The White Stripes are teaming up with Steve Coogan, Iggy Pop, Tom Waits, Steve Buscemi and Alfred Molina...*see me drool*...in an all-star film project for veteran New York indie director Jim Jarmusch.
Jack and Meg will play themselves in a feature-length collection of self-contained scenes entitled Coffee and Cigarettes.
"It's very naturalistic, semi-improvised dialogue" Steve Coogan told the NME. "All the people play themselves and I play Steve Coogan, this British comedian who's in New York and wants to try and break into America."
Beginning in 1986, Jarmusch has already shot three short films in the Coffee and Cigarettes series. He has a long history of hiring musicians as actors, working with Waits, Iggy and the late great Joe Strummer, amongst others.
Jesus, this is absolutely fucking blinding!
Steve bloody Coogan...The Stripester's...Molina, Waits and Iggy. Throw in a smoking monkey and I'm at the pearly gates. No doubt it'll be damn-near excellent even without that darn monkey.
Steve COOGAN, Jesus...he's a COMEDY genius. Molina is a damn fine thesp'...and the rest...*wow*, well they're the COOLEST bunch I've come across in many a year.
Iggy Pop...and...and...Meg White...and...oh dear...
I need to lie down.
