Val Kilmer as "Axl Rose?" (Rumor)
Is there any truth to this rumor? I live in New York, and I was listening to talk-radio host Mark Cooper, on the Morning-show called "Waking Up With Coop," and he mentioned that Val Kilmer was going to play Axl Rose in the Guns N Roses movie because they were discussing how good Kilmer was as Jim Morrison in "The Doors" movie (that "The Doors" movie had problems, but Kilmer wasn't a part of the problem, etc, etc).
Anyway, I've peeked online to see if there's any mention of a Guns N Roses movie, but nah-dah.

As for my "two cents" (if the rumors are true), I think Val Kilmer is way too old to portray Axl Rose.

GNR with its mostly original lineup released 4 albums, 2 at the same time, 1 a cover, and an EP with half live tracks.
I love GNR, but there is no way they are making a movie about them.

I don't think that's why they wouldn't make a movie about them. They're making a Jeff Buckley movie who had just one album.

A movie about guys that are still alive and one of them being a real doucher isn't much of a draw in my opinion. Now, if they made a movie about their heyday around Appetite and everything that led up to it and happened shortly thereafter it would be ok.

I think a movie is justified. The 'Appetite' Days were WILD. If 'The Doors' were worthy, GNR is worthy...now...as for Val playing Axl.....I can't see it.
James Franco I can see playing Axl, but hasn't be been cast as Jeff Buckley already?

^ Ditto.
I think they should have Kilmer portray Axl in his current state and Ryan Gosling portray him during the hey days of Appetite and Use Your Illusion.
