ppl pointing to this George Michael clip as probable look’n'feel for Kahn’s take: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc4NTe5O488

some of the scenes in that reminded me of the Man->Dog transformation in Ellis’s Mech

As for the last lines: so much true. Any production company should consider this project as a possible cult feature for their names and calculate with a zero balance as for the budget instead of direct profit.

Another thing: talking about iconic guys of the era, who would you take from ours? Iggy Pop is not our era, for sure. So who? An emo guy, a retro disco guy, a dubstep-head? I couldn’t come up with anything specific from fashion or movies, really, nothing outstanding. (Bale? Hell, no, not _again_…) Here’s the point: I am just not sure we have such heros as we could have a decade ago. Or maybe they should just find someone with the definite potential and not the scene-relation – like Lambert for Nirvana, an excellent choice (imho).
