here last year, Jay Self, director of film services, said in a Friday press release.

Anche Rupert Grint nel cast del Film su Hilli Crystal.

• From Harry Potter to punk rock? Rupert Grint is set to star in two upcoming films. In CBGB, he’ll play rocker Cheetah Chrome opposite Alan Rickman as legendary club owner Hilly Kristal. Will taking direction from a gritty club owner be much different than from Professor Snape? The second stop for the redhead is The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman, where he’ll star opposite Shia LaBeouf
