Wow, that wil be really cool!

Mick Jagger is currently fuming with jealousy. He -wishes- he was as cool as Keith...

 

Minimal makeup will be needed

 

Heh. Minimal costuming as well, especially the hair.

 

He's spent 40 years preparing for the role.....

 

Not since Jack Nicholson essaying the Joker in Tim Burton's original Batman movie has there been such a perfect piece of casting.

Hope Depp makes a return appearance as well!

 

Oh yea, Can't ya just see a patch?

 

And a giant bottle of rum!

Touche'

 

One has to laugh at the wisdom of disney. Apparently, they were freaking out when they saw depp's performance and this caused a lot of friction between the director and the studio. Now they are casting the reason for their consternation.
